Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2009/2010

[natheel]

In the same column above a bit it says the sharks are chasing kk

 

[Stagger eel]

my info is that he's re-signed.

 

[Kornstar]

Ozzie & Ando are interviewing Anthony Watts from the Cowboys sometime in the next couple of days about signing for next season.

Unsure why we would want this guy? I think it was mentioned in another thread but this guy just seems to be an inch short in everything he does.

He looks willing and has all the passion in the world but he always falls short in pretty much everything he does.

I don't doubt his commitment but i don't think he would offer us anything over and above what we currently have!

Where does this leave Mitchell? Surely he deserves a shot before we give away his spot??????

I don't agree, but I suppose that is for the coach to decide.

It's an interesting move tbh.

I'd much rather be spending the money on a wide running backrower and another recking ball to bulk up our already hard-working front row.

I haven't seen much of Watts tbh but when i have it is clearly obvious he is a hard working player.

 

[yy_cheng]

why did we want robson and kingston or along time ago Drew? You just never will know

 

[hindy111]

I like watts-better than any hooker we have...Robson and MK arent great-Mitchell is un tested....I guess it aint buderus who maybe comming in..Orford hey!

 

[Parra Steve]

I'd pass on watts, good player but is he going to offer any different than say humble or mitchell will I'd rather keep humble and Mitchell

 

[parra-matters]

Humble is a keeper for sure he has a red hot go and isn't fazed by playing opposite big names.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

True. There's also no reason he can't develop into a dummy-half.

 

[Hutchy86]

hypothetically, if we snare Orford.. where does he fit in?
6. K.Keating / Mortimer
7. Orford

9. Robson

14. Mortimer / K.Keating

Watts has been a pretty exciting player for a couple of seasons now.. always looks like he could do something, but lacks the final punch. I think he'd be a gun buy.. just needs to tidy the edges, so to speak
if it is Bedsy who joins us for a year and a half then imagine the development he could offer to a bloke like Mitchell or Watts?

yeah - pretty much my thoughts too

 

[forward pass]

my info is that he's re-signed.

Well why wouldn't the club just announce it??

Watts is a handy player - bit of a grub though.

not sure, ask the club..

 

[hindy111]

watts is 23...Next year he will be 24 and at his peak.He is playing behind a busted forward pack.Ive liked him eveytime ive seen the cowboys.Better than anything we have. If we do get him thou id like to see Mitchell given a run.If he proves himself id try and release MK as he would be beyond requirements and would still have robo who could fill in....

 

[TheRam]

This question is more for you Staggs, but if anyone else knows anything, feel free to jump in.

Now that Brent Tait has broken his jaw, do you know if our club has re-approached the warriors on a possible early release of Inu, so as we can maybe lure someone like Danny Buderus (not Orford) to our club?

other than the info I received a few weeks back which apparently someone at the club has denied, I really don't know..

but if we're negotiating with Watts for next year do you really think we are going to sign another hooker this year and next?? how many do we need??

backrow is where it's at, we need a big moble wide running cannon ball...

Corey Pearson?
Sorry, he's a bowling ball.
