Yes please get rid of Perry, we are never going to win a premiership with him at number 8. Sign O'meley or Civoniceva and release Perry and Newton.

I don't think we need to splash money on any big name forwards. Have a look through our junior grades, dozens of rep forwards some with huge potential.

Natusch, Patterson, Tupou, Taufua and Snowden are all ready to play FG in the next year or two. Priority should be to make sure we sign them all up to long term contracts.

I agree with Mac on the gun centre - as an example, with Carmont, Franze, Tanner off contract that's at leats $300,000 to look at a centre with.

Hodges = no chance, Tate highly unlikely.

Civoniceva would be a waste of money...I'm pretty sure he's 30 this year.

Yeah thats a good thing we need a experienced forward leader, we have a ton of young guys.

I really think a tough consistent prop like Civoniceva or O'meley to lead by example every game would be invaluable.

That is true we are lacking a forward leader, but i don't think it would be wise for us to start splashing out that sort of money for a prop-forward. For the money O'Meley would be demanding, around 350 to 400 thousand, we can easily sign a quality outside back - if only Tahu didnt go to Yawnion.

Some of our juniors are gonna mature into exactly the forward we need, I agree with the calls to sign em all up. Don't waste money on a superstar forward, we need a really quality back, and a couple decent other ones.

I assume you mean that we won't win another premiership with Josh Perry in the number 8 jersey. Remember 2001?

As I stated earlier, I'd rather get a couple of outside backs for the price of O'Meley or O'Donnell, with that money we could pick up a quality centre and a young gun centre/winger. I would much prefer that.

There was an article in today's paper about Tame Tupou. The club want to sign him, however we have no money this year to do so (assuming the Broncos release him from his contract early).

The knights were after him last year because they had Carney,Gidley and Quinn going.

But he chose to stay with the broncos

Now he's playing QLD cup and he's not happy :lol: and wants a release

But the knights can't fit him under their cap now

We don't need him right now anyway. The MacDaddies are going fine, and we have Uate, Polglase and Thaiday on the fringes, with Franze still a possibility to prove himself.
