Player Ronald Volkman

[kos]

Good to see there is interest in him. Being out for a year while not having a club would have been a worry. Unless his manager was working hard it could have been out of sight out of mind.

When he was here and playing NSW Cup and looked like he was being developed to play first grade I enjoyed watching him play.

I d love to see him come back but have seen nothing other than Nzw fans on this forum saying we d like him back
Is there any official or rumour linking Ronnie with Nzw?

I think if we wanted Volkman, we wouldn’t have released him. I really like him as a playmaker, but defensively he was a big liability. Shoulder surgery won’t have helped his defence.

We're stuck with CHT as backup 7 it seems, or Metcalf, no confidence from me

You are correct there is no rumours linking him to the club. Just discussion on here.

I still put a lot of the blame on Ronald’s Manager but what the Dragons did was pretty shameful.
Just hang him out to dry.
At least we done the right thing with the surgery costs.
Hopefully Ronnie can make first grade again asap.

Great stuff of Ronald

What are peoples thoughts om re signing him. It seems likely his Manager caused the kerfuffle. Good Half with a good boot. We could do a lot worse.

Would be a handy enough back up and probably reasonably priced as well

His pathway seemed pretty blocked too didnt it? He was the understudy half last season yet when it came to crunch time when SJ had his Achilles issues late in the season for crunch games, Webster went for Walker.

Could you imagine the ensuing storm if we did?

Released him (allegedly broken)
Dragons get fined for backflipping on him
We resign him.

Woolys would run out of tinfoil..

I don't see anything wrong with it.
Not sure he has the appetite for it though, seems he is salty at both sides.

You don't look for reasons to hate this club.

I think?

Yes resign him. We need a 4th half,

Played 5 NRL games. Won 3 and lost 2.

Last time I checked, adding TMM, CHT. Metcalf and Volkman equals 4. Asi is the other possibility.

Let me take a deep dive into Asi's stats I will post shortly if I think he is a contender or a pretender.

When I watched Asi play this year he looked extremely compact and proficient.


His Stats were below average
Goal Kicking a woeful 56% from 30 attempts. This was his first year as a kicker and he only did it to be a team player after Moses was injured.
His brightest spot was positional kicking over 250 metres per game.. Sounds very useful.
4 try assists in 14 games did me in though and i stopped investigating any further.

I think the correct move is for the NRL clubs to bypass him and let him go to Super League as is rumoured. There are no clubs linked to wanting him. He is 25 years old.
I realise Volkman isn't much better though - More willing to give him a shot at 22 years old for his higher cieling which no one knows yet.

I like the guy & if he was SJ's understudy this year I'd probably still be high on him for 2025 but with what has occured & our mix of halves I wouldn't be chasing him. He may have a 3W-2L record but one of those wins was in our homecoming against the hapless Tigers & in another he was hooked after 65 mins where we came back against the Sharks late

He's a halfback where most of our other dudes are 6's. Does that sway you?
