The St George Illawarra Dragons have more questions than you could poke a stick at as the clock ticks over to November 1.
The club currently have 16 players off-contract at the end of 2024 who can negotiate with rivals from today, and other questions over the future of captain Ben Hunt, who has requested a release ad-nauseum from the joint-venture.
That leaves Shane Flanagan with a tricky period ahead, but also one where he is going to be able to reshape the club as he sees fit given the number of spots available, and cash up the sleeve.
To rebuild the roster ahead of 2025, the Dragons must make a substantial play – or plays – for a number of key players who are coming off contract.
In this series, Zero Tackle examines each club’s level of play for 2025, as well as the best targets they should be pursuing beginning November 1.
