yep..read it in the telegraph today or maby the Sun Herald..not sure wich one. if some one can copy paste it for me that'd be suave!
But basically says that 4 knights players including Josh Perry are on notice and it relys on there form and on the situation on Andrew Johns if he retires and free's up that money that we can go for them!!

Interesting ill admit i dont think we have a coowee chance of getting either cause its late in the cause..but was waiting for Smith to start looking for outside players!!

Another reason for josh to pick up his game..but he hasnt done that in 4 years...he's runnig out of time!

It's true

It said that Smith talked to O'Meley back in feb this year ....but they are going to wait on
1.the form of a few props
2.Joeys decision

It wasn't a hoax column. All it said was that Smith had made contact with O'Meley's manager a number of weeks ago to enquire about O'Meley, but he has had no contact since. You'd have to think that both O'Meley and O'Donnell will be well and truly signed up by the time Joey gives us an answer over his future at the club.

lol righto no worries...though its not as if we need backrowers atm (O'Donnell), wouldn't mind O'Meley if we could get our hands on him though!

Yes exactly, both of them will be signed, sealed and delivered by the time we know what Joey is doing (and anyone else we might cut this year)

1. Get rid of Reynoldson, sign O'Donnell
2. Get rid of Perry, sign O'Meley
3. Use Joey's money (highly doubtful he'll play on), sign a couple of decent outside backs
4. Win premiership next 3 years in a row :)

I dont rate O'Donnell that much and I dont think we need another backrower. Unless we can straight swap Reynoldsons pay for O'Donnell.

O'Meley would be ok, but if we use Johns' money towards him I wont be that happy.

You don't rate a current NSW and Aus back rower? :-s
Imagine a backrow of
11. Simmo
12. O'Donnell
13. Abes

That's up there with, if not THE, strongest backrow in the comp

Agree with every thing you have on your list HOWEVER
Reyno is on about 250k I don't think we would give LOD for that.
O'Meley is asking about 400k, I don't know what Perry is on. I wouldn't mind if we could get Shrek for 300-350k even then that still steep.

Totally agree with #3 on your list though we need some quality backs!
I will say it again Tame Tupou would be a good pickup and I think we would get him cheap.

I'm not too fussed about whether we sign O'Donell or not, we have a lot of second rowers atm and is probably our position where we hold the most depth.

O'Meley on the other hand would probably be a good buy, I would be concerned if our backline lost any more experience though because I would rather sign a quality outside back and maybe an up-and-coming instead of blowing all that on O'Meley when we have Wooly, Tolar and White in such good form.

I rate him, but maybe not as high as most others. And for what he'd be asking I dont think he'd be worth it.

If we can get 2005 Newton back we definitely wont need him.

I'd rather sign 2 decent younger props then 1 Mark O'meley. And i'd rather use the money we would spend on O'donell to resign some younger players or sign some decent back, Tupou would be a good buy.

Hmm... firstly I wouldnt buy O'meley. At first I was thinking yeah good buy but I think he isnt wortht the money. I would much rather buy some other quality backs or younger front rowers for the money as others have mentioned.

With LOD, I mean quality over quanity please. Who cares if we have many backrowers at the club already, LOD is better no doubt. LOD is one of the best back rowers in the game, I would sign him without 2nd glance.

Lastly, I hope Josh does pick up his act. Would hate to lose him...
