Im not a fan of Dufty. He is a 1 trick pony in my eyes. Its a damn good trick, but he is Austin is faster shoes.
Duffty's much much younger than Austin, he's a hell of a lot more likely to improve/evolve his game than a nearly 28 year old career reserve/fringe first grader (before coming to us )

And while saying that Blake Austins best position would probably be fullback if he had the fitness and heart to perform the role week in week out, So Duffty is probably worth a punt IMO

Yeah that's him. That's why you only pay him min wage.
The eels playing Kaysa for 80mins or subbing him with Will Smith as a make-shift hooker was a pretty bad choice.

Charly Runciman is back in Australia. Outside back who would be worth a look at, as depth. Very good player coming through juniors at St.George. Now in his mid 20s after a stint in England.

Dragons won’t be signing Hayne now so you would expect that As a result Dufty will be staying put.

Seems more and more like we are totally frozen out of the market for first grade players and it's at least partially self inflicted.

The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

TPJ will not stay in Brisbane, he will end up at souths with papa Bennett or end up back in Canberra with his family.

At the end of the day Bennett is the only reason TPJ left Canberra and went to Brisbane anyway.

Having read the Fox Sports article... it's just a remarkable co-incidence that the Dragons clarify that they never ever told Dufty to find another club, the day after Hayne strikes more off field trouble!

Do you actually think we're a chance of getting Johnson? I can only see him either re-signing with Warriors or moving to a club like the Storm, Broncos or Roosters. As much as I'd like to see him in green I doubt we have a chance.

Johnson is snowflakes chance, but I'm still holding out hopes for TPJ.

I know Fensom isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I'd be quite happy to have him back in our squad as another experienced middle for next season.

Jordan Kahu apparently being shopped around. I'm not a massive fan. Wonder if the club will consider him as coverage for rapa.
