Parra looking at Luke O'Donnell

[Craig Johnston]

jeremy smith, cheaper younger and just as much aggro.

leave some money to go after kevin proctor merrin matulino fensom etc etc

and get a proper hooker

how many of those are off contract CJ??

LOD won't be available at December, no way in gods earth...

and who says we're not exploring the Blair option???

Because we've already got a bench prop on starter's salary, the most explosive prop in the comp and arguably the best young prop in the world. Add to that 3 decent prospects at Wenty and with only X dollars available, I don't think Blair would be the best fit. I believe we should get a bench prop.

Inglis also isn't the best fit seeing how we already have Tahu & Reddy, but he is a definite upgrade over Reddy and he would put more bums on seats.

The only Storm players who would fit in are Cameron "Tool" Smith and a their lesser forwards, who are probably asking for too much just because they are from Melbourne

Younger brother Kyle is better value..that is, in my opinion...

Untested at first grade, better value if you can get him in your part-time squad any higher than that is a major risk even if you pay him the minimum

 

[parra-matters]

pay him per game, if he gets suspened he's get nothing IMO.
He is also a bit injury prone.
2 years @ not more than $199,000 per year for mine.

smith and matulino are, proctor can leave if we wants to.

you know what i mean though, tamou is off contract, bodene thompson, even reece williams

ok then, well the gossip I heard is that we're targeting a wide running backrower...

I believe Jeremy Smith is still under contract despite the reports in the paper and Tamou re-signed with the Cowboys.

From Mebourne?

yeah just read that on tamou.

smith is on unders and deserves to go if gaz signs regardless,.

and on the hooker subject.....maybe degois might actually be available if danny buderus returns ??

 

[Stagger eel]

From Mebourne?

I heard Blair's name mentioned but that doesn't mean a great deal as every other club in the NRL are sitting back waiting what's happening with those blokes..

 

[parra pete]

Ryan Hoffman would be a target for the Raiders, given his dad's (Jay) background with the Club.
What a pack...Ryan Hoffman and Joel Thompson, Fensom at lock, behind Shillington, Tongue(Waddell) and TLL...

Oooops, sorry wrong forum....:lol:

 

[Craig Johnston]

blairs going to the dogs

I think we've gone through this before CJ, no chance in hell for a hooker unless atleast 1 of the 3 currently in our top 25 leave the club a year early.

just like Shane Shackleton???

I've heard that we're sweating on the Melbourne situation as to the status of 4 specific players, 3 from Melbourne and a wide running backrower from another club...

that would probably be LOD, by the looks of it..

I think you'll find that everyone's sweating on their situation.

everyone is sweating - except the bulldogs who are turning up with paper and pen :crazy:

Actually LOD is fairly new, the particular backrower I heard about actually emerged shortly after the Warriors offer for Mateo originally came out. It went away for awhile but his current club has a heap of players off-contract and is rumoured to be looking at up to 5 Storm players.

I was hoping you were talking about the same player but your last post makes that seem unlikely. I highly doubt we could sign him but we might be able to do to them what the Dogs did to us over Morts
