LATEST NEW'S 6

Hi guy's, made my usual midweek phone call to find out the latest regarding player Signing's.Now Mighty Tiger had posted player's of WT that have'nt been signed yet.Those player's are Mears,Moodie,Covell,Viane,Heighnington,Kerr,Buettner and Senter.Well I can tell you now that this is'nt our major priority at the moment as Sheen's want's to see who we can secure within the next couple of week's with the cheque book.
Tim Sheens has spoken to Joel monaghan this week and has made him a generous offer as the Raider's have given him permission to talk,Joel has told Sheens that his main priority is first of all being in the centre's and secondly joining a club that will further enhance his carrer as far as representing is concerned.Sheen's has told Monoghan that the main position's in the team that are crucial for success are No.9,7,6,1.
He said we have Hodgo(ex-origin)Marshall(on the rise)and Prince(origin)he said that he will be either grooming Ben Galea to be super fit and slot into the No.9 and if that does'nt work we will look at purchasing the likes of Michael Ennis who is a great hooker who is 20 year's old from Newcastle who is only kept out of first grade by Buderus.
Joel said he would definetly get back to him either way.
It looks certain that Senter,Mear's,Buettner will not be in the Black,white 'n'gold of WT next year which I think is expected.
We will also be talking to Steve Price when the oppurtunity comes but we are'nt hopefull at this stage and we will still try and get Wiki.
Chris Beatie was mentioned to Sheen's and this is what he had to say about Beatie "BEATIE#*%+$@&&(|?"
Pritchard was sweet talked before we could approach him and as they say the rest is history.
I told my source today with what has happened over the last fortnight why don't we get 4 origin quality player's and give us hope.
His word's were "We will never be in a position to go out and buy 4 origin player's,all we can do is hope that we can hang on to our current crop and buy the occasional first grader here and there".
Which i responded "what about these 2 NRL standard player's you told me we would have by year's end" He said "The year has'nt ended yet, Max"
Thank's guy's and gal's hope this info help's. MAX.

Good stuff max, nice goss on Monaghan, Galea as a hooker hey? And Farah as our second it seems. Im not surprised we havent got that much money available, after all we're not one of the big clubs.

So Farah doesn't have a future at the club ??

Monah's will be useless unless we get go forward.

Price is the priority. Wiki i doubt we could get.

Then a class centre = monas..

\\:D/ THANKS MAX :clap:

I think we are in with a top shot @ getting Wiki! Not only has he been coached by Sheens but Sheens actually brought him over from NZ. However if Wiki comes I'd like us to release Sattler

Monas and Wiki have NOT been granted permission to talk to other clubs. Don't believe everything you read.

Dream on about Ruben. If he goes anywhere it will be to Wigan for the fat cheque.

Did they decide against deferring other players payments to try and keep Wiki?

I think they realise that it still paints you into a corner financially for the next few seasons, and it's not something we can afford to do.

He's been offered $250k/year for 3 years.

If that's not enough then thanks for the memories.

Supposedly Wigan was offering twice that...I guess we'll find out in the next few days.

I`ve said it many times before and i`ll say it again,the only player we could realistically buy who`d enhance the team is CARL WEBB!

i agree totally!!!

price is a good forward who plays well in good teams.

we need someone who can inspire an average pack.

i think the only one on the market who has the potential to do that is carl webb.

please, please let us sign him.

some good news their.. at least we are trying to be active in the market..
price won't leave the dogs.. but no harm in testing the water..
monaghan would be a good aquisition.. but if he wants to play centre whose position does he take? push fitzy out to the wings :roll:
carl webb would be a good buy.. if fit he can be damaging and exactly what we need.. but no one has said we have spoken to him.. plus he chose to stay in the qld cup rather then go to another team..
tomorrow it's open slather let's see who we can get..

I agree, and what a shame Webb is wasting his career with the feeder club when he could be a star with us.

I`m 99% certain Webb would come here,given a half decent offer!I reckon given the predicament he`s in,that about $150,000-$180,000 would get him!

If Sheens has spoken to Monas about dollars then hthere has been an infringement of the rules.

This is fiction.

If he leaves Canberra, it will be for Manly or the Roosters.
