SIGNING NEWS!
Huge coup for St George Illawarra Dragons via @IsaacIssaRL - signing Dolphins five-eighth Kodi Nokirma - GREAT TALENT!
#NRL
The dragons have just sign Kodi Nikorema and with the signings made thus far, they'll easily jump us imo. Parramatta on the other hand sign other clubs unwanted players or 1y deals.
What the hell is happening with our recruitment department?. Its just absolutely mind boggling. There's no accountability They're just failures its that simple.
Ive heard the excuse makers talk. They say its because players would rather sign with a premiership club, or its tpa related, or that other clubs are paying overs - its just a bunch of baloney.
The fact is, our r and r isn't doing the job. Sure Ryles is part of the recruitment process but he has 30 players to manage and coach aswell.
Ive even heard that Mitchell Moses has been on the phones in the club’s offices trying to entice potential recruits.
There's no excuse -the administration from top to bottom have failed the club, its sponsors and the fans.
Im betting those higher up are looking at the Tigers and patting themselves on their backs thinking, well at least we don't leak and aren't the butt of jokes in the media. Well they'd better hope that the Benji led rabble don't beat us on Sunday, because that will only add to the jokes they have become.

We have the frank ponissi of the west lol all will be good
Lollllll
Haha COUP, he's just bouncing around the competiton looking to cruise along for the highest bidder
I agree our recruiment is gash. But why is a 33 year old Nikorima needed after the Luai signing?
We need outside backs and a lock
Man i'm taking Luai and Moses combo to work with Iongi and TDS. We need outsidebacks and forward, i'd still be hoping for Matty Burton too.
Im not happy about our Recruitment any more than you are, but if your going to make a point, make a better one than using the Dragons recruitment as an example.
Clintorian, the proof will be in the pudding with next year's results. Currently they have a much stronger squad with a young pack with talent and some good recruits. Parramatta so far haven't improved the squad from this year,
The Dragons young guns will be gone while they have these overpaid so called past their prime stars. Dragons haven't learn't from 25,26, they need to recruit on Elite. We as a club are more in for Elite but we have useless board that does fk all with it.
Do they? I'm gonna be petty and let's do a comparison of the 17-19 next year.
Iongi < Drinkwater (I'll give you Drinkwater but I think Iongi is more complete, Drinkwater is a match winner now tho)
Addo Carr & Kelly vs. Setu Tu & Philip Sami. I'd take ours.
Penisini & Samrani vs. Suli & Holmes. About the same.
Luai & Moses vs. Atkinson & Metcalf. lol.
Tuivati vs. Pasifiki-Tonga. I'd say similar.
Couchmans, Stewart, Koloamatangi, Guler, Sele > Teancum, Doorey, Moretti, Guymer, Hopgood (their guys have more potential and upside, they win this but not a huge amount. Teancum is developing well and one of Doorey and Moretti can still improve and Hopgood can regain his form).
Egan, Halangahu, Leilua vs. Su'A, Kautoga, Williams. I take ours.
Nikorima, Watson, Liddle vs. Da Silva, Ryley, Edwards. I'd say they have the experience so they win out but ours have way higher potential.
And that's before we sign a back and a middle.
