Tigers are favourites $1.81 v Dragons $2.04 interesting considering we gave them a touch up.

This is the guy we must nab for Zac. Plays centre, wing, fullback. Arent yawnion players salary cap exempt?

Add the rest. He is only following orders from his old man.

TBH, I wasn't that impressed with that highlights reel. Looks like another big but not very quick outside back. Don't we have enough of those?

Different team this time around ...... If they don't stay focused we will get rolled ........

Team list today is going to be interesting. I predict more tinkering around the edges. Something like Sele in for Mike Molo and CT in for Rava and that will be it.

Then you are a hard task master. That footage showed me that Petaia is big, fast, elusive and skillful. Plus he brings international experience to our club. And as yawnion guys are salary cap exempt (stand corrected) we are getting him cheaply.

I will start getting excited when we sign at least 1 big bodied prop until then we will struggle to make the 8

One good, big bodied prop. We have several of big bodied props already. All of them except Lawrie. I guess Sele is also on the small side for a prop. Will have to come from within or a young player yet to debut from another club because who is there to sign?

We have several small props hopefully we will give a start to both Fifita and Tuitavake off the bench sooner rather than later

A coupe of tries show his pace over both short and longer distances. I like the way he can sniff out a gap and go thru quickly. Has neat footwork too, love his in and away to score for the Reds. He can cover three positions, has an offload at pace and is a team player, not a show pony. All terrific attributes.

Lawrie, Sele and ............ I guess even that is too many small props. Is there a place for them in the modern game at all? Due to the way the best props are all big even for props and play a lot of minutes.

Before we go all ga ga over yet an other quality Dragons prospect, we have to accept that bringing Shane Flanagan to our club has not improved our pulling power to lure marquee players.

.. hopefully, but I dont think Flanagan rates either. Maybe something to do with them not coming here on his watch.

Hope your wrong otherwise it's another long season

I just don't know about Fifita. Looks like an imported version of Jackson Shereb. Prototype build for a good prop (as opposed to backrower for Shereb) but needs a trainer behind him with a cattle prod telling him to get involved.

I want to be optimistic but I think it's clear now, there won't be much improvement this season. Maybe late in the year if Flanno picks a few young players who do well. But I think finals are out of the question.

According to NCs Mike Carayannis Flanagan has met with Petaia but has as yet not made him a formal offer. Instead we are expected to offer Panthers outside back Sunia Turuva a deal. This bloke is slower and less skillful than Petaia imho and not in the same class as Zac Lomax..

I watched him in one full game and he did get involved without the need of a cattle prod. Flanagan gave him a pissweak 8 mins in his only top game. He made four powerful carries and 6 crunching tackles in that short time. The next match he was back in Ressies. jodragon, like me, rates him.
