Rumoured/Confirmed Signings 2009/2010

[CrazyEel]

If Watts wasn't an improvement on what we already have, Anderson wouldn't be talking to him. We have absolutely no spark out of dummy half what so ever. I can only imagine Watts taking the ball out of dummy half after a Mannah surge and fast play the ball. We have one of the slowest attacks in the league

True that, Watts would be a huge improvement on what we currently have IMO.

If we could gett watts for no more than 130K id be happy with that.....
He runs rings on MK and robson.

Mate, seriously, you have massive problems.

good input.
IMO the only difference between Watts, Robson & Keating ATM the is that Watts is more aggressive. He wouldn't improve the passing or kicking out of dummy half enough to warrant taking on 4 hookers for 2011

 

[Suitman]

enough to warrant taking on 4 hookers for 2011

The last person to take on 4 hookers was Tiger Woods.

Tiger Woods to Parra?

Has as much credibility as Orford to Parra.

from what I saw last night, O'Donnell and Watts were their better players and funnily enough both have been linked to the club in recent weeks..

I can definitely live with both at the club.

Less O;Donnell, Watts and Orford rumours and more Sika Manu rumours please.

Fine - my mail is he's heading to Manly.

 

[84 Baby]

I heard a rumour that he is the Stig

 

[Delboy]

Ummm, intersting he is headed to the beaches... are they not complaining they do not have the room to sign Hodko etc., yet they are there for Sika Manu

Well we apparently didn't have room to match Warriors offer to Mateo but have been linked to Inglis

I think it was more the case of not wanting to match the Warriors offer..

......and were to Thurston.

Watts is a really talented player,im a big fan.

Bit like Pj Marsh in that he is quick, good passer, can tackle & and has fire. Parra lack a fiery player that can give it back !

If we can get Watts then we will be hard to beat.

That's what I was hinting at with Manly/Hodkinson/Manu. Maybe they don't have the money to afford Hodko... or maybe they only want to offer him up to a certain amount. Just cause media quotes that a club can't sign player A because they are close to the salary cap isn't necessarily accurate. Could just be a cop out to shift an unwanted player

 

[Delboy]

When was the last time Manly did not keep a player they wanted, some argument re Menzies but he was at the end of his career.

I would argue that Manly never really made the effort to keep him..I reckon in about 90% of time Manly will get their recruit while they very rarely (if any) lose a player that they want to keep..

Spoke to a mate of mine who is a long time member of the Cowboys. Told me that Watts has agreed to terms with Parra however he is under contract with them for 2011 but their is a release clause in his contract. (Do not know in which favour). He also tells me that there is constant player disharmony at the Cowboys with coach, Henry. He may be on the way out. ;-)
