Bulldogs have pulled out of the race for Metcalf and his asking price is around 1 million dollars. Dragons most likely spot but to get him immediately I wonder if this means they will allow Sua to join us early to free up cap space to get Metcalf immediately. Just seems logical

Don't think warriors will let him go this year considering how well they are going. Wouldn't make sense unless the relationship has become toxic
For sure TMM is in the 20 this week. And they still have young Hansen and Cleary. Metcalf is completely out of the picture. Especially if Nz can get a player as well somehow out of it
If he is released early, it is plausible.
if we can get sua early just good to build combinations with Moses and get used to the team. Pretty much the main reason I'd push for it
Dragons paying overs. Metcalf,drinkwater both 1mill each and kk aswell. Thats 3 mill plus holmes,gutho,cook,on massive coin. They just don't learn do they the saints. They will have to offload some plsyers now. Which in hindsight they will struggle to keep the couchman brothers, hamish stewart and dylan egan.
very desperate signings no doubt. Similar to Newcastle just throwing money around
It's what they have to do if they haven't got that on the roster we were much the same if we'd have landed Galvin or Kolomatangi we were offering close or exactly the same type of money.
This is the thing the market and demand dictates value.Metcalfe is one of few halves available.Cooks gone so that'll remove a block of cash off there books.Holmes is probably on his last legs there years wise.Now they have have a spine in place.
The question I have is why are players like Metcalfe Kolomatangi Drinkwater sign so quickly with one if not thee worst team in the comp.TPAs must be rampant there.
3m is nothing to spend on your spine. Melbourne have been paying closer to 4 prior to Pap leaving
Coryn, I have come to bat for MON in recent weeks as people are blaming him for stuff he has nothing to do with or is out of his control. But I can admit as well that it is quite telling that Dragons can sign two players without a coach. Granted paid overs but still signed them. Yet we still struggle.
So there is something not quite right going on there. Before Chief jumps on me for being hypocritical I have never once voided MON of blame, just credited him for good things and called people out for things he has no control on or has nothing to do with. I have called him out for poor decisions, KK and Galvin prime examples.
Newcastle are 8th. We are 14th.
Trey Mooney was a no brainer. Better then Thompson for less money.
