Hey farkers, I own a Proton Satria GTi. In general most of their cars are sh1t, but this one has a Mitsubishi engine (very reliable) and is widely regarded as the best car they built, it now has somewhat of a cult following. It's a great car to drive and has Lotus tuned suspension, so it handles like its on rails. I wouldn't touch any of the new ones though.
Ok, back to the football. Letting Hodgson go should only be done if we buy a proper half. Surely they don't want Luke Lewis in the halves, FFS? Hodgo practically plays five-eighth in attack anyway, as Morris is f**king useless. Letting Hodgson go without a halves replacement would be suicidal.
I'd take both Lewis and Rooney for the backline, they've both played Origin before, so there is talent there. Then again, so has O'Hara and look how that turned out. But IMO they would both be pretty handy players for us.
Youngquest is one that caught my eye earlier in the season. He used to play in the centres and was widely regarded as a turnstyle in defence, but on the wing he was quite good this year. Pace to burn, good support player and a fantastic goalkicker. At a cheap price, I'd sign him.
We need a half, it's that simple. If Flanagan doesn't want to play in the halves I'd let him go and use him as a bargaining chip. Sad, but the reality is he won't play hooker here as long as we have Farah.
I've mentioned Mathew Head before, apparently he won't get a look in at the Dragons in 08. I know he's injury prone, and had his fair share of troubles getting on the field, but so were Prince, Hodgson, Richards before we signed them. Head is an organiser and has an excellent kicking game, when in form IMO he is one of the better halves in the comp. I'd definately be inquiring about his services.
