Dragons unfortunately having to pay overs to get any fresh talent to the club. I’m not sure they even know what they need anymore

"St George Illawarra’s successful pursuit of Luciano Leilua won’t hinder their ability to secure his former North Queensland teammates Heilum Luki or Kulikefu Finefeuiaki.

The Dragons have landed Leilua on an immediate three-year deal with St George Illawarra paying the back rower an average of less than $700,000 per season. The Dragons baulked at his original price tag of $900,000 each year for the next four seasons but maintained their eagerness to sign the St George junior.

The Cowboys have already paid four months of his deal this year and will contribute to his contract again next year.

Leilua was off-contract at the end of next season with the Dragons adding an extra 12 months to his contract."


I don't think it's a bad deal for a bottom tabled team needing a second rower.

He's pretty fortunate to be moving clubs now. I think that 90% of the time he'd get much less. But with the cap rise and another team joining last year, player salaries are ridiculous.

On last year's form, Leilua is the far better acquisition!
The fat guy who played for the cowboys came from the tigers? Are we talking about that guy?
Hes not worth an NRL contract would rather develop your own kid then go out and pay 700K for him.

He will always be diamonds and rocks like his brother. Never consistent efforts for long periods

Definitely a dragon or tigers move. And people were blowing their load for Flange to be our coach. His major acquisitions are RFM, Flange Jnr and now Farsi leuilua. Thank goodness we have Gus.

Yes Gus won’t be a quick fix. But with all these shorter term deals and with 6 million coming off the cap in 2 years you have to think Gus is playing chess while everyone else is thinking we are playing Chequers. Just imagine with a 2 year head start what he and the board and coach are planning wow.
