Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2009/2010

[Joshuatheeel]

It was mentioned in a local paper ( I am from the Illawarra) a few months back that K. Hunt was aparently seen with a local real estate agent looking at properties in Wollongong. Gee if it is true St George must have some great book-keepers, good luck to them

Tigers backrower Rocky Trimachi is another player apparently linked to us.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Cordoba to the Dragons ? I have made this up, but gee Bennett has a way of helping players reach their potential. Dragons may now be looking for a front rower with NRL experience, Cordoba would be very cheap plus the added bonus of allowing him to move home.

Tigers backrower Rocky Trimachi is another player apparently linked to us.

well he is small (185cm and 93kg) for a backrower and has a played only a handfull of game in 4 years. I have not seen him play at all but his stats don't lead to think he has a high work rate and has been in and out of the team since 06 (out for most of the time). 22 years old, he isn't going to grow much more and I don't see him as a smart buy with guys like Horo, Robenson, Lewis in wenty and then some good jnr backrowers coming through.

 

[Stagger eel]

on the three players you mentioned I'm prett sure Horo has been made an offer, Robo is signed and Lewis will be let go.

How does Robinson go ? do you reckon he has a future the NRL ?

he's a bit like his brother actually, a good attitude and work ethic who's been used as a lock lately,

he still has a long way to go but he's being closely monitored by the coaching staff.

 

[murraymob]

do parra have enough under the cap for a major signing or a few minor signings

I agree, is very much like his brother but probably runs the ball more and is a bit more skillfull and a bit faster. He could easily move into the backline if needed he is very fast for a backrower and im surprised he hasn't been used yet... wouldn't let anyone down.

Well i just looked in all 4 of my Parra caps and they all say made in China

[AlexTheEel]

When were we linked to Matt King?

well it is a rumours thread ;-)..and I've heard his name mentioned in a couple of conversations.

 

[AlexTheEel]

I guess you can say that they've been tossed up from anyone at some time or another.

 

[AlexTheEel]

I notice Cuthbertson isnt on the list. Has his name been dismissed?

We have also been linked to David Williams. I would rather sign him up and play him at centre then Brett Delaney.
