Further to Sloan, he is not the first choice FB. It would be Ramsey. Only a trial but Sloan played really terrible (to the point he was crying) and I'm sure Hook is considering just putting a safer option back there ASAP.

I could indeed be wrong about the relative job security of the 2.
I just got the feeling Perham was on slightly shaky ground - that could be fan sentiment and not anything from the coaching staff.

Also in your favour. Ciraldo probably has the better job security of the 2 coaches, and is more likely to stick with a long term plan. Hook may feel th eneed to shake things up if the Dragons don't start well.

Neither fill me with supreme confidence, but suspect I'll run with at least 1 of them for price reasons.

Another guy just over $300k who might be worth a look is Junior Tupou. $319k at the tigers and a possibility of taking Maumalolo's wing spot.

Fantasy-wise perhaps not as much value as other options, but as a Tigers fan I'd be keen to see him given a chance

Ramsay has also been ruled out for the season due to illness.

Sounds pretty bad for Cody and I hope he's doing OK, but he's no threat to Sloan's position

I don't think that Sean Russell costs less than $300k (my arbitrary cut off point) if you are wondering why I didn't do a write up of him
