Read in RLW that Michael OLDFIELD has signed for 2016--from Catalans!!

When he was with Manly he was regarded,along with Brett Stewart,as being the quickest in the club.He was also rated one of the fastest in the NRL.
He also plays centre & f/b as well as wing!

He is only 24 years too doyen, some people saying he's a good pick-up others not so gracious.

maybe he will be better now that he has more experience. i remember he was very quick and he is pretty tall too, which could help under the high ball. he might just be signed on the nrl minimum wage as a backup player anyway. if he goes well, he could be in the first grade side. if not, norths. . .

24. Wow!

I thought he was 28.

Maybe he will be better than I first thought.

Still I think he's a fringe first grader.

He's played 24 games for Manly, 1 game for the Roosters and 18 games for the Catalans.

Rabbitohs favourites to poach under-20’s star Brian Kelly from Titans

THE Titans have secured one of the game’s best young halves in Ash Taylor but are about to lose one of the best young outside backs.

The South Sydney Rabbitohs are close to poaching Gold Coast under-20’s star Brian Kelly who has been earmarked as a future New South Wales Blues player.
Kelly hasn’t signed yet but the Rabbitohs are favoured to snatch him from the clutches of the Titans who viewed him as starter in their 2016 team.
The Titans can’t compete with South Sydney’s offer as their salary cap and stack of backs on large money continues to harm their rebuilding efforts.
ROOKIE NO. 7: Elgey fuming at own display
The Titans already have outside backs on large contracts that are burdening their salary cap and it makes it difficult to upgrade a talent like Kelly who at this stage is only potential.
Taylor has been granted a release from Brisbane because the club believes he is ready to start for an NRL team and it would harm the 20-year-old’s career if they stockpiled him.
He has not put pen to paper with the Titans yet but his other suitor Manly have pulled out of the race.
He will combine with Kane Elgey in the halves next year, a partnership with a combined 42-years of life experience.
Kelly helped New South Wales inflict defeat on Queensland’s under-20’s team in the curtain raiser to the Origin decider earlier this month.
The Blues won 32-16 at Suncorp Stadium as Kelly starred in front of a plethora of NRL scouts who began immediately checking their salary cap position.
The Ballina-raised back and is a cousin of former Titan Albert and current Titan James Roberts.
Kelly is one of several Titans juniors with legitimate star potential.
The club has the best crop of youngsters at its disposal since their introduction to the competition when they had the likes of Chris Sandow, Kevin Gordon and David Mead running around.
They still have two Australian schoolboys in their ranks with David Fauid and Tyronne Roberts-Davis.
The Titans are also close to signing Super League standout Zeb Taia.

Brian "Bud" KELLY will be 20 yrs on 20th May,2016.

He is an indigenous centre/winger--he scored 4 tries in the Under 20's SOO in July for NSW whilst playing on the wing.

He is 182 cms tall & weighs 92 kgs.A junior from Ballina.

Does anybody know where Goolagong is playing at present??
He had good raps on him but haven't heard much regards his progress.

we dont need mroe backs.

i think we need two intimidating forwards.

that ken maumaulo from warriors plays as a winger.

i think transitioning him to the second row will be great.

micheal maguire can do a chris mcqueen to him.

we still havent been able to replace burgess and teo with the similar type of mould.

weve got ben lowe coming on yeh his work rate is high however does he make a dent in the opposition does he scare them wen he there running at him NOOOO

we need 2 players/forwards. similar to the mould of teo and burgess.
