Metcalf Dragons bound.

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

    • I understand the price and Dragons going for him. Though he is a one year wonder. He will be 28 and had injury history. It is a gamble. However, St. George are in the position where they need to gamble.

      • 7s are worth any perceived risk. A good 7 can turn your whole team around instantaneously, we know better than anyone. I don't think Penrith would cover Cleary as well as they used to with all the quality players they've lost. Still a good side but nothing like 2022

        • A good 7 can, but they don't do anything unless they are on the field. Best ability is availability.

  • Dragons paid 900k for Metcalf, 900k for Drinkwater, have Gutherson contracted still for next season at $900k, have Keaon on $1.2mil, Val on $700k. How? They have spent half their cap on 5 players? Is this good recruitment? They don't even have a head coach. Young was thrown to the wolves knowing he won't win a game this year. 

  • Metcalf is a decent player but he isn't worth the money the media are reportedly saying he is asking for. 

  • Sua in blue and gold before 30 June would be very nice. Our team starts looking a whole lot stronger with Ionghi, Tuivati and Sua in there
