Official Connor Tracey

[Vichyssoise]

Tracey's stint at fullback showed exactly why he is valuable to us even if not in our 17.
No reason to release an asset early for no return.

Reminds me of what was said about Miller last offseason.

True, But we did get an up and coming young prop for memory

Was it really as a result of Miller going or a totally unrelated signing? I was under the impression it was the latter.

it was a trade

Ah okay. Thanks. I definitely have nothing to complain about then. Fair trade too.
I'd like to keep Tracey, but nobody's irreplaceable, especially a backup player.

I think Connor has more runs on the board than Lachie had …

Add in also that last time we released FB 3 we had FB 2 lost for the season like the next day. Think we will push harder for favourable terms going forward - not to say we should always expect incredible returns from players begging to be released, sometimes it’s just something is better than nothing

I'm ok with the Miller trade, he's just not that good. Getting a prospect middle who might turn out to be something decent was fine I reckon. Even if he amounts to nothing we haven't lost anything.

Agree we have more bargaining power with CT though, his last few weeks of the season would have only pushed his value up.

 

[CHOGM]

If Tracey was really trying to force his way out we could do worse

Exactly. I’d love to keep Tracey but I’d argue he’s given us enough.

Now that Sloan has been ruled out w/ injury, can see Dragons stepping up their pursuit

Back running by December though so not dire. Might see Lomax get a few more early reps, being ahead on fitness.

Wonder what the go with Ramsey is

 

[Sevshark]

Dragons don't really have any players I want, other than sele who just signed and possibly Lawrie but again just extended.

I like burns but you can just sign him from Nov 1st.

Get nothing for Tracey and get Burns a year later? Brilliant

Both Tracey and Burns are contracted for next season but available from 25
So you could broker a deal for a swap for 24 if we wanted it

Would rather do business with another team who have better assets.

Burns would be good depth but isn't someone we need

 

[Sharkfox]

Burns is off contract this year

Connor for a year is better than anyone there.

A few years ago I was thinking Cody Ramsey could have been our answers. Kennedy then came out with the big “don’t argue” on that take.
