Dunbar 6,146 Report post Posted October 20 Discipline is a problem for the Dragons and so they sign the most penalised player in the NRL in James Maloney and follow it up with Joel Tomkins. That should sort it. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Denton Rovers RLFC 990 Report post Posted October 21 Absolutely shocking signing, I was hoping it was going to say ... JT gets battered down some club for being a ######, needless to say I'm disappointed it didn't. Are Catalans that desperate, you'd think there'd be someone better for less or is he just going on the cheap and cos his bruv is there? The mind boggles tbh!

I think they bought him in to keep Sam Happy. As Sam and Maloney are their Main Men. Will say with no Gigot its a very different Dragons now. For me he was their main guy In the backs and had a huge game in the CCF in 18. A era ends. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Prendle 1,642 Report post Posted October 21 The guy obviously has some problems he needs to deal with, and it's good to see that posters on here are fair-minded about it. There have been plenty of posts supporting players who may have mental health issues, but now it's Joel Tomkins, it seems to be fair game to hope he gets battered in a club rather than getting some treatment. Rugby League supporters are becoming tiresome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know for certain, but his behaviour doesn't exactly indicate a well balanced individual does it? If I recall correctly, the release on his exit from KR stated that he had some things he needed to "deal with", so who knows. I'm not going to ask him to produce a doctor's note, but on the other hand I am not going to wish for him to get his head kicked in either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clogiron 1,349 Report post Posted October 21 Was it his stellar season as Captain of the Robin's that persuaded them! or is it because he's Samkins brother. MacBanana must believe he's man to turn their underachieving, penalty laden pack around, and who are we to question his magnificent coaching record Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice. Let's hope he doesn't have anything to worry about then. If he does, he certainly can't count on any help or sympathy from the usual gang of hypocrites around here.
