(Archived) THE RUMOUR MILL - Player Movement

[Blair]

some good players off contract at the end of this year :

Backs: Blake Feguson - Mansour - Esan Masters

Forwards: Felise Kaufusi - Tevita Pangai

I've been really impressed with Marsters. Has a few issues with defence, but overall, has a lot of potential.

Good for the right centre position if Dugan stays at fullback and Ramien plays there all year.

Kaufusi would be an awesome replacement for Lewy as well. I love Lewy, but if a genuine replacement comes along that can contribute more, than it is what it is.

You got a good eye Blair

 

[Mr Wright]

Kafusi would be incredibly hard to snag off Melbourne I'd think. He's just about the best edge backrower in the comp

With that said, if we could land TPJ and Kafusi (next to no chance) as Gal/Lewy replacements, I'd cum buckets.

I'd prefer Dennis Ferguson over Blake Ferguson

Soft hands

No thanks to Fergo + Dugan.

Yep. I don't hate him but understand if some do. That doesn't change the fact he's a good player.

Even if I thought he would be a good pickup. I really don’t think we need him. With who we’ve got now and the young talent who’ll be pushing for a spot in the coming years. We don’t need him. In fact all we really need next year is at least one top tier backrower to replace Lewy and Gal if they give it away. Or simply if we need to replace departing players. I’m happy with our front row rotation and who we’ve got waiting in the wings, we’ve got our hooker sorted for the long term, I still think our halves will get better and better as the year goes on and they have more games together, plus we’ve got Flanno Jr waiting for a chance and our backs are sorted.

Ryley jacks being shopped around. Not asking a lot, could be a decent option to come in as halves depth and push for that 6 spot.

Think he will end up at Canberra mate - Especially after the injuries last night.

Leeson Ah Mau is off contract this year. Worth talking to?

He's been killing it this year from what I've seen.

 

[Thresher]

Imagine the double-flop from Leeson and Fifs. Would make even the most corpulent of players slim, especially when viewed from side on.

Same, he's a beast.

He’s been consistently good for a few years now but he’s really stepped it up.

I doubt he will leave the saints tho they love him there

True but might be hard to keep him if their form keeps up. Guys like Aitken will require a significant upgrade, maybe Dufty too.

I really think Dufty could be let go for Jai Field, he is absolutely murdering the NSW Cup

Dufty has been killing it – safe under the high ball and lightning in attack. I can't see them moving him on.

Furthest thing from safe under the high ball mate, he is electric yes, but he gives off Nathan Gardner vibes...

I've watched a few Dragons games and only noticed one dropped bomb. Just looked up the stats though and you're right, he's behind only Tedesco for errors as fullbacks are concerned. Surprising though – in Rd 2 he made Holmes look like Pom.

Is Gardner still playing?? Last I heard he was in the Tigers lower grades, but don't recall his name appearing in the lower grades for them.
