I hope one is a utility,plays half,5/8th and hooker equally as bad,dabbles at fullback and centre as well.

 

[blackandwhite]

Yeah ..But Can they headbutt the ball over the deadball line ?

If Fitzfumble plays for Western Suburbs does that mean the fWo are invading Campbelltown every other week?

 

[gronkathon]

They might alternate on the non dole weeks to keep the income flowing to the cest pool

Yes and one who runs around in circles and breaks 3 tackles for a 5 metre gain infield... They are welcome to have 1 each.

I read somewhere that Josh Lewis was returning to Qld.

Its very hard to tell the NSW Cup squads at present as the main WT NRL squad has 42 players listed- naturally the majority will spend most of their time in the NSW Cup / U20 sides. I woudl suggest some of the players recruited such as John Lewis, Ryan Carr etc who had hopes of making the NRL squad and didnt would be on the look out for opportunity elsewhere. Lewis already gone.

both Luke Young and Nathan Waters have signed with Wenty.

Nathan is staying and will be the Magpies Captain again in 2010. Brendan his little bro has gone to Wenty.

Wests have retained Waters, Everingham, Stolk, Rysko, Davis, Pritchard, Poaneki, and perhaps one other (but blowed if I can remember who). Nu will come back to us if not in Firsts as will our other juniors who've moved from the 20's to Firsts.

We've bought Alex Ranieri from Shellharbour, Andrew Pearn from Windsor, and James Sharky from Qld Cup. Ben Falcone looks like he has come over from Balmain as well. There are others trialling with the squad that have really impressed as well so we're pretty confident for 2010.

Alex Ranieri was a highly rated prop at the dragons.

He played 2 first grade trials in 2008 but then did his knee in the last one and was ruled out for the year. he would have played first grade that year (was ahead of dan hunt in the pecking order)

unfortunately this year was plagued by injuries aswell.

a change of clubs might be the thing he needs. he is a big unit and goes very hard. if he stays injury free and we have a front row injury crisis (just for something new) it wouldnt surprise me if he is in line for a first grade spot.

thanks mate, sorry for the mix up, what can you tell me about young Brendan?

 

[yappy]

Dangerous with the ball in his hand, quick and elusive.

He is still taking things a little slowly with his knee, but he's got a great attitude and the club is very happy to have him. With him Stolky, Pearn and Duan we are looking to have good size up front, but also good mobility.
