Arrow staying at south's until 27.
Would think he's had to take a bit of a pay-cut.
It’s south’s mate. Rusty probably bought him a boat and offered him an acting career once he retires 😂 was really hoping he would go to market and we had a genuine crack at trying to get him here. He’s the type of prop we need.

Yeah I was hoping he'd test the market atleast, if he were sign with us great, very least hope he's putting pressure on their Cap so they have to offload a few others.

They got Walker, Wighton, Graham, Latrell, Cook, Arrow, Burgess, Murray, Keon all on big money. Plus players like Johnston, Ilias, Tatola who would be on at least 400k+ each, Tatola probably closer to 500k.

Surely they’ll have to get rid of 1 or 2 players you’d think.

Rusty must have splashed for Easts accountant

Got Keppie coming also, reportedly he’s on 500k

Depth could be a bit shallow, got Tallis Duncan and Munro who will likely be good contributors next season on the cheap

They’ll let the likes of Tass Milne Thompson go and probably sign another star. Sele has gone somewhere already - Dragons?
Taaffe the only other departure I can think of

Yeah forgot about Keppie. FMD we’ve named 13 players and I’m honestly seeing at east 3/4 of their cap right there. Keon is getting a huge upgrade also apparently around 750-850k per season.

Gotta think they’ll be quite shallow but if they just lose one or two at a time they come into a stacked side and will be fine

Even big Shaq had a couple good games, if he can have a few more on top this season he’ll be handy for them. And he’ll stay on the cheap out of loyalty.

Only big Q would be a long term out for Trell without Taff to cover. Knowing them Munro would come in and announce himself because the likes of Walker and Wighton can cover any ball playing deficiency and let him run

Even Cook a big out if they are otherwise mostly healthy they’d be fine

From my understanding Keppie was signed to possibly replace Burgess who’s future will be sorted once he returns from the UK still not enough to put them under the cap imo tho.

Manu. Big coin.

Sources speaking on the condition of anonymity given negotiations haven’t commenced said the Dragons would be prepared to pay up to $1.2 million a year over four years in a bid to make the transfer happen.

Look, we might not do much in the signing department, but it’ll be somewhat entertaining watching Flanno try and recruit anybody of value, you see his comments about Manu? Wondering loudly if Manu is satisfied not playing his ‘best position: fullback’ at the Chooks, or if he wants to come to the Dragons and fulfil his potential. I’m paraphrasing, but thats the crux of what he meant I felt.

Manu could have got big dollars and played fullback at the Warriors before re-signing with the Roosters. Can't see him leaving the Roosters anytime soon.

Flanno's going to do his best to impression of the Dolphins circa 2022.

I thought the same about RTS leaving them. I know a bit different because he wanted to go home but you never know.

Uncle Nick might need to play more golf with Manu.
