Doubt it.Agree....... and I would also hate to see him play for another team he has gone through some very tough times with us and stuck with us when he could have got bigger bucks elsewhere.

Doubt it.
I'm sure he would. But the salary cap being what it is, I doubt many clubs could have matched what we have been paying him over the years. He's been pretty much our only decent player for a lot of it.I'm pretty sure over the years at least Parra and Manly have been very interested in his services.
If Watmough can get a good 3yr deal at almost 32 then I got no doubt if Gal went on the open market he'd attract a lot of interest.
IF (and that's a big if), IF he did leave, I reckon there is every chance he would play us in ever game possible. Including trials, nines, tiddly winks etc etc
Gal would mark it down as if it was a 4th (and sometimes 5th) SOO game each year and would tear us a new one!
I'm on the "wouldn't want to see him go" band wagon.
Just saw on channel 7 Dane Nielson to the dragons.
also in Sydney Morning Herald that they signed him to plug holes left by Cronulla bound Beale and Stanley... Just announce it !Just saw on channel 7 Dane Nielson to the dragons.
I'm hearing the newtown nsw cup agreement is becoming tricky. Apparently they only want to take 6 of our players so the club has no idea what they are going to do with the rest of our reserve graders

Yeah ABC news said the same thing. I'm thinking they're done deals but just ironing out the contracts before announcing them. Or maybe at George weren't going to release Beale till the neilsen deal was done?also in Sydney Morning Herald that they signed him to plug holes left by Cronulla bound Beale and Stanley...

Id suggest we are waiting also to maximise the impact of the announcement... Maybe Lyall can do it.
to be fair, I don't think beale is going to cause an impact so to speak, I honestly think they are waiting for him to get back into australia[/QUOTE
It appears to me that Drags may have a better team than last year and have bulked up their Forward pack. Time will tell how it pans out

So Beale traded out, neilsen in. That's some pretty sad recruitment.

imo The Dragons are much worse off than last year, this going by my Dragons colleague who isn't at all pumped for the upcoming season.
