I read somewhere Paul Turner is on the way out. Should be announced shortly. Cody Ramsey is also out for next season.

What happened to Finau and Tamale?

What happened to Finau and Tamale?

I thought they were confirmed top 30.

	Dragons Top 30​
Hooker​	Jacob Liddle	I was very unhappy about Hook signing him but he surprised me. He's never going to be a star but with a bit better go forward from the middle forwards, I think he'll go ok.
Fullback	Tyrell Sloan, Cody Ramsey, Corey Allan	Hoping Sloan comes good next season. Really need him to.
Wing	Mikaele Ravalawa, Mat Feagai, Sione Finau	Finau has to be the first picked. Rava can't make the right decision about when to come in and when to stay out. Feagai can't do that or tackle. Both are painfully slow for wingers.
Centre​	Moses Suli, Zac Lomax, Max Feagai, Savelio Tamale, Jack Bird (also second row/lock)	Also slow but I rate Suli, Lomax and Tamale. Feagai as well if he learns to f**king tackle!
Prop​	Blake Lawrie, Francis Molo, Hame Sele, Michael Molo (also lock), Alec Tuitavake, Toby Couchman, Viliami Fifita	Quantity but not quality. Coachman is serious quality. Lawrie is every second persons favourite player but I think he'd be better coming off the bench. I think jodragon40 thinks that as well.
Second row​	Jaydn Su’A, Dan Russell, Ben Murdoch-Masila, Tom Eisenhuth	One good second rower and a few aging fringe first graders.
Lock​	Jack de Belin, Ryan Couchman (also second row)	Quality!
Halves​	Ben Hunt, Talatau Amone, Kyle Flanagan (also hooker), Paul Turner	Jesus that's bad! Even with Amone it would be bad but as is, hard to imagine it much worse.
Supplementary players​	Connor Muhleisen (hooker), Cory Ackers (lock), Dylan Egan (second row), Hamish Stewart (prop), Jackson Shereb (second row), Josh Coric (lock)	Some serious quality in that list! Need them to step up and play NRL regularly from next year. Is Coric really a lock is it just News Ltd idiots not having any idea what they are talking about?
Coaches​	Shane Flanagan, Dean Young, Ryan Carr	Hasler was my first choice just ahead of Flanno. Since he signed his son, I'm not so optimistic anymore. Obviously a big fan of Deano as a player and I liked what I saw re Ryan Carr last season.

Another long semi finaless season ahead but there is hope my 2025 prediction made 3 seasons ago may come to fruition.

Some really promising young players but for next year, there are still some very serious problems with this squad.
Missing a good second rower.
Jury is out on the props.
Wingers are too slow.
And 5/8.
As Eric said about needing Sloan not to disappoint us.

If we are going to be pleasantly surprised those 2 young ex Manly forwards need to step up next season. I can see our prop rotation as being Lawrie/Sele/Molo/Molo. If thats the case they are too small against the bigger packs . Time will tell if I'm right or I am too old to comment anymore.

Don't know much about them but Manly let them go for Aaron Woods.

They most certainly did. The proof will be in the pudding come kick off time
