Wonder why the cowboys havent resigned Scott, didnt they let go of tronc as well?
Inu is no chance
Not sure why the club isnt doing everything in their power to get Mick Monas back here. He's a local junior, his brother plays for us. He could play hooker, halfback and 5/8. We would look very strong for 2010 with him on the roster.
Tronc is dead wood - great stats, but zero impact. We're trying to offload Webb to ESL too, but we haven't had a lot of interest.
Problem #1 is that Thurston comes off contract at the end of the year, and resigning him is the biggest priority (though re-signing Scott is a close second)
Problem #2 is that we've bought a lot of players recently on decent money - Burns and Harris last season, Tonga, Kaufusi and Manuokafoa this season, although the last two have been duds. If we are to re-sign Scott, we need to free up some money under the cap and his means we have to let some players go.
Rumour has it that the Broncos are very interested in Matt Scott also. He's got stacks of potential, and he's very young (23 I believe). Most front-rowers don't hit their peak until their late 20s. He'd be a great pickup for any club, because quality front-rowers are fairly rare these days. Cowboys have to juggle the salary cap to fit him.
He'd be a great signing for you as well - you need some muscle up front - but the tricky part would be convincing him to move to Canberra.
Mick Monaghan would be great for you guys. Campese would be playing at his peak consistently if he had an organiser to partner him in the halves, and to back him up if he isn't playing well.
