Confirmed Signings - 2010

[Non Terminator]

I wonder if they're still cut about Finch?
lol

 

[Raider_69]

did us a favour i think, not in our 17, hasnt played FG in nearly a year, coming off a horrific injury which could result in him never being the same player again.
Carney was reportably asking for 200k, if it wasnt someone else paying overs for him, we probably would have

Fetuli Talanoa resigned with Souths for a further 3 years
Junior Vai Vai has extended for 1 year

I was worried we would lose Fetuli. He knocked back a couple of reasonable offers to stay with Souths. I know for a fact that both the Cowboys and Warriors offered him a decent upgarde in coin to change sides.

So he must be on a fair bit of coin then.

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Surprisingly not. I think It's more a matter of him being settled in Sydney. Didn't want to move.

The Cowboys have signed Ryan Williamson from Souths Mackay (he was previously with the Roosters).

[Chook Herron]

Someone did mention it, but why did the Roosters release this guy again?

 

[Patorick]

He ordered something other than a skim latte at a Bondi coffee shop one morning, breaking one of the club rules and earning himself an immediate and justified release.

But seriously, no idea.

 

[Non Terminator]

From what I remember, he wanted to go back home.

 

[Big Pete]

Yeah, basically.

Would be an awesome buy for the Cows if they can make something out of him.

WATTS NEW

The Sydney Roosters have followed up the announcement they have signed Canberra's Justin Carney with confirmation they have also secured North Queensland utility Anthony Watts. Watts's manager Sam Ayoub yesterday said Watts, who has been in strong form for a poorly performing side, had agreed to a three-year deal with the Roosters. Watts's signature may spell the end of James Aubusson's stint with the club. With Jake Friend and now Watts on the club's books, and fellow hooker Aubusson off contract at the end of the season, the club is unlikely to re-sign the latter.

If Dugan comes along too, the Roosters will have one hell of a core to build around for years to come:

1. Dugan

6. Carney
7. Pearce

9. Friend

14. Watts

 

[Didgi]

*9. Watts

14. Friend.

As far as I know, Watts was bought as an impact player.

Friend is pointless to have on the bench, as he doesn't offer any impact. He is a tough defender with good ball skills. Common sense will prevail if Friend starts and gets through the dirty work, with Watts coming on and wreaking havoc. Could always have them both on late in the game too.

mmm...sounds like what the Storm were saying about some of their players over the last couple of years.

How I loathe this gay sh*tty saying...

[Chook Herron]

He's thinking about spending next year suspended

Still a year to go on his current deal.
