I had a chat to someone who is part of the coaching staff at another club and had a little bit to do with Reni Maitua and he reckons he will be a better player than he was before he was suspended.

I'm not sure why so many people are annoyed with our recruitment. We have bought sh*tloads of experience. Casey McGuire has played over 200 games of top level league including 2 Origins. Carl Webb has played 180+ top level games including 15 Origins and 1Test for Australia. If we get Chris Walker, he has 150 top level games plus 6 Origins.
All 3 are looking for a chance to kick-start their respective careers, so should be hungry for an opportunity.
And then if we happen to snag Orford... Even better!
I guess it's because we have such an old squad already, and all we do is keep signing 30 year olds... If you break it down we've got Hindy, Fui, Shacks, Matua, Burt, Grothe, Tahu, Robson, McGuire, Webb, and possibly Walker who will be 29+ next year. Experience yes, but a squad needs to be balanced with the right level of youth.
And Boxy, can you please post your latest update again. I missed out and can't be bothered going back one page.

For those that missed Staggs' earlier post by the way, we are still a chance at Orford, there's a whisper we may sign Chris Walker, and that's about it.

Thats nothing more than an opinion. Wouldnt read to much into it.

There's obviously not much going on in the rumour business, so boxy has been busy confirming posts and stamping out non existent controversy.
Love your work boxy. Could you also please clear up the hot debate about whether steve Kearney will be the next coach?
Well, there was never any question regarding his skill, definitely a class player.Thats nothing more than an opinion. Wouldnt read to much into it.
Twitter is saying Chris Walker is pretty much confirmed.. maybe Stagger was right?
