I'd be very surprised if we don't recruit another hooker from somewhere.

Other players currently on our roster are backups only at this stage.

Now that the season is over, re-signing and recruiting would have to be our top priority.

Also, if a player is 'left hanging' (i.e. Cook), he may come to us for less $$$.
On him, wasn't one of the issues that Souffs would not release him?

Word is Souths won't release him.

He's on 200k.

We have offered 300k per season and obviously to be No. 1 hooker at our Club.

Starling and Williams have apparently signed.

Club looking for 1 or 2 more props. Souths still refusing to release Cook.

He's their player fair enough.

But to stand in the way of players opportunity to be the no. 1 hooker at an NRL club is very mean spirited after they sign the current NSW hooker for 2 years.

Yet Pissflap said in his interview with The Parrot that they were trying to do deals with Taga and Heino.

I note CB4 said "apparently"for Starling and Williams. Surely if they have signed they get announced very soon. Nothing left to stop announcements.

I guess that the club would hold off from announcements until the excitement dies down from the grand final win, and they might wait for players to return from end of season trips etc to be physically present for any announcements.

Heighnos time is up.
He was bought to do a job.
He did it.
We have juiced that orange.

Dumb to think the same side will meet the same success. Great sides evolve to stay fresh and defend their titles.
We are now the hunted.
Fresher legs required.
Hunger required.

Hopefully knights offer him enough that he cant say no and flanno doesnt have to make a call that upsets the harmony...but in professional sport thats what is very often whats required.

What's that feeling(. That's right it's a premiership!!!

Keep Taga. Who is the third prop if he goes?

Starling is OK as a backup but Taga is better than him.

Bunnies are telling Cook he won't get released, now McInnes is gone they want him as a back up to Farah.
