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

  • 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.

      • 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?
