It’ll be interesting to see if Walmsley and Makinson go because they’ve just signed long term deals at Saints and they haven’t advertised any get out clauses.

As for the others I’m not sure how guys like Watkins (when fully fit), Clark, Lomax or Scott Taylor would be seen as not being good enough if players like Sutton and Williams are. I rate Sutton and I rate Williams but they’re no better then those guys listed (and in Suttons case he isn’t as good as guys like Scott Taylor, Chris Hill or Walmsley at the moment yet he’s been picked up).

And even none of those props are better than Liam Watts or Luke Thompson

Isn't this "Up for Sale" jus another edition of fake news?

I'm glad IL didn't sign Gareth Widdop it was a wise decision. The dragons have done a great job of covering up his injury from last season. They moved him to full back so he could slowly & quietly be rehabbed without the tackling commitments that a half back makes. As soon as he got a tiny tap on his shoulder, it completely broke down. It was a good choice to stay clear.

It looks a concern for sure. I hear sometimes the Aussies coming out with comments that they can come here to prolong their careers as it’s not as demanding but that is surely arrogant rubbish. He will need to stop big blokes either here or in the NRL and at Wire he will be playing in the line at halfback as they won’t move Ratchford.

they moved to to FB cos hes not as good as Hunt or Norman

He isn't that good full stop. I just don't get the hype. Blake Austin on the other hand.......

But there's always the 'new kit' thread to keep us going.

Sutton did not look out of place in yesterdays game played at 13 first 20 mins and last 20 mins nearly got a try, they must have seen something in Sutton to go for him.

I rate him as I say but to say guys like Hill and Taylor aren’t good enough for the NRL must be incorrect to my mind because Sutton looks pretty good down there and I’d say they’re currently better players.

?? I'm basically repeating what 3 former NRL players said this morning

must be true then..

They moved him to FB as he's no longer in the Dragon's future planning. The recurring shoulder problem is a big concern for me, and I just hope that he has more luck with it, if and when he wears the P&B.
Injuries are just part and parcel of the game, as you have experienced with Manfredi and Burgess, to name but two.

Widdop with two dislocated shoulders would still be a better acquisition than Sammut. You 'steered clear' because you're potless....and by potless i mean skint not trophyless....you've got loads of them.

And you're not skint and yet ARE trophyless.

Which is the more admirable position, I wonder ... to do more with less, or less with more?
