Suaalii to the Dragons?

[Bates]

A topic of conversation on NRL 360 last night. Flanno and JS share the same management. It's rumoured that he may be the Dragons fullback next season.

[mightyrooster]

Buzz mentioned it in his Sunday column that Flanno is interested allegedly..

[Easts75]

Zero chance this happens

In no way would this be beneficial for Suaalii. He either stays with us, plays with a better team and collects his big cheque or he heads to the Wallabies early and gets a bigger cheque !!

[OMR]

They said the dragons are interested, that’s all. They never said JS is interested nor there has been any talks , just click bait.

[Bates]

Another $250k on top of his $750k plus an opportunity to play fullback could be tempting.

I hope it eventuates! Young is arguably the games best right winger and this would free up $750k to spend elsewhere.

Can't see it happening.
He will see out his contract with us or a slight possibly leave to union early.

Flanno may be interested and also interested in 20 other players
Just like Robbo and every other coach would be interested in many players from other clubs.
A salary cap prevents that, just clickbait from the media.

If he was to spend 2024 at the Dragons we would be paying most of his contract, might as well stick with him for 2024.

Flanno wants Manu too.
Benji wants Teddy.
Bennett wants Walker.
Arthur wants Billy.

Flanno wants Manu too.
Benji wants Teddy.
Bennett wants Walker.
Arthur wants Billy.

There's no one available that you'd want to spend $750k on atm...

Won't be happening but if the Roosters finally have some luck on the injury front the competition for spots for the back 5 will be interesting - FB/WG/CNT which they haven't had for several years due to injury and what not.- Ditto Forwards

I don't think Suaalii at Centre and Manu at FE are off the table options either

Back 5

• Tedesco - FB
• Toops - WG
• Billy Smith - CNT/WG
• Toia - CNT/WG
• Momirovski - CNT/WG
• Suallii - WG/CNT/FB
• Manu - CNT/FB/WG/FE
• Young - WG/CNT
• Murphy - WG

9 Players

Competition for Forwards spots as well

• Collins - FR
• JWH - FR
• Leniu - FR
• May - FR
• N Butcher - SR/FR
• E Butcher - SR
• Radley - LK/SR/DH
• Sitili - SR
• Crichton - SR
• Wong - SR/LK
• Whyte - FR/SR
• Brandon Smith - DH/LK/SR

12 Players

Utilities

• Watson - LK/DH
• Sandon Smith - HB/FE/DH/FB
• Hutchinator - HB/FE/DH/CNT *

2 or 3 players

* Re-signing to be confirmed

Halves

• Keary - FE/HB
• Walker - HB/FE

2 Players

* Plus as above Sandon Smith and the Hutchinator - Connor Watson has played 5/8/ , HB and FB although not sure if he is seen as more of a forward utility nowadays


So 25 or 26 players for 2024 leaving up to 4 or 5 Top 30 squad spots left to fill - Noting though that the Roosters don't sign 30 - 27 or 28 max

Flanno wants Manu too.
Benji wants Teddy.
Bennett wants Walker.
Arthur wants Billy.

That reads like the Peter Gabriel song Games Without Frontiers.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Makes sense since we have bought Young and the other pommy,
Billy and Joey in the centres, plus Toia coming through.
Suaalii, Young or Toops would play reserve grade, that's a waste.
If saints want to pay the full $700K, let him go.

Mate it's Roosters related and not everyone on here has Kayo so I thought I'd share it.

LOL. Great song. If looks could kill they probably will In games without frontiers war without tears

I need very little encouragement to post a sing song So here we go
