Luke O'Donnell is looking to move back to Sydney. He has indicated that the cowboys are going to have to come up huge for his signature.
The eels nearly bought O'Donnell a few years back but it fell through... obviously money will be the problem.

Mateo...or O'Donnell? I know who I'd take.

I have no idea. A score of 0.5 out of a possible 8. Could I have got it more wrong ? :lol::lol:

The correct answers would have been:

Finish: 12th, Biggest competition: St George. Player of the year: Hayne, Disappointment: Mortimer, Surprise: Horo, First Rookie: Was it Lasalo ? Signings: Carl Webb and Reni, Goings: Cayless, KK, Mateo and Inu

Ouch. I think it's too hard to narrow down which was the biggest disappointment exactly, I don't think anyone could have predicted that. Horo made his debut in round 2 or 3 I think which would make him the first, Lasalo actually made his debut the year before same game as Morts.
