I heard Michael Crocker is still without a club since his visa was refused stopping him from going to England.

Please sign him Anderson! We should have a bit of cash in this years cap with Finch leaving and really need a player like him. Plenty of fire and passion he is just what we need.

Croker has 2 bad knees and does not believe he is up to a season of NRL.That is why he has not signed anywhere.

Finch was payed out his entire contract for the season. No spare money this year, well not for a Mick Crocker anyway. From what's been reported he really wants to go to the UK and is waiting for the results of the appeal to decide anything, and training with Melbourne just to keep his fitness up.

the new boards first decision should be to sign him up. at least he will bring a bit of mongral to our pack, which is sadly missing at the moment.

F**k the new board. It's the coaches decision who we should sign and re-sign. Do you want the new leagues club board to start selecting the weekly teams too?

It's not just the coaches decision as the financial side of things also has to be taken in to account, in order to prevent breaching the cap etc

You are 100% correct. But the coach must have the first say as to who we retain, release, or recruit. It's not simply a matter of the leagues club board deciding 'we'll sign mick crocker' which is what I would object to.

yeah, board would not be near player signings, nor should they be.....mixed messages above regarding if we do indeed have cash for someone like croker....also bit confused about call of crokers kness being busted but thinks he's up for Uk footy....but agree if it's possible they need to go for it
