MATTHEW JONES LEAVES THE DRAGONS

http://newportgwentdragons.com/newsarticle.aspx?n=20285

Looks like the clear out has already started.

Bit gutted by this to be honest. He wasn't too bad a stand in, but the most important thing was he connected with us supporters. Probably the best at doing that, bar Brewy probably. It's always a shame when a player leaves before getting to say goodbye too.

Good that he has got a club and I wish him all the best.

He seemed like a pretty handy deputy to me the couple of times I've watched the Dragons ths season against Exe and Glasgow? Not the finished article, but defo something that could be developed?

Awful player, so here is a big ta-ra to Matt who was some other regions reject. Hopefully that is the last of them to come our way now and I also hope a few more rejects will be packing their bags by the time the season is up!

Released with immediate effect Any more to this story ?

Tovey is probably going to the Blues so it looks like Steffan Jones is going to be first choice then.
Unless they try and bring in a more experienced player. I can't see many good players being interested in going to the Dragons though.

Edwards said that Jone's last game for the Dragons was his last chance to impress before hid contract was up. He's been released with immediate effect because Bristol are on a big recruitment drive to help with promotion.

Oops, I got my Joneses confused - I thought this was Steffan! Never heard of Matthew then ...

Tovey off to the blues. Brew possibly off to france, Willis retired,hall retired, Clarteris going to perp, castle to leave...going to be an interesting time at the Dragons..and another loooong season I fear!

Brew or Tovey leaving is massive, both of em leaving is a fupping nightmare.
