Harrison looking at options
Forgotten Kiwi international Bronson Harrison is on the lookout for a new club, with the St George Illawarra Dragons emerging as the favourite to sign the Canberra Raiders back-rower.
Harrison’s manager Sam Ayoub confirmed that his client may be on the move despite having two years remaining on his Raiders contract.
”Bronson is looking at his options and he has a few,” Ayoub said. ”I’m not going to comment on who the clubs are because it’s not fair on them. He has as much chance of being at Canberra as he does of not.”
The Dragons hope a friendship developed almost a decade ago between Harrison and another likely recruit, English international Rangi Chase, holds the key to the pair joining the club. The Herald revealed last week that a conflict between managers had stalled Chase’s return to St George Illawarra.
With significant salary cap space left heading into next season, the Dragons have targeted the pair, who played together at Wests Tigers, to bolster their squad before pre-season training resumes next month.
I think Harrison was and still is a quality back-rower. It would be a good signing for the Dragons, but they’re in some serious need to sign a quality half.
Yeah agree Riley its an on going saga with no end in sight even Scott prince is starting to look ok,lol
I am 50/50 on Prince, I’m not sure if I want the guy to say or get the hell out of Robina
Atleast we’ve got a coach and haven’t got Tim Moltzen!!!
Enough. If the comments don’t start being on topic with the article, permanent bans will start being handed out. You have been warned.
Red V is spot on.
Get rid of Blueboy & Robbed 10 11 12 from these forums Zero Tackle & your problem is solved.
We know there prime reason to post anything on this site is to rile up any dragon supporter & get their gratification fix for the day (typical troll) aka keyboard cowards! This forum minus these two is much better off!
If you know they are trolling, simply don’t respond. By feeding them, you give them encouragement to keep coming back and doing it again.
We’re more than happy to have some light hearted banter between fans but constant bickering is just not needed.
What about another option near the reply button to have the comment flagged or marked as spam, and from there if they get like 3 strikes then they’re banned from commenting for a certain amount of time. And if they keep breaking there ban then they’re banned from commenting permanently.
That’s pretty rich coming from a couple of guys that can’t take criticism of their footy teams. As soon as you make comment on their dragons they start the personal attacks. Not my fault they’re not equiped with oral cutlery.
Lol. Glad to have as a doggie supporter bluey.
oral cutlery…is that the popular choice of utensil to use on your verbal diarrohea?
seems like a case of the pot calling the kettle black – all you ever do is make disparaging comments on the team not valid criticisms and get all worked up when people take the bait
LOL!!!
“Oral cutlery???”
I suppose you do need something to cut through your shit!!
LOL LOL
Here here! Blueboy and robbed have prior form when it comes to trolling re the dragons to the point where a thread doesn’t even have to relate to the club and there on there slagging off about them and dragons supporters wouldn’t be true dragons supporters if they didn’t defend their club!
Off Topic
. Well seriously it is about time.
Anyway Branson Harrison would be a handy pickup IMO!
Any way totaly agree with West coast dragon, Bronson is a good player
Bronson YES, Rangi No!!
ohh yeah, i almost forgot – oust Doust!

Not bad,, we might actually field a top 8 side if we can get Rangi on board.
I’d have De Belin in the run on & Frizel on the Bench. Plus Cameron King in the team for sure. He is a gun & a future leader!
Prior to start and Frizell to the bench?
I don’t agree with robbed 10 11 12 comment but this ain’t a spelling bee and every team deserves there place in the nrl
Both signings would be very welcome. U don’t win man of steel awards if ur a plonker! Come home rangi
I was waiting for someone to say that he would be a great signing for any nrl mainly the dragons who need someone to fill hornbys spot which will be hard
LMFAO, here we go AGAIN..!
Atleast with those two we might have some sort of attacking game, also think Cooper should have gone last season as well!
hey joeyy are stmerge the most famous nrl club?did stmerge beat the chooks and win the first premiership in australian rugby league history in 1908 or win 20 premierships? no they did not souths are documented as the most winningest club in premierships and has had the most players that played for australia than any other club up till now.hey joeyy back to the drawing board.
john sattler, never say die and remember joeyy never say merge!!!!
Souths Premierships 20
St Merge Illawarra Socks 1*
Therefore, just one premiership ahead of Cronulla. (Sorry Sharkies)
souffffffffffffs 15,000+ days of failure
Yes they are the most famous club. You ask anyone and they will say the mighty red v dragons are the most famous club.
When souths the team that got kicked out of the comp because there useless win 11 premierships in a row come back to me lol.
When was the last time souths won a premiership,we’re you born lol…..
So next time you speak listen to what I said. I’ll say it again. Dragons are the most famous club. I didn’t say they won the most premierships kid.
Why are the Raiders letting Bronson go
. He is a good player.
hey redv imbecile is spelt this way not the way you spelt it,can you spell stmerge?

