Rumoured Signings - 2010

[The Colonel]

Ouch, R69 will explode if that happens.

I wish Halatau would stop being linked to us

Brian Smith loves players like Halatau and Ben Rogers. ;-)

You guys only need a prop and a halfback.

Just heard it mentioned on the Radio that Gallop would register a contract for Tuqiri if someone can fit him in the cap. There is a big possibility he could turn up at a club on match payments for the remainder of the year. No one linked to him as yet for this year but Eels and Titans chasing him for next year and beyond. Apparently most NRL teams wouldn't have the cap space for him, even for 2010 and would have to move on a number of players to fit him in. I would say that if he doesn't end up playing Union OS, Tuqiri could kick off a raft of player movements as teams manipulate their roster to fit him in.

I hope Panthers look at trying to fit him in for the remainder of the season. Would definitely minimise the damage injuries have done to our backline.

Although it's our lock/front row that are suffering the most from injury. Petero and Lewis are just irreplaceable.

:crazy:
I guess the Raiders cant keep all off Carney, Croker and Vidot unfortuantly.

Don't see why not.

1. Dugan
2. Carney
3. Croker
4. Monaghan
5. Vidot

Bloody hell... that is one young, brilliant backline.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Is it just me or is it really f**ked up Lote's getting new rules made for him.

I agree completely....

.... Unless he signs with Souths for the rest of the year

 

[gorilla with a shotgun]

Don't see why not.

1. Dugan
2. Carney
3. Croker
4. Monaghan
5. Vidot

Bloody hell... that is one young, brilliant backline.

And then offers will fly at Vidot and Carney becasue they are not playin there preferred position....centre.

 

[aussies1st]

Move Monaghan to wing that is one of them sorted.

 

[mxlegend99]

I'm not too sure on those young fellas backgrounds, but isn't Carney also capable of playing in the backrow?

So you could have:
1. Dugan
2. Monaghan
3. Croker
4. Vidot
5. ?????
11./12. Carney

I might be wrong. Although I always thought that Carney was similar to Tony Williams. Able to play wing/centre/backrow.

 

[Someone]

Carney is solid, however is quite short. dont see him making it in 2nd row.

from RLW:

Phil Graham and Daniel Conn to roosters
Raiders scott logan to have talks with bulldogs
Struggling Cooper Vuna to struggling tigers.

 

[Raider_69]

Im not worried at this stage, everyone with half a brain knows Vidot is one of the best young talents in the game today, and Don Furner certainly has half a brain. If Vidot wants to stay, the club will make it happen, if he doesnt, there's nothing we can do about it

If he does leave, who ever picks him up has a future international on their hands IMHO

Raiders scott logan to have talks with bulldogs

Don't see the point in this one..

 

[Phillips]

Don't see the point in this one..

you dont? Logan is a very good player.

For Roosters, Phil Graham I kind of understand, as they need pace in the backline.

But Conn? Jeez, they have enough backrowers as it is. Unless they are signing him up as a direct replacement for Fitzgibbon...in which case, this would be pointless, as we have young guns Warea-Hargreaves and Cordner ready to step up.

i don't know if cordner is ready to step up next year as he only played 1 toyota cup game before having his jaw broken and i think jwh will play front row. But i do agree that conn would b a waste of money considering how well tom symonds has gone this year and all the anasta to lock talk

Have you watched Graham in the last three years?

 

[Deleted member 10972]

Graham went good in 2005, 2006 and 2007. Better than any of our centres anyway.

2005 - 19 games, 12 tries, 11 linebreaks
2006 - 19 games, 11 tries, 16 linebreaks
2007 - 15 games, 7 tries, 8 linebreaks

2008 he did little due to injury, and this year he has had little impact, but still, him at the age of 29 with injuries under his belt is still faster than Soliola, Aubusson and Sa. We really have no genuinely fast centres.

 

[ando4285]

i'm just hopin that graham can do half of what weyman has done. This phil graham thing has been floating around for a month or so u'd think he would have signed already

 

[Macko8]

hopefully graham does go to the roosters
will open up the door for daniel vidot,who i believe should have already made his FG debut.
