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

There are poor decisions in there. The 2021 off-season was a clear disaster that has set us back slowley. But MON is one of many within the building working together making decisions for this club.
They are doing what they feel is best for the club and I believe are doing their best. But is best good enough?
Newcastle are 8th. We are 14th.
Trey Mooney was a no brainer. Better then Thompson for less money.
See the key with Newcastle isn't Holbrook like everyone is suggesting I think it's Peter O'Sullivan he's giving Holbrook the tools.He was at the Dolphins before that and your seeing similarities with the roster build the guy knows talent and how to go about landing that talent I feel that's what we are missing here.
For less money? He signed for $600k. Would you have paid a player with 24 NRL games experience that much straight away?
Less than the dogs offered Thompson.
Trey Mooney was indeed a no-brainer
They have a good bunch of young forwards coming through and both metcalf and drinkwater are great additions along with Kolomatagi.
We on the other hand cant even keep our best juniors although we've bought nobody, and our number one up and coming prop can negotiate shortly
cook and sua gone next year
Metcalf is a very good player of high potential. However, 40 odd games over 5 to 6 years with an asking price of 1 million. Forget about it! On the plus side sua may get released early.
I can't see them letting him go early with a run at the finals looming, but in a perfect world, Metcalf to Dragons could see Sua coming over to us early.
This would be great as he's usually left side from memory which is where Lorenzo will likely end up (MM on right), meaning Ryles may get the experiment started early with protection in place for the yourg 6.
