Scored 55 in R13 with Hunt out.
Yes he looks a good option if this plays out this week, plays the next bye too
Weekes to Sullivan?

Shouldn't even be up to the Dragons. Can't believe the NRL still let title chasing teams sign rep players on short term contracts to cheat the salary cap.
It was bullshit when TPJ signed for the Panthers to play 6 games, one of them a grand final.
It was bullshit to let Nofoaluma go to try and win a comp with the storm.
Letting Ben Hunt play for brisbane for a couple of months would be worse than both of them
Annoys me more than anything else about the comp

I wouldn't be touching any Dragons players til this is sorted.
Who's to say that it's not a Hunt/Sexton+cash swap? or some other swap that changes the Dragons set up and pushes someone out.

What if they are signing from Rugby Union? Asking for a friend...

Swap for Sexton was quoted in the Telegraph today. Also saying that Dragons will ask for Tino or Mo.

I think if they are coming early to a club they are signed with next year, that is more acceptable
The most egregious ones are when they leave a club, play somewhere for half a comp or less and then fuck off somewhere else.

Out of trades, probably a R21 trade when Dragons have had their bye. Granville > Sullivan.

Agree 100%
Maybe we should just have a draft dispersal or auction where every team when they are mathematically eliminated from the finals lets all their players be redistributed for 3-4 months
It's a serious comp integrity issue IMO
Ideally mid-season swaps should stop around the same time players outside the top 30 are allowed to play 1st grade (r11-ish I think it is?). In the very least it should be multi-year deals only. Hunt moving would be slightly more palatable if it was 2.5 years rather than 3-4 months

We don't even have one first grade team worth of talent at the moment.
Problem isn't talent, it's something else. Any other coach would be feeling the heat right now, but I guess Robbo has earned the right to coach the worst performing team relative to roster strength in the NRL due to his past successes.
Look at Roosters v Dolphins squads, even considering injuries, and tell me how those two teams are on the same competition points
Dragons only have Ben Hunt that would make a full strength Roosters starting side (and probably not for long), and they are only 3 wins behind

Trying to find similar contrary conduct charges:
Tamou called the ref incompetent, had the charge downgraded and got 1 week.
Brandon called the ref a cheating bastard and got 3 weeks.
Both plead guilty and were apologetic and that seemed to reduce the sentences.
Walsh has gone on social media defending himself, saying he was saying it was directed at Titans players (but was facing the ref and no Titans players, and his previous words "I stopped" were definitely directed at the ref).
This is Walsh's 2nd offence (seems the 2 offences in Origin don't count).
Based on this table, if he is found guilty and it is deemed a grade 2 offence, he gets 2-3 matches or if grade 3, 3-4 matches. Just a fine if deemed grade 1.
OFFENCE GRADE 1ST OFFENCE (Early plea in brackets) 2ND OFFENCE (Early plea in brackets) 3RD OFFENCE (Early plea in brackets)
Contrary Conduct 1 $1500 ($1000) $2500 ($1800) 2 matches ($3000)
2 2 matches (1) 3 matches (2) 4 matches (3)
3 3 matches (2) 4 matches (3) 5 matches (4)
