Reni is farked

[Ronnie Dobbs]

No, he could use Andersons money.

That would be very skinny for Crocker. Mainstay of QLD & Oz teams coming in on an up and comers salary - that would be a big step backwards & thats all I'm saying.

With trhe recent changes on back loading applied by the NRL, Crock would be taking a very substantial pay cut in year one, thats why I think he'll sign for one year only like Maitua & then sign on longer when you move players on bigger slaries on (Ross) next year.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

At least we didnt pay megabucks for a glorified doorstop.

Reni: injury: karma

No Dave.

But you sure as hell wanted to.

 

[PJ]

I don't think he will Ronnie.

From what I understand he was going to the UK as his body was past the rigours of NRL, and most of the clubs know it. His salary will be down and he will be looking for as long as he can get, assuming his visa falls through.

i was told that he (Crocker) was training with the bulldogs.

can anyone confirm if this is true?

New to me, though I did read somewhere in the last day or so that souffs and the dogs were ahead of the sharks after it was reported the sharks were early favourites.

I doubt it. Heaps said on talking sport today that if he plays NRL he will link with his old coach Sticky. Heaps would know if he was training with the Bullnods I reckon

BTW If you liked the antics of Nemesis in here go here and see how excited she was when she thought Reni was going to be a Rabbitoh. Too funny.

:lol::lol:

I tell ya what lads I was very wary about us signing Crocks before we lost Fraser. I thought we had far too many backrowers but now he is off to the land of Asahi I'm very keen for us to nab the loose unit

Gal, toops, reni, crocks and reecey make for the best back row rotation in the comp bar none

I also think reni or reecey are our best options for joining the pom in the centres for 09 until we sign a big name centre

I dont care how many tries he has scored in the preseason if I see Paris in the 3 or 4 this year I'll cry (like I did every Wednesday last year)

It's a tough one stuey - we are seriously lacking pace. I would have thought that reni was quicker than reece so would maybe get my nod. Either way it's a problem, it'd be nice to get a bolter from the lower grades to step up...

His body isn't that far gone. He used that line to chase 400k a year in England.

Even if he is on the down hill slope, he would still be wanting more than Frasers salary & rightly so. I reckon he'll end up at the Dogs - they still have a stack of cap space after the last two years of player losses.

Anything on talking sport is just general rumor. I have never heard Johnny Gibbs get ANY of his "mark my words" predictions right. He did spruik Storm Financial don't forget. A bloke could not be any more wrong than that.

Hope you and the fam are alright though Gibbsy. But you're still a dribbler.

gone enough to fail a medical for at least 1 NRL club..[/QUOTE]

Was he headed home?

 

[The Dodger]

look at what thommo did for our pack when he came, imagine the likes of crocker with his experience, would do wonders i reckon.

 

[carcharias]

get crocker I say .

we would be nuts to not grab him if we had the chance.
fugged knee or no fugged knee.

Great Point Dodge. As strong as our pack is already, with Crocker it would look deadset f**king dangerous! Im all for getting him!

 

[PJ]

Too gig a risk if he wants too long a contract. Thommo was great for us but what if Crocker finished the same way as Thommo i.e. packing it in early in a new season. Could cost us signing someone else from outside or keeping an existing player.

 

[Snoop Shark]

That ankle has been dodgy for some time....not good!

Have you seen him lately Snoop?

I'm a bit worried he's about to take a big risk and push the barrow too much with this injury.
