There is one bloke I think we should sign. Now I'll probably cop a lot of shit but I don't give a rats.

Ben Hannant.

Sure he is an old head but it's more or less to guide the tong fellas coming through who are not quite there. We have a bloke like prior in the ranks who drops more balls than a kings X hooker.

He will also be avaliable during that crucial origin time and I think having him on board for 2 years could be very handy for the young blokes

I'd hang on to Toops. Other than that I think you've nailed it.
I don't think it's panic stations for next year at all. The halves definitely need sorting, and some depth players for up front but that's about it IMHO.

We won't win it but, injuries not withstanding, it'll be a major improvement on this year

Toops is not getting better.

You'll be carrying Lewis next year already.

We better move quick Sopoaga is off contract, so he will test open market.

Adam Reynolds is upgrade on Robson we should be chasing him.

Masima & Sorenson both off contract showed enough yesterday to keep them for another year

Matt Duffie if is cheap worth the risk

You got Mitch Brown. You don't need Matt Duffie. He is not worth the risk.

Get a halfback, by clearing out the mob I listed, you'd have enough coin to get Ben Hunt to the club, with some spare cash to get some front and back row depth.

Yes Greggie, he is a gift that keeps giving.

I am a bit upset that good old Sparty Grunter fell off the radar. It was always an even contest between him and Soup.

I heard a whisper that Soup lost it when Biker did the Harold Holt and went swimming and never came back.

It hit the dwarf hard. I heard, now I don't know how true it is, but he did sometime in the Benny Barba Rehab Centre. The got him sorted out as best they could.

Over time we have always encouraged him because of his obivous problems, but hey, that is the type of blokes we are.

I miss Sparty and Biker.
Those two and Sups were the 3 stooges.
Never failed to get a laugh.

How old is Tupou?

I heard / read that he is only 28, when the press were discussing ASADA impact to careers.

Thought he's a few years older than that?

ways it can be worse

* club folds
* player murders somebody
* players contract Ebola, infect the nation with ebola. everybody dies.


The first two,we are in with a great chance.
The third as long as it takes out Burbs,Horsehead and Mr Taliban,no one would give a rats rectum.

Lurker rumours today

Price to be coach next year if Phlegm gets done by WADA
We are chasing A Reynolds
Takarangi not coming as we couldn't meet his asking price

Probably come up as nospam but for completeness - http://www.sportal.com.au/league/nr...umour-file---monday/xaqoks2ii4xz1wm564vzhak76


Why not promote Tony Herman ?
Reynolds has suspect hammies. Pity about Takarangi, I would have met his asking price instead of paying Lewis megabucks to play half a dozen games next year.

We need a halfback. Reynolds or Hunt would be ideal but I doubt we get either.

Taka is no loss. Still need a right centre but not much available. May need to think outside the square. Super League, qld cup or NZ rugby

I would keep Tupou. He offers skills that others don't.

Why aren't we in the market for Snake? He's a winner, has more try assists than either Hunt or Reynolds (18, ranked 4th overall) and is freakish in stopping tries. Plus, he seems to have fallen off the Origin radar.

Still a gun player by any measure.
