          Comparatively with others I believe EA, sorry if I mispresented you.....thought you implied he was only effective at fullback and not much anywhere else.

            I dont think he was effective at centre last year. He has been very effective on the wing the past 1.5 years.

        Since when? EA loves Bloomfield. I think he mentioned he started 2026 slowly but had a great finish to the year.

    Lorenzo is showing no signs of mercurial and whilst Volkman is a solid reserve grade backup half, the chances of him being mercurial are as far away as a Ray Price comeback!

    I do not understand why you blokes insist on Burton not being our 5/8, do you understand that he is not the type of centre we need but is exactly the 5/8 we do need.....dum, dum,dum!......he will not come as a centre, rest assured.

    Jesse is older and made his first grade debut before Casey, obviously he isn't as good and has barely cracked first grade since his debut a couple of years ago. The panthers even preferred to bring Jenkins back from Newcastle, where he was ordinary at best, then to play Jessie.

    Whilst I'm not against signing him I can't get too excited either.

      Though even if it is a first line back-up, can do much worse.

        Thanks JC, I knew nothing about Jessie until I read that, assumed he was a younger version coming through, under those circumstances do not know why he is being talked about (ASSUMING more of the same). Why is Xerri not being talked about as an option?

  Melbourne Storm forward Shawn Blore is the next player on the big-spending Dragons’ shopping list for next season.

  They're busy signing good players whilst Sarantinos and o'neill are signing over the hill or injury prone players. 

  Dragons on top

    Shawn Blore sucks at everything but defence
