Lomax and Amone had a bust up at training. Zac took exception for a hit Amone put on him. I hope Amone starts doing the same to opposition players during games!

Good luck with that. I just hope he makes an effort on a consistent basis.

I didn't mean to be negative just realistic. If both become top first grade players next season, it will be almost unheard of. If one of them becomes a good first grader next year, that will be great. As far as I can see, definitely need at least one more good middle and one more good edge forward.Now the Dragons bringing good, young forwards into first grade is "a dream".

A little early but I'd also like to wish everyone a happy Christmas and New Year. Stay safe, don't drink too much. It's going to a big year! Could it be the beginning of the end of the decade long nightmare? Some real talent coming though the grades and a few old heads like JDB, Hunt or seasononed NRL playes like Su'A, Lomax around to lead them.

‘Got a bit feisty’: Dragons, Waratahs settle age old debate in fiery League vs Union session
The Dragons and the Waratahs put the age old debate of which is the superior code to the test in a fiery opposed training session at the NSW Centre of Excellence in Daceyville.The sight of Dragons lock Jack Bird and Waratahs back-rower Lachie Swinton getting involved in some argy-bargy and bit of push and shove, showed the competitive juices were flowing when the two clubs went head-to-head in a a spirited training run.
However, any Dragons players looking to make the code switch to play second row in rugby union have some work to do on their lineouts, after some comical attempts at times, that were met with roars of laughter from both squads on the sidelines.

Jack Bird looks in better shape than last season. Toward the end of last season, he looked outright fat.

You are busy this morning! Thanks for sharing those links. Woods says Jack Bird has been training at lock. That doesn't bode well for Woods spot in the 17. Or Bird starting from the bench, coming on to give JDB a rest after 30min and staying on seems like it might be a good option.‘Got a bit feisty’: Dragons, Waratahs settle age old debate in fiery League vs Union session

Fiery Dragon Lomax is ready to finally ignite
St George Illawarra star Zac Lomax
was on his best behaviour at training, avoiding getting into scraps with his teammates, during a cross-code opposed session with the NSW Waratahs on Monday. Senior Dragons players giggled about the training-ground squabble between Lomax and Junior Amone last week, and applauded the young pair for showing such spirit.Lomax tried to shove Amone out of the way at marker as he played the ball, only for Amone to object and stand up for himself before a melee erupted.
If everything goes to plan, Lomax will be making plenty more headlines next season as he looks finally deliver on the top-shelf brand of football Red V fans have only seen in glimpses.
“Zac has been fantastic,” Dragons forward Jack de Belin said. “He’s one of the best athletes I’ve seen, he’s that fit and strong and skilful - he’s got it all.
“The last couple of years, he’s played some fantastic footy, but at the same time he’s copped a lot of flak. He just needs to knuckle down and play good footy, and I expect nothing less from him. He’s a star player and definitely in for a big 2023.”
Dragons can't get out of the news over the last week and for a change, not bad news.
Lomax has been mostly good. Maybe not as good as a lot of us hoped he would be 5 years ago but now he's in his prime, a decent pack giving halves more time and them giving outbacks better service will do wonders for Zac. As good as Rava is, I think a really speedy winger would compliment him as well.

I'm generally the first to cut Dragons players some slack. Unless they are overpaid imports. But to be honest, in the first half a last season, he had some shockers.Fiery Dragon Lomax is ready to finally ignite

I wonder what they are going to do about Amone? Give Wallace a top 30 contract as a like for like replacement? Seems the club already has Mbye and Bird who can play in the halves assuming Sullivan and Hunt are first picks. Might be an idea to sign another rookie forward.

#9 and #12 are problems. Bit premature to put Lobb in. He doesn't have a top 30 contract at present.

You would have to imagine one of the Couchman's or Dylan Egan has been penciled in to play in the second row. Otherwise why wouldn't the club be looking for someone like Bateman. I don't mean him but a high quality second rower from somewhere. Sims would have been a better option than Burns.
RedV01
SGI NSW Cup
I would have even preferred Josh McGuire to hang around for another year rather than Burns. Or even one Jack Gosiewski
seems like a better option than Burns. Unless Burns has improved out of sight in the off season, which is possible because he's still young though unlikely, there is simply no way he could be a first choice starting second rower!

Burns the man with no emotion , score a try no emotion , drop a ball no emotion , win a game no emotion , lose a game no emotion ....... IMO he will go alright still young and emotionless ......
