So has Trent dropped his price, have the Dragons suddenly got some spare cap, or is this all just rubbish again?

I think its rubbish, they were saying this all last season and nothing came about. I'd imagine Leeds will be asking for hefty price since he missed the deadline to leave if they are interested.

There was as been said a timeline for him to get a new deal ,but nevertheless these kind of stories are not ideal

I've said on a few occasions but I think these rumours will surround Merrin until he either goes home or retires at Leeds...

They were around before he arrived then all the way through last year and the start of the off season. We've had a month off from them and they're back again.

Saw something earlier about NQ Cowboys considering releasing Jake Granville to free up some cap for Lattrell Mitchell. Don't watch any NRL but if that was the case, would we be getting a good enough improvement on what we have to justify an overseas spot if we were to look to reinvest Merrin's salary should it come to it?

So as things stand.
We have a coach that said he didn't want the job and many believe he shouldn't have it.
No Assistant coach.
Possibly no captain
And we've only signed two players for next season.
Been an exciting off season NOT

Do you really believe this will be the situation at the start of the 2020 season? Show some patience.

Showing more patience means getting left behind again.

The season ended over two months ago. We are now well into pre-season. The player and coach in and outs should have been sorted well in advance of pre-season to ensure pre-season training is as effective as possible given the shambolic past few years.

We are nearly in December without an assistant coach, possibly without a captain are still at least 2-3 signings short.

Totally agree. As it stands we don't look good at all. A good settled pre season is absolutely key.
