Dragons centre for Eels

Posted by Tragiceel on August 11, 2010 at 2:36pm

Just wondering if anyone has heard about the Dragons having to release a centre to accommodate Gasnier? Kyle Stanley, Matt Cooper or Beau Scott would be great for our team. I rate all three as good centres and it is one area we are lacking in. I think Kyle Stanley would be the pick of them, he is young, fast and creative. He is rated by alot of critics. Scott must be pissed off after playing SOO to be pushed aside by Gasnier.

Thoughts?

Speaking of the Dragons, surely we must be looking long and hard and Hornby now? He hasn't been signed and I've missed it, has he?

No - but they have offloaded Jeremy Smith to Cronulla today

i read on the illawarra paper a deal was done for another 2 years with the dragons to keep him a one team player

Haven't heard anything from the Dragons, Phil, Bennett must be keeping a lid on things over there. I agree Hornby would be a good buy at the right price. He is not a dynamic half but will give you 100%. Also his kicking game is pretty handy. Not much else about at the moment.

Definitely not Matt Cooper, he's either injured or left swallowing the dust of the better wingers and centres in the game.
Beau Scott might be good if he was cheap.

Mate, he's an Origin centre he is not going to be cheap. Mind you, we're almost past the point of looking for cheap, because it's no like we need to particularly accommodate any star signing.

If I was signing Beau Scott, it would be as a backrower which is what he is, not a centre. How he was ever picked in Origin as a centre is one of the great selection shambles of our era IMO.

  Hornby has signed with dragongs for two more years 100 per cent done deal, he was on big sports breakfast on Monday morning saying he had signed. I wouldn't want him anyway.. Not a natural half!!

I agree, all our efforts should be focusing on Hornby, might even perk Poore up a bit having an ex team mate in the mix!!!!

I doubt Dragons are letting Hornby, their captain go... Though it is possible, Gasnier will be captain again if he left...
We don't really need centres do we? What's wrong with Tahu and Reddy? Stanley would make a great wing if we could get him!