17.VIDOT (MOVED TO THE FORWARDS)
18th Man: KING (SO MUCH POTENTIAL)
I’m all fired out! Go the Saints!
Fired have to agree with you re vidot I posted a while back that now he has bulked up quite a bit since he arrived that his size and power would be better suited to the forwards!
need king in the 17.
Vidot would be super similar to the way Tony Williams plays, just on a smaller scale of destruction. The Back-row would suit him perfectly.
IMO Harrison would be a good buy. I would also have Stockwell coming off the bench. I think he will do well over the coming years. Bring on 2013. I can’t wait…
Leeson Ah Mah played strongly at the back end of the season, so theres another strong foward… what happens with Matt Prior?? He’s hot n cold IMO
Red v, LOL mprior would be lucky to make the cutters team
Don’t rate Harrison. Wouldn’t mind mateo though..!
Mateo would be an interesting fit to the side. Don’t think we will leave NZ.
he…
Bexley Dragon, Hearing parra and saints are interested though he stated that he would like to finish his career at parra
I guess so, especially now that Stuart is coach. That’s the other problem for us we need a coach that can attract players. Thanks agrothedragon…..P.S. i may know you. Are you THE Agro? ie MD
Bexley Dragon, Might be..!
Bexley Dragon, Might not..!
agrothedragon, just one more thing and i won’t bother you about this again. If you are who i think you are then just look at the canvas painting of the Dragons logo and remember who gave it to you. Cheers,
FMD… That’s the first thing people see when the front door opens, still my baby to this day was given to me all those years ago by a fellow dragons tragic..
LOL. The only thing i can say is Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
We struggled this yr and nearly squeeked into the 8. If we attack a little better next yr and have a fit horse firing then we should make the 8 comfortably.
Rubbish signing, this guy is close to useless these days. Dragons are in big trouble.
We are in for a tough couple of years.The last thing I want to hear every week, is we didn’t play dragons footy today
I think his best years are over. St George are full of overpaid and overated forwards like merrin, hunt, creagh and weyman. Overall the best 17 is a competitive squad but will have no direction from coaching staff or ceo.
Saints will have to wait until 2014 to improve their roster chase and harrison will add little to the squad if bought.
PS Daniel Vidot sux as a player how could anyone put him in a team.
He is a terrific player when he wants to play but he hardly had a good for the past two seasons might be a risk of signing, they should be going for rangi imo.

Why would you want Beale at fullback and Soward at 5/8?
harrison was a damaging ball runner out wide few years back now cant even get into raiders starting team absolute dud buy
Hey Zero Tackle if you were to get rid of all the people who make “most of the time” bagging comments of other people’s teams (like Blueballs) then you would’nt have any chat/banter on this site. Just concentrate more on the racism and swearing ok. As much as i think Blueballs and Robbed etc etc are total tossers they do give me quite a laugh every now and then with their comedian like comments. Can Bronson play in the halves???? No!!!! So why are we looking at him Mr Doust?????
Just looked up harrison stats. One try in 2012. Great buy Douay, another over paid, under performing player. Come on, let’s buy some real potential. may aswell keep marketto and turn him into a gun player!
Are you serious? 1 Try? Honestly who cares as long he can tackle he is not a 1-7.

