It’s a balance for sure. You don’t want to panic sign anyone who’s available, and you don’t want to ignore decent opportunities because they aren’t Harry Grant or Tedesco.
Gutho was a centre/winger when he came into the NRL.. He won Dally M fullback of the year this year...
Exactly right. With the money we have available you simply aren't going to get options that don't carry some reasonable amount of risk. Some will be age/injury, others will be attitude and some will even be down to quality or potential.
He may have debuted in the NRL as a Winger/Centre, but I think you'll find he was very much a Fullback coming up the grades. That's wildly different to what you're suggesting.
Have people honestly not looked at our other Fullback options if we don't sign someone soon?
who a busted widdop?
All those players you’ve named are contracted until the end of 22. Meaning we sign them November next year but can’t have them until 2023. Again, Widdop on a 2 year deal is gone before Brimson is even available.
So you front load contracts now and keep the team that won the spoon until 2023 when decent players are available?
there was a reason dragons fans were happy to see the back of widdop
Gebbie isn't off contract- he doesn't have one.
If he doesn't have a contract then he is off contract.
In 2022 most of these players will be a lot better. They will improve dramatically. I'd rather keep cap space free and upgrade whoever we need to. Widdop and Friend would be able to steer the ship.
