Dragons are trying to lure Dylan Napa from the Roosters

[Thirteen]

Needs to improve his play the ball. Last year v Sharks I managed a toilet break and a bar stop during one of his play the balls. Anyway, with him playing for a big money contract, he should go gang busters this year.

It all comes down to who can be easily replaced doesnt it lads?

I'm a Napa fan, however i'd be confident that with Meehan and Evans in the wings we could cover his loss in short time. We can afford to cut him loose if necessary.

Tupou's are a dime a dozen - not just Mcdonald in the wings, but other tall and fast islanders too. We can afford to cut him loose if necessary.

SKD is the sentimental pick. I still think he would be very good value sub 300K, but would not match offers above that. With ferg the perv in the backline, we would sadly have to cut him loose if necessary.

In my opinion RTS is a unique talent with no ready replacement, full stop. There is no one else like him in the comp, even though he has plenty of maturing to do.

Maloney is critical - top of the line goalkeeper and holerunner, great partner to pearce and good talker on the field. Once again, no ready replacement.

I'm not that confident RTS will be with us long term.

Many decisions loom large for coach Robinson.

Steak I think you have wrapped it up nicely.

I'm not that confident RTS will be with us long term.

Unless he gets a massive offer from another NRL club in Australia, or if he doesn't play fullback here and he is offered that spot somewhere else, I think the only real threat to him staying is an offer from the Warriors or a rugby union contract in NZ. The issue is, is how a big a threat that really could be. He often refers to Auckland as home and he may be itching to get back there.

[Vasco]

Rugby is a big threat.

[stephenj]

probably having a great time with his family and friends in Auckland this weekend?

[bondi-boy]

If he wants to go...let him go.
Wish him luck as we wave him goodbye.

[roosterproud]

why would nap leave a team like us for the fagons. what matters as a player. WINNING. stay with a team that has proved that we have the ability to win another gf , or go and dress up like a piggybank for a bank and have more money but less rings. rings is what its all about.

[Thirteen]

I think very few players would stay if substantially more money was on offer elsewhere.

Napa is the future. We must keep him.
I'd keep him and Evans over Moa and Kennedy.

I think RTS and Napa who our club have spent a lot of time nurturing through the grades will re-sign.

Especially Roger. Surely he hasn't reached all his goals at our club. I want to see him dominate at FB from the next decade.

I love Dylan Napa's intimidating style but for mine he wasn't making enough metres last year. If he can improve this aspect of his game it would be painful to see him play at another club.

Remember the salary cap is also increasing until 2017.
