St George Illawarra Dragons 2016

[Professor]

Good to be out on the turps the night before a game. Was Duges there?

Jesus, I didn't even pick up on this - from a quick scan I assumed it was the night following their game.

Lafai is struggling because that team has no **** idea how to attack. When he gets decent ball (like he did the other day), he's a really good young centre. They'd be mad to let him go unless they have too, anyone reasonable coach would have him as a focal point of their attack

The other day?
Milne played on Sunday.

Probably because Lafai was still drunk?

Nah. Milne was named on Tuesday. Lafai would have to be a late inclusion. He is injured anyway isnt he?

Makes it even worse!

I said Lafai was a good signing when it happened because he was s good player. Boy was I wrong though he's terrible now. Agreed with the poster who said they'll now have an excuse to punt him. Milne did more in 80 minutes than Lafai has all year.

Lafai was playing for the cutters on saturday. He was drinking after their game.
There is no issue with what day or night he was drinking.

Looks like he had already been dropped for his bad efforts.

Think Joey was pushing hard for him to come here

[Notaroboticfish]

Siliva Havili and Tim Lafai both reinstated.

Mitch Rein and Benji Marshall both won't be offered contracts for next year.

Yet Murdoch press reckon that Mitch Rein is an option for NSW hooker.

The sad thing is that he probably is

[-PJ-]

If they Drags are fair dink Benchi won't be selected later today.
He's on NRL360 tonight isn't he ?
Will be interesting to hear what he has to say about his future.

[reptar]

"It was a good flick pass, eh?"

[zim]

So what I'm seeing is no good first grade hookers at the club. Perhaps they should give McCrone a try there. I think he'd be great at hooker.

Dragons sign Nene Macdonald

Dragons sign Nene Macdonald

Great purchase by Saints. Words I thought I would never say.

Do you think Saints thought he was a 30 year old has been and accidentally recruited him?

[reptar]

They'll ruin him within 6 rounds. Man that club stinks.

[DJ89]

Benji Marshall confirms he turned down a $300,000 offer from the Dragons, as he believes he is worth more and looking for a three year deal.

Is he serious? I'd be surprised if he made it through one. He has loomed absolutely dreadful this year. Any side that signs him for three years is in for a rough time IMO.

Wait until they realise that MacDonald is neither old nor does he own a farm.

Newcastle?

[Green_Hammock]

I think Benji could do well at the Storm, replacing Green and letting Cronk and Smith do most of the organising leaving Benji to run the ball more. He would have to go for something like 300k though.

You have to think that his awfulness this season has a lot to do with the awfulness of the entire team. Widdop has also had an ordinary season, and Dugan when actually playing hasn't looked as dangerous as he has in past seasons.

[DJ89]

For a minimum of $300,000 for three seasons, I honestly think that would be a major step back for any team. Even Newcastle.

Sounds like another Glen Stewart or Anthony Watmough to me. Demanding the world only to fall apart within six months.

[Botman]

The lack of self evaluation going on for Benji is staggering
He really doesn't realise he sucks now, does he?
