Ben Ross

[Since 73]

I feel like I owe the club and the supporters something more.

You don't paid when repyaing a debt so he's obviously playing for nix.

Our club is a joke. Who else would touch this bloke?

f**king no-one.

 

[cb4]

Has the club even confirmed the Pom signing?

No.

 

[azzah72]

Happy with Ross if it incentive based.

I know he genuinely wants to make it up to the sharks for his previous stint.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Has the club even confirmed the Pom signing?

From the mouth of the horse.
2 years.

 

[SadShark]

He was one of Souths best this year I thought.

IMO, he'll be better for season 2011 under his belt & might end up our best front rower next year.

 

[Frenzy.]

Geese just thinking late at night.

If we get Ross, and we have Jon Green, and we have Gibbsy and we have Fifita, and we have ??? and we have ???

Just Wow right now.

Night all.

Add Taufua to the mix

Seems like the strategy to replace Doug and Snow is to take the quantitative approach

So the mouth says yes yet the arse says no

Yeah he might

He's got loads to beat to get that honour............

Wonder if the NYC props have been signed.

when denials were put in place it could have been true.
as most of the suits were off last week I reckon you can guarantee it (Pom is signed)

 

[Since 73]

He saw 21 specialists.
The first 20 told him not to play anymore.

If we are the social barometer of the NRL and can't go 100 metres near Todd Carney and sack anybody who farts, don't we have a duty of care to tell this bloke to get on with another occupation for the sake of his wife and future kids.

 

[SadShark]

If I were B Ross, I'd learn to CAD draw, get interested in the ASX, get my fitness training accreditation or look at a job with the NRL.

More chance of getting injured on the field than to play in traffic on the F3.

I was talking to a few people in the know at the NSW cup today. We got Ross REAL cheap and if it doesn't work out, we lose nothing. If he plays like he did this year, it will be a huge addition to our squad in terms of ROI.

Despite everyone on here thinking the contrary, the football department recognize the lack of centers and wingers in the club as a big problem and are taking steps to address it. Plenty of time til kick off 2012. If some of the stuff I was hearing today comes off, we will be happy.

 

[Ausguy]

Sounds interesting Newms...

but i doubt Gaz will cross the bridge

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Wel we missed Niko, LAwton, & a host of other centre signings already.
We must target chisolm, Luke Kelly & the other storm fringe players who have not got a shot all year.

anyone please.
i couldn't stand another year of bumble brain in the centres.

What happened with Niko Reef, did he re-sign?
Wouldn't touch Chisolm, probably just blood our young players and hopefully raid the market place for 2013.

 

[cb4]

Also, I thought Kayne Lawton was a hooker/half back?

Wide of the mark. We are chasing players of higher quality than that.

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Wide of the mark. We are chasing players of higher quality than that.

But we won't get them. Our best hope is to get guys looking for a chance. Chisholm, Luke Kelly, Vidot, Sione Kite, Isaac John, etc etc.
Guys like Tongia, Linnett, Morris, Champion, MAtai, Bird, Douglas, Snowden, & even Kane LAwton, have all over looked us & probably will continue to do so.
& if we are looking at better quality than Niko, then I would really like to see their names. Israel folaus might cut it as better quality.

 

[newman]

But we won't get them.

We wont get all of them. We will get some. We have money to throw around and there are only so many spots in the NRL in Sydney.
