Intersting to read that the Dragons are drifting for the flag next year as Gaz has been earmarked as specialist five eighth for the run on side.
Personally i think this a poor move as Gaz will be bashed from pillar to post and his added size in the centres allowed him to be a force.
Bet the Dragons are ruing handing Holdsworth to the Dogs for free now.
Add this switch for one of the best centres of recent times to the loss of youngster Clint Greenshields, Barrett, and Bailey along with young centre Millard also to Dogs then the Dragons are looking bit thin for mine.
We all know what a great breeding ground for talent the Illawarra is but just like the Eels and to a lesser extent over the years the Dogs and the Roosters, clubs just cannot continue to lose quality as the Dragons have done this off season.
Maybe Woolford may be an option in the 6 as Head when fit can take the 9, who knows, but i certainly wont be shedding any tears for the red and whites in 07.
With Greenshields, Gorrel, Head and Hornby the Dragons had great depth and versatility but with Greenshields, Millard and Gorrel gone from StGeorge their depth in the backs has seemingly evaporated. Wes Naiqama no certainty to play either.
Anoother note.
Looks like Lote Tuqiri and Matty Rogers may be back where they belong in the NRL with Rogers a very big shot of koining the Titans in 07, and big Lote also jaded with Ra RA and himting of switching back.
Broncos are already sniffing from what ive read to get the big fella back to Brizneyland.
As a Doggies fan the likelihood of both Williams and Omeley leaving at end of 07 is shattering news.
I mean how many 1st graders players have the Doggies lost in the past 3 5 years.
Asotasi, Myles, Feeney, Vagana, Talau, Anasta, Price, Grimaldi, Harris.
Question from me is have the Doggies spread too much pf their salary cap amongst 3 players in Mason, Williams and Tonga cos it is certainly starting to look that way to me.
I will spew if Williams cost the club Price , Asotasi, Myles and eventually O Meley only to P off to England for even bigger bucks!!
The guy is a superstar but having only Mason and Williams is not a threat, i woulda preferred to have kept Asotasi , Price and Myles, as 3 very good players are much more useful than one gun.
