2007 Confirmed Signings

[melon....]

Mark Edmonson - St.Helens to Roosters. The only confirmation thus far is from a SMH article where his current coach acknowledges he is coming to Bondi, which I guess is a semi-confirmation. Probably wont be announced by Easts until Tommy Smith's mate is also signed.

Both Norrie and Youngquest are very good bargain signings for the Panthers. Norrie has always impressed when given the opportunity in 1st grade but when you have Australian Frontrowers in Ryles and Bailey infront of you, the chances just don't come along. As we also have Poore, Sims and Henderson, Norrie needed to go elsewhere to get a run.

Most Dragons Supporters thought that Youngquest should have been in the team from Rd 1 but Best got his chance and hasn't stopped scoring tries since. I think he might have actually injured himself in the Charity Shield which ruled him out of rd 1 otherwise he could have been in 1st grade all year.

Matt Petersen to GC for 2007 on a 2 year deal. Still no idea where he'll be next year though.

Robert Tanielu (Norths Devils) - Cowboys
Leigh Coghill (Easts Tigers) - Cowboys

Good signings, 2 young props with potential.

Also

Mark Henry (Central Comets) - Cowboys
Scott Smith (Souths-Logan Magpies) Cowboys

Mark Henry is an awesome utility back and i think Scott Smith is a good young halfback, should be good signings aswell.

Mark Henry Will debut next year for Cowboys, no doubt about it he has been playing in a demoralised Comets side who other than him there only good player is Herewini Rangi, Henry is a exciting propect who i rate VERY highly expect him to play somewhere in the backs next season.
