Sean Long would be a great buy for your club. He is off contract at St Helens this year and at 32 has three good years left in him I believe. Very smart player, tough and has a brilliant kicking and passing game. He would give quality ball to Hayne and Inu. It is atough year for you guys I know but don't think for a second the knights will take you lightly next sunday. I won't be. Good luck.

Sean Long is too old. His kicking game is not that good. From what I see of him, he is alot like Brett Finch. We need better then that. I wouldnt mind Rob Burrow or James Roby though. But I doubt the ESL clubs would lose them. Isnt Rob Burrow being chased by St Helens to replace Sean Long?

If true I would focus on Myles, Shackelton and O'Meley. Is Lima still unsigned for next year ?

I also saw Matt Bell play recently. He goes OK.

Cant say I am surprised, and not overly disappointed. I will be if we dont get anyone! O'Meley, Shack and Bell would be great acquisitions.

Manu would be a fantastic get, especially now Poore is staying in Wollongong, the shame is though whoever Paz get you will have to pay overs

nothing set in stone yet between poore and the dragons
parra could put in a late bid. but manu would be a great
signing aswell but i dnt see him leavin the storm.

No please no late bid. A late bid would mean an extra 100K a year... enough already!!

No use paying overs for players if they don't want to leave. Spend the money on two or maybe three players who want to come to the club.

read today that the Dragons negotiations with Poore have been put on hold until after Origin. And article also mentioned asking price has changed since he now is an Origin player. Somehow dragons also extended Morris's deal. Go figure. Another handy accountant maybe.

We can release all the players we like - someone still has to accept the terms of the release and take them off our hands. As it is Cordoba is one of a few who are OFF CONTRACT.

Outside of the Roosters shopping around O'Meley. Myles, Shackleton and Matt Scott.

Personally I'd be chasing Matt Scott and Shackleton for the money we are offering Poore. If not there are plenty of lower grade props with experience that would be a step up from the players we currently have for a third of the price. They don't need to be big names. They just need to be able to play.
