      • @ea is Mataele any good in the middle?

        • He is pretty good in the middle in nsw cup.Always bends the line. I think for Mataele is weather he can handle the jump of intensity and speed of NRL

      • I reckon that is very possible. If Flanno is sacked come Tuesday, freezing of contracts, place would be in a hole. Then play Souths, Roosters, Newcastle and Penrith. They could be 0-10 this year.

        Su'A might go and Egan can get minutes.

        i have been saying go for Keaon, but I wonder with Su'A gone if this makes the new Dragons coach put Keaon on an edge which is what he would prefer? Halangahu and Egan are top talents but Keaon is better than both right now and that could be one thing that keeps him at Saints.

    • Dont think JDB will be kept 

      • Gawd, I hope not! What a waste of a signing. 

        Not sure what additionally he is even offering as an off field mentor either.

  • This is a nice signing. Also helps if Keaon somehow gets out. Who knows he might have a flanno clause for all we know.

    Regardless, very nice signing. Adds physicality, experience and class to our pack. Tuilagi can now be impact off the bench.

  • Our next recruit surely has to be a back now, we need a Russell replacement

    • I personally think we need a metre eating athletic winger more than we need a centre. We really need to balance out JAC's speed for some metres

    • Joel our next target is Keaon. Their friendship we need to take advantage of. Mitch get into the ear of Jaydn and push for Keaon to do a DCE if he can. All you can say is I signed for Flanagan and now he's gone I don't want to be here. 

      Then go for a Centre. Let's be greedy and get 2 class forwards.

      Imagine a pack of

      8. Keaon

      9. Smith

      10. Paulo

      11. Williams

      12. Su'A 

      13. Hopgood

       

      Much better. Then the bench with Walker, Da Silva, Tuivaiti and Moretti or whoever else is great.

      • Never say never it is the NRL but the rules are very different than what they were when DCE backflipped since they introduced the cooling off. Parra had Keon all but signed until the dragons offered that extra year. That extra year on big money means a lot for a young bloke trying to guarantee a bank loan and buy a house etc etc
