I just don't see this happening. We already have a fullback.

In fact, we have two.

And I don't see Dugan wanting to play anywhere except for fullback. It was previously argued on here that we couldn't possibly put Gordon on the wing for Gardner (because he was bought as a fullback or something), so if that is the case we couldn't do it for Dugan either.

I also doubt we have any money left for this year and he will want to get on the park as soon as possible.

It doesn't fit.

Just try and buy a good specialist winger and/or centre next year.

Yes we could if he ends up that desperate for a club he will do what he is told or he's down to NSW cup
Btw Gordon > Dugun. So it's a spot in the centres/wing if Cronulla went after him

Dugan would get put at the back for sure. Gordon is 3 times the winger Dugan would be and I'd back him to be a much better centre. Dugan's ball skills would also be an asset at the back.

Not that any of this matters right now.

I have no inside knowledge on this but if Dugan ends up staying/playing RL in OZ the only clubs that are or might be interested in him would be

1) Titans, mainly cause they have a crack at anyone on the open market
2) Dragons, I dont have to explain, eveyone knows
3) Sharks, mainly cause of Todd & their friendship
4) Tigers, no reason not to have a crack


The other clubs already have fullbacks who they are happy with
Souths, Inglis
Dogs, Barba
Raiders, been there done that plus Robinson
Cowboys, Bowen
Panthers, are re building, doubt Gould would take him on
Parra, Hayne
Roosters, grooming Tuivasa something after Mini retires
Storm, Slater
Manly, Stewart
Warriors, Locke plus out of Oz
Knights, Boyd
Broncos, have already said no thanks.

He's manager is already on record saying he needs to go to a club that is the right fit for him where the club is stable & has a good leadership group of players.

In your head, rent free
id give him a crack at centre. he can tackle and bust the line. his support play isnt that good, and he is a target in the air.

why not. we need something out there

Doubt anyone would want to come and play in the centres with us, they'd never get the ball. Maybe the width of Shark Park is half the width of other grounds. I remember being really excited when we signed Vagana....waste of time signing him in the end.

This is a myth. If our centres don't get any ball then why is poms constantly our top try scorer?

When Wade goes running wide he is looking to get the ball to a centre running back in while he attracts the defenders or get the ball to the centre on the outside. Its not his fault Matty Wright just looks at him like a deer in headlights. At least Ricky was trying to run into gabs.

Well if it comes down to playing centre here or fullback at the merge I could comfortably say we'd be his choice.

Dugan would make a good centre.

Especially in our team.

We have importers posing as football players at #3-4
