St George Illawarra have suffered a devastating setback as they look to rebuild the club after five-eighth Junior Amone was found guilty on Wednesday morning of assault charges, leaving him facing jail time and casting doubt on his immediate future in the NRL.
Amone and his father Talatau fronted court on Wednesday morning where a verdict was rendered in relation to an incident that occurred late last year in Wollongong. Amone will remain on bail until December, when he will be sentenced.
Amone was initially stood down under the no-fault stand-down policy when he was charged earlier this year but the NRL lifted the ban before the season began and he went on to make 19 appearances for the Dragons this season.
He was set to be a pivotal piece of the club’s planned revival under coach Shane Flanagan but any plans the Dragons had for Amone are now in disarray.
MORE TO COME

Dragons’ $5m mega deal to lure Roosters superstar with positional switch — Transfer Whispers
Am I the only one that thinks talking this openly about a player on another team is a little bit fucked? It's one thing for Wayne to have been doing it last year, because they were an upstart, and y'know, it is the greatest coach of all time- it is another thing for Flanagan and the Dragons.
Also, am I wrong in thinking that Flanagan has already said Temu Joey Manu/Lomax is getting the first crack at FB next year? Wouldn't exactly fill him with confidence having his coach already planning a replacement before the season starts..

Lomax wants to play 5/8.
Wasnt the Warriors guilty of exactly the same thing last time around with Manu?

I didn't think Cam George or Nathan Brown had come out talking about Manu at all? at least not like that. Obviously, there were reports getting out on a near-daily basis, but I don't think they addressed that head on.
If they did, I'd be surprised if it was any more than the usual- a reporter saying "Are you guys chasing X player" and X coach saying "He is a great player that any club would be lucky to have" sort of thing.
Idk, while I do like more transparency and Flanagan was spitting facts, I just think it was kind of full-on lol

If all these teams are setting up programmes in NZ, surely that tells the NRL we need a second team here!

‘Pull my head in’: Why Flanagan is giving little away on spare millions at Dragons
St George Illawarra have half an NRL roster to fill for 2025, millions in cash to do it and even more scope to hit the player market after in-house contract developments this week.

Typical dragons fans, we could have sent them Donald Duck for all they know.
All these rival nrl clubs must be running out of catchment areas to harvest our players from, where's this dragons academy based, Dunedin?

These teams setting up academies here will mean we will need to have our act together in terms of development. Winning will help as kids will want to be a Warrior.
It will be good for the sport here in that more money will be invested.
Hopefully it means more kids stay in New Zealand. It's been a while since I've seen an article on the number of kids leaving NZ for Australia to try and make it in the NRL. It was pretty staggering. I can understand as it also means more opportunities for their families as well. In some instances it will be kids moving over there by themselves. So having more here in NZ with their family and support networks would be good.
