Rumoured targets 2

[Spot On]

Sterlo was saying on triple m that gold coast have given permission for m.minichello to look elsewhere...... Worth a look?

Geez he can have a few clangers at the worst possible times. I think we have a few like that already.

 

[Allstar Knights]

I think we're already nicely stocked in the backrow next year.

Scott, Tariq, Jez, Tapine and I reckon Fitzgibbon looks the goods for see some FG next year. I also think Korbin's best position is at lock, too.

Has hands like feet. No thanks

 

[Nuffy]

Vuna and Edwards maybe?

Won't be Edwards, he's not off contract until 2015.

Frankly, is there anyone we lost that we want back.

Might be Zeb, could be Nev hope it's not Marvin Filipo.

As for Vuna, loved the bloke but do we need another outside back.

We need props, props and some props.

 

[Whats Doing]

Could it be Peter Mat

 

[Noname36]

Totally forgot about him, wouldn't mind him on say $120k a year

If he's dropped the Team Mundine crap, absolutely. The more I think about it the more I think it'd be Pato. He's never seemed too happy anywhere else, and he's off contract this year I think.

Re Vuna: I could be wrong but I think he chose to go to Union well before Bennett came in didn't he? If that's the case he doesn't really fit the description. Could be Sau, Pete or one of the Naiqamas...but honestly we be absolutely nuts to sign any of them with the amount of outside backs we have.

Don't need anymore band aid solutions.....

The Fox Sports News has been running with the Stone story saying he is going shopping for props. Hallelujah!!!!

Depth and infectious personality

I'd rather tries and wins thanks. We can do better with the cash.

 

[voltron]

Stone talked about Mason, Faalongo and Houston
He kind of indicated we wont be able to keep all three
but the way he talked it seemed we had other priorities to keep first anyway

Of the props off contract I'd go after:
Lloyd Perrett
Martin Kennedy (not off contract but unwanted)
Francis Molo
Jake Trbojevic
James Hasson
Sosaia Vave
Jo Ofahengaue
Dunamis Lui
Mitchell Dodds
Sam Anderson

In that particular order
There's no real big names on the market but all those guys are quite young and won't cost too much.
I'd personally offer Perrett a contract he couldn't refuse, say $220k a year (front loaded) and a chance to be a permanent 1st grader

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Marty Kennedy has had a shit year up North but that doesn't mean he is a badplayer. Clearly he has not adjusted or is overwhelmed. I get he would be a risk signing but if his price was right I would be all for it. The fact remains he is massive unit and has shown in the past that he can be a very good yard maker. The ESL is full of big props like Mike Cooper who just want a go here. Cooper wasn't even in the 17 for Warrington and has been excellent for St George.

 

[Noname36]

I hope we don't use all our money on a bunch of average props when there's much more quality off contract next year. I'd try and make one quality purchase, keep Fa'alogo for depth, let Mason and Houston go, give some kids a go next year to see who's up to it, then when we know what we need go crazy for 2016.

Agree,

 

[red and blue]

Dose anyone think that the forward that is looking to comeback to newcastle might be Corey Patterson? I'm pretty sure he is of contract at the tigers don't say we need him or want him.

Agree it's likely Pato, only realistic one.

Not sure we need him but wouldn't see him as anything other than injury cover.

I'd be chasing Kennedy as he was on track with the rorters and the broncos will pay us to take him.

I'd also be chasing Kasiano, we need some size. He would be inexpensive as he's out of favour.

I personally cannot see any point in signing Patterson. If the rumour about a former forward being brought back to the club is to be true and we need props, then Tets would be the likely target. I don't think he deserves another shot though. He farked up royally.

Sad thing is I thought the silly bastard was just starting to show some good signs before he went derp. Thoughts???

 

[red and blue]

I agree I don't think we need Patterson either maybe it's wicks he's looking for a club though he never left because Bennett arrived. Tets did stuff up but maybe if given another chance he wouldn't waste it this time.

 

[Noname36]

Good Lord. Even though we need props I'd prefer Paterson over that dickhead Tetavano. I've got absolutely no time for anyone that would assault a woman and I'd seriously have to question my support of the club if we brought him back.

 

[Alex28]

I can't think of a player that has left over the last few years that we would want back.

I see no point in Pato coming back. We don't need him. We need to look forward, not back.