Heres the team i thought the Dragons would field . Merrin to the back row and more mins and Fien @ 7 with King on the bench . Could still be the 17 if they don’t get Harrison/Chase .
Harrison would surely be a better option than Prior, I don’t know what he has got over the selectors but it must be pretty good!
the tides are turning a ,dragqueens out of the 8 with a pretty weak team sharkies in the 8 with a gun squad!!! yew so keen for 2013

hey blackwhite&blue have the sharks ever won a premiership lol…..

doggies
!!!
go the doggies id rather watch a fun team than the dragqueens who make u fall asleep :/ boring!!!!
hey joeyy souths are known as the pride of the league with more premierships and more rep players who played for australia than any other team in australian rugby league history facts are facts joeyy.Maybe the broncos think they are the most famous club in rugby league in fact the broncos have won 6 premierships and stmerge have only won 1 premiership ive been a souths fan for over 50 years.
st george have had 16 why would a merge effect the count dumbest thing i’ve ever heard.
Souths are also the team that has won the most comps without having to win a grand final, and won the most comps with less than 10 teams in it ! Also, they win a comp because balmain didn’t turn up !
Saints have won the most grand finals !
Anyway, on topic, having Bronson in our squad couldn’t hurt us !
hey joeyy who do you follow the steelers of wollongong or the dragons of kogarah?
My Saints team (provided we get Chase and Harrison)
1. Beale (backup Cummins and Goodwin)
2. Morris
5. Nightingale
(Back up wingers from Chase Stanley, Vidot, Cummins Goodwin)
3. Vidot
4. Cooper
(Back up centres from both Stanleys, Nathan Green, Beale, Goodwin)
6. Soward
7. Chase
(Backup halves; K.Stanley, Fien, Drinkwater)
8. Hunt
10.Merrin
( Vea, Stockwell, De Belin, Miller as backups)
11. Harrison
12. Creagh
13. De Belin
(Back up second rowers: Ah Mau, Miller, Vea, Frizell)
Interchange
14. King (hooker, five eighth and backrow)
15. Weyman (front row)
16. Prior (who can play centres and prop)
17. Matthews (can play anywhere in the pack)
hey joeyy souths are the most famous club with 20 premierships and souths have had the most players represent and play for australia than any other club stmerge who?
blueboy for prime minister
1.Beale,2.Morris,3.cStanley,4.Cooper,5.Nightingale,6.Chase,7.Drinkwater,8.Hunt,9.Rein,10.Weyman,11.Harrison,12.Creagh(C),13.Prior,14.Frizell,15.Fien,16.Ah mau,17.Vidot ,18.DeBellin@@Cummins,kStanley and possibly cStanley wont be up to nrl fitness levels expected for Nrl season start so I expect Chase to 7 and kStanley to 6.Saw Vidot 2weeks ago,while every player is getting fat he looks better and bigger.Has to be used up front.Cummins will be the new big thing when given his chance but quite a complex op will slow him.King will emerge to replace Fien.
stgeorge dragons and the illawarra steelers which team do their fans follow?the answer is stmerge lol
hey joeyy i follow the south sydney rabbitohs from redfern where is your team from again?
No it’s not just tries that matter but they are definitely a big thing, after all without points on the board there is no winner. Just an example of stats
Bronson Harrison
Games 23
Points 4
Tries 1
Try assists 2
Line breaks 1
Off loads 22
All runs 195
Kicks in play 4
Compared to a great player with 3less games
Jeremy Smith
Games 20
points 16
Tries 4
Try assists 2
Line breaks 6
Off loads 8
All runs 201
Kicks in play 1
Now IM not sure on tackles in defence but Smith is a great defender.
smiths stats are heaps better than Harrison and that’s only one player in the same position. Obviously if we do buy him, I will back him and hope for the best. I just don’tthink it’s a smart buy.
hey chucky cheese read the rugby league statistics stgeorge dragons have ceased as a single club, in their past history they had won 15 premierships,but since merging with the illawarra steelers from the illawarra of wollongong a new club name was formed called stgeorgeillawarra with 1 premiership win.Ask the nrl if you cant read 1 win for stmerge champ!
hey johnsattler ill say it again. the dragons are the most famous club. when you win 11 premierships in a row. have 3 immortals and recentley win a comp come back to me.
BTW what’s happening with Goodwin? Is he still on contract or did he get inured again?
Vidot to forwards is a good move. He’s a strong unit and quick. Should have used him there last year to plug the holes.
What’s with all the trolls with nothing useful to contribute. Sharks and Rabbits fans have got no right to be smug about anything. Have a look at the rabbits roster this year and they were woeful in the finals. No one cares if you made the top eight if you don’t win.
