The dragons have officially signed Luciano Leilua to a 3 year $2.7 million dollar contract

Lawrie, Liddle, Molo
Leilua, Sua
De Belin
That’s a heck of a forward pack.

How many of them would you start ahead of our likely starting pack.

Thats far too much for him.
He's far from elite and might maybe make five or six teams best 13.

 

[WA Warrior]

Well considering I believe we have one of the best packs in the comp I can only think of both Sua and Leilua over Ford.
De Belin and Tohu would be close but I would still have Tohu.
All of that doesn’t changed the fact they have a very well balanced tough forward pack imo.

Your just not scared of them though! They have no flair!

 

[Cces]

Considering Molo literally killed a bloke as a result of a tackle I sure as hell would be scared if he was in the opposition!

Meh, wouldn't even be in my top 8.

 

[Wrighty]

Meh, wouldn't even be in my top 8.

De Belin has not regained his previous heights since returning to the NRL. He is average now. Once was amazing,

 

[Worried2Death]

I wouldn't be standing in front of him, just wave him through like a paddle guy at the airport.

Nah, most of that forward pack played last year and nearly won a spoon.

Faaaark imagine being the Dragons fans when you think you're signing AFB for 1.1 mil and end up with Luciano for 900k. Flanno been shopping on AliExpress lol

 

[Wrighty]

On December 22 it was officially confirmed AFB would be going to the Sharks in 2025.
It is now Feb 21 and we have not landed his replacement. Can't even get BHU across the line who seemed like he wanted to stay in Cronulla in the last article I read.

If I'm honest, I feel a little insulted that BHU hasn't accepted this contract.

Motherfu*ker, you're going to get paid more, play in a better team with a better coach who will make you look better than you've ever been.

How long is an offer on the table for? If I was the Warriors I'd take it back.

Unless we're in the cooling off period with a signed contract in which case let's all welcome the next immortal front rower...

They don't have the motor bar maybe debellend

I'm sure AFB, Barnett Niukore are shaking in thier boots!

That was my trademark tackling style at school.

I have said it before about Molo. He is still too reckless at times, same as NAS, JWH and Latrell who don’t change because they are given soft charges and sentences.

 

[Bevosa]

Boooo

 

[nzwarriorsfaithful]

Boooo

Thank god

 

[Bevosa]

Thank god

If Webby wanted him, it's a booo from me.

 

[Billyspleen75]

All good. CG mentioned they will be patient.

On to the next one.
