Confirmed Signings - 2012/13

[Kiwi]

Hindmarsh not rated anymore?

Thaiday, Creagh, Gillett, Glenn, Johnson T Sims, Ellis, Lafranchi, Minichello, Proctor, Blair, Stewart, Watmough, Taylor, Picker, Learoyd Lahrs, Miles, to name a few are all better second rowers than Hindmarsh is now.

 

[gronkathon]

Apparently Sharks have resigned Pomeory for 2 season.

Hahahaha

Did Flanno catch genius from Sticky or what?

From the SMH:

:?

Phil Graham = Firepower?

We were lacking a 30 year old winger, wouldn't be looking at the spoon if they'd signed him this year.

Thaiday, Creagh, Stewart, Blair,Watmough and Myles are debatable. They bring things to the table but overall are about the same. As for Johnson he is a lock, TLL is a prop.

Gillett, Sims and Glenn are good young kids but haven't had the questions put to them in the bigger games and until they do they aren't and shouldn't be considered.

As for Minichiello, Picker and Laffranchi don't make me laugh, Minichiello is lucky to be is a bench quality player and Picker is being left out for Danny Galea. Laffranchi is good for the fantasy team but not much impact otherwise.

Can't blame Hindy for the losing trot, he still probably saves more tries than all the above combined. Although I don't think he is enjoying the captaincy.

sika manu has them all covered... he really doesn't get any acknowledgements at all

 

[Allstar Knights]

Thaiday, Creagh, Gillett, Glenn, Johnson T Sims, Ellis, Lafranchi, Minichello, Proctor, Blair, Stewart, Watmough, Taylor, Picker, Learoyd Lahrs, Miles, to name a few are all better second rowers than Hindmarsh is now.

Needs more Zeb Taia

Will Tupou -> Western Force

[Charlie124]

Good luck to the kid, he was always going to be down the pecking order for next season anyway and apparently he has grown up playing union so its no great loss for the club.

All the best, Will.

Oh according to Shane Flanagan Pomeroy hasn't been resigned and he doesn't know why it's all over the media.

 

[Apey]

You have Presto's contract being extended but also as him retiring.

Two year deal, his manager is quoted as saying he hopes "Hayne stays at five-eighth".

 

[851]

You have Presto's contract being extended but also as him retiring.

That is because that is how it happened,he re-signed then a month later retired.

 

[Panther_Daz]

Also in that story, Aillaomai off to Roosters.

Bittersweet. But only slightly bitter.

Farewell Cam, keep providing the luls at Penrith.

[RHCP]

Purtell must have freed up a lot of cash, Ciraldo is a readymade replacement.
