I heard that we're negotiating with a contracted roosters player, but it ain't Anasta..

If you think so but does that mean you have hindy on the edges, because he doesnt do well there or do you then move him to prop and have Anasta at lock? The most lodgical thing would to have Anasta at 5-8. He is more a 5-8 then Sutton, Mateo or Bird so that would be his best position if he were to be in a team like ours.

He would do our team better at lock with Ben Smith and Hindy at second row he can defend wherever he wants but in attack get closer to the ball..

But i would have Humble start the season at 6....

just because Brian Smith gave him the #11 doeasn't mean he played in the second row - we should know what Brian is like and the tricks he likes to play.

Watch a replay of the game. Anasta played on left hand edge as a wide running backrower

he would be good for our kicking game much like Barrett but he isnt an organiser and that is what we need IMO

^This......it smells of desperation since the club has been jilted at the alter so many times this year by other halves.

That is intresting, it would probably be someone on the outer you would assume. I dont know who is contracted but i could assume it might be Friend or Aubusson (hooker), Symonds or Jones

Stags, there was an article in weekes paper suggesting roosters has given Phil Graham permission to negotiate - would that be closer to the mark?

Sam perrett would be one I'd be happy with too. Our dummy half running fro
outside backs has been woeful. We need some speed and power, and we certainly need depth.

This Anasta rumour is interesting, would love to have him.

Staggs, is there any chance this outside back is playing first-grade right now for the Roosters? Is he a good dummy-half runner?

Phil Graham? I hope not.

Kane Linnett is the one I wouldn't mind getting, I think he has a real future at centre.

yep..Phil Graham.

I didn't know he actually had permission but I do know we're interested after Jono accepted less to go to the dogs.

I also hear we've still got a stack load of money to spend and Ox is still a priority.

Kane Linnett is probably the reason why Graham has apparently been given permission to negotiate, you'd have to be insane to let a kid like him go...it just won't happen.

Ah, Phil Graham.
Well, his try-scoring record speaks for itself.
Another player like Jordan Atkins that scores a lot of tries?
Maybe we really are looking for more 'strike weapons' in outside backs that naturally find the line....

Thanks mate. Improving our depth would be as good to me as signing more first-graders :)

well I think there's still quite alot of holes to fill in the squad and I believe that they want 2 outside backs and a half...

Do you mean aside from Atkins and Graham or are those two going to fill those spots?
As for halfbacks, someone said a short while ago we also signed Cameron Bruest??
Thanks mate for the updates.

I'm sure the kid from Canberra is a half who will be playing NYC...
