Beauty. We have had too many failed Dragons imports and don't need more!
Props!

B Lawrence and D Lussick would look good in the red and blue

Welp, cross Lawrence off the list. Seven News has reported he's signing with the titans
Hopefully to replace agnatius passi and he comes to us.

Why oh why more reggies players nunnsy?
He will be 27 next season and has played only 50 games. A good prop should be well over the 100 mark at that age.

While I agree an experienced prop would be awesome for our young forwards, someone at that age (33) would need to be a Matt Scott/James Graham calibre player to warrant a year or 2 contract. Not a plotter like Lillyman, he barely scrapes into the Warriors side.

Paasi would be 26 next season. It took him 2 years after Toyota Cup to crack first-grade but he played 18 games in 2015, 25 in 2016 and has 7 this year for the Tits.
A good prop doesn't become a good prop until their late 20's, regardless of how many first-grade games. He is almost ripe for the picking I think.
Have you seen the guy play? He's no reggie. Was about the best player at the 9's in 2016 and can wreak havoc carrying the ball forward. He would give us the impact and size we desperately need off the bench.
Average 104m a game 2016
106m a game 2017, if he signed with us he would be our second best prop. Stats are not everything but his also fast for a prop, has a good offload.

What we need is a leader tho. Is he going to provide the leadership
Probably not but still would be a great addition to our pack, ideally would have D safiti starting with a Graham, tolman ect and have esse, passi, safiti on bench for impact.

This isn't true anymore. David Klemmer says hi. So does Jason Taumalolo. Tamou and Snowdens best years were in mid-20s. Plenty more.
I actually think the speed and violence of the game these days means good forwards are wrecked by 30.
Paasi is a good player. We don't have many skilful forwards other than Barnett, and he does plenty of dumb stuff to go with the good.

With Dan regularly punching well above his a bloody good prop already. People seem to forget that.

He's also getting close to 50 games at the age of 21. He already looked done for a large part of the year before a second wind hit him. He shouldn't have to do so much at a young age, he'll break down if we don't give him some help.

Most likely frustrated with the way he has been treated, browny keeps saying were lacking experience and he cant get any game time.

Boy 555- correct me if I am wrong but the 2 aged props you are promoting have both had neck issues, which is not ideal in any situation.
Lilly man is tough, not fancy but will still bruise the middle of any opposition and definitely give our young props an indication of which direction to run- add to that a few quick PTB with our nippy players can't be all bad.
A change of club also can see a change of role , which can give forwards a rebirth- Melbourne are a prime example of how to maximise the under-utilised .
