This weeks big league reveals Mickey paea is in talks with the bulldogs, who are looking to cut John Kite, Charlie leaeno and Lee Te Maari of their books.

I think this would be a loss for us. Sure, we have plenty of big fellas coming through, but Mickey sure does pack a hit when he lines someone up.....

They should just get Leano to do cardio day in day out. Big & strong, but was no iron man. I wonder where he'll end up.

It's been a long time since Big League has been a reliable source of goss. But he does fit the profile of a Dogs target, ie former Dragon, and with the immaculate off-field record they claim to be after.

If they offload those players they'd definitely have enough cash to beat our offer. But it wouldn't be a smart move for him. Our group of props are stronger as a whole, but their top two are safe. He'd be in front of Hickey and Armit but stuck behind Hannant and Hodgson. Whereas at Saints he'd be behind Weyman but competing with Hunt, Greenfield, Saffy and Merrin for that number two slot.

We have Green, Thorby and Ranieri off contract but I'd imagine the latter two would be second tier

The amusing thing is a few pages back in the mag is a quote from the Dogs recruiter Mulholland saying they are "more concerned with the retention of guys we've got"

I wont be looking for a tall building if he goes. Would be great to keep him. But not at any price. If he can get a better deal good luck to him. I dont think Benny brought him here for nothing though.

Hope not. I really like the guy. I'd hate to see him become dog paea. They would probably sign Winnie the Poo next.

If this news is true I don't follow the reasoning. Didn't we just sign Michael Greenfield from the Bunnies, why not keep Mickey? Maybe Greenfield comes on the cheap & Mickey can command more elsewhere. Hope he stays. :pray:

I hope we don't lose him, he's a good player and is just starting to show his potential. f**k I'm sick of the Dogs taking players from us :(.

To me, this would be a way bigger loss than Chase, I cant see the value with chase, IMO he is a lazy defender no urgency.

Mick on the other hand, very handy footballer has impact every time he gets on.
