Rumoured targets 2

[Big Tim]

Cant hurt to have more halves than "needed".

Stig should be on the radar.

Fairfax was reporting that we were interested in Grothe before Sharks got him.

Here was me thinking that fairfax was a more credible news source than the telegraph..

Seems like a decent depth signing.

Interesting that he's been told Tyrone is being moved to hooker.

If Minto and Dobson are battling it out for half, and Roberts is moving to hooker, what do we do with Gidley?

That doesn't sound right at all. Roberts half, Gidley hooker. Dobson and Minto depth.

 

[Burwood]

We need two hookers. Gidley starting and Roberts from the bench might be the option. Not sure where that leaves Clydsdale however?

 

[Knight Vision]

if true it looks like Gids is on the outer and back to being a super sub. Might even prolong his career. How old is this Minto kid ?

Mullo and Roberts should be the halves pairing come round 1.

Dobson and Minto replace Stig and Davis who AFAIK haven't been re-signed for next year.

I think we will see Waddell in the side early in the season with Gidley sharing the hooker role unfortunately..

Massive alright, Was loving the Tyrone and Mullo combo.

Who the hell is Minto? :?

 

[Frederick]

Wait, never mind, just read the article

 

[Johns Magic]

6. Mullen
7. Dobson

I think that's what we'll have this season. Hooker has to be split between Tyrone and Gids.

How much longer is Gidley's contract?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

2014 and 2015...... He'll end up a cripple the way his going!

 

[Frederick]

I wonder if Wayne is going to nudge him towards early retirement

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Can't be good for his post playing life injury upon injury one would think.

Half a million bucks per year for a player who has barely played a good game since 2009. Unless he sets the world on fire playing hooker in 2014, then it is safe to say that we paid massive overs!

 

[Jono078]

I don't have anything to add to this, but surely we'd be looking at a front rower to replace the recently sacked Russell Packer?

Anyone decent out there?

 

[perverse]

There's nothing out there unless we can make a deal with another club somewhere. My guess would be pick up a fringey to get us through this year and roll Packers contract into our war chest for the 2015 free agents. I think our biggest tilt at the title will be 2015 - Waynes last year.

 

[The Showstopper]

I hope we buy smart and not because we feel the need to replace Packer. I want both Joey and Dane sewn up on long term deals together with Mullo first and foremost before we even look at 2015. Ben Matulino is one fella I hope we pursue.

Seen an article on Shane Shackleton the other week. His looking for a new club his got experience and would come cheap.
