Suli off to Illawarra

[Snake]

well he (Bird) was a few years ago ,but regardless where would they play Suli and or Bird together in that back line ,given they have got some youth comeing thru from what I hear.
I don't really rate Bird tbh ,I still would like to see if Suli can string a few weeks and wins together for us before we let him go .It would be good to see Suli on the end of a Tommy play and see the wreckage left of the other team .I mean we have put alot of time and effort into him when he was younger and now he starting to mature a bit (hopefully) bottom feeders like the goons are all over him ,makes me sick

Bird is not going to be enough to stop the Dragons chasing Suli because he has been very average. Not to mention he has lost a heap of speed and he didn't have enough to begin with so a move to an edge is probably where he'll end up. He'll bulk up over the off-season and only be used as depth at centre.

It appears that Suli was already released before the performance the other night so a good game last week and 1-2 in the weeks to come, are too late by the looks of things.

I agree and reckon Bird is lucky to be holding down a first grade gig the way he has played this season

Shows where the Dragons are at.

It’s a pity I guess as much as I like Parker it would be nice to have a wrecking ball like Suli in the back line , but that has to be weighed up against his consistency and the defence which if iam honest are not his strong points

There is a pretty strong consensus here that Sili is going.

All speculation based on desperate dragoons fan chatter.

Although snake is usually on the money

Has played 2RF for half of it hasn't he?

Mostly Centre and a few at FB but he isn't quick enough to be a long term option in either position.

He has played a couple of games as an edge backrower recently as well.

Yep, 4 in Backrow, 13 at Centre and 2 at FB.

Zorba on BSB this morning, Suli deal with the Drags almost done but Manly want a fee as pay back for the $50K we had to pay them for Saab, and it will be more than $50K as we are happy to keep him

They are cashed up and desperate

Desperate...being the key word.

Soon they will be cash poor @manlyfan76 but still desperate.

Some of Parker’s defence last night reminded me why I’m glad we are keeping the red head and letting Suli go.
It’s not just Parker’s tackles on his opposition centre that are important, I noticed he is very good at coming in to assist with tackles made by other players. There was an occasion last night where Foran was exposed one on one and looked half beaten and Parker just came in and went bang! The play was promptly shut down.

Zorbs also said Koala and Christian Tippy Toes are the centres of the future and said if you think Saab is quick wait till you see Koala

Sounds like we can relieve them of some of their cash
