Rumoured Targets 3

[perverse]

Seriously, a fit and committed Keiran Foran plus 2 very good props would be incredible for this side.

Would be ecstatic with that.

Yep it would be very greedy to not be happy with that. I'd even be happy with just Foran and Graham. I'd be happy with either of them even. Hell, I'm just happy they're talking to us.

And Foran at half with a prop puts us as legitimate top 8 contenders and potentially top 4 depending on how everyone else progresses. Foran is a winner and is still one of the best halves in the world.

Maybe Hages and Stone are illiterate because anyone who read a paper could have told you Hodko was having trouble walking up stairs his knees were so bad.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

So I'm assuming someone at the club didn't really do the due diligence on Hodko??? I mean, were his knees this bad when he signed????

That's why he doesn't kick on the 5th.

Of he gets hit late his knees are dead.

Do a Google of "Trent Hodkinson stem cells" and you be the judge.

hahahahahaha

It would get us winning some games and actually moving forward properly. Anything beyond that is gravy. We need signings to progress from here.

 

[Spot On]

....and Hagan had the gall to express concern at what Brown was doing here. JFC.

 

[Spot On]

I can't entertain the idea of purchasing Ben M after having both knees operated on.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

hahahahahaha

Foran is good enough to make it happen if we have another good prop and everyone else progresses well. No reason why it couldn't happen.

You only need to look at what the addition of a good prop and an in form Widdop has done with the dragons to see how much a team can change with players firing.

 

[slotmachine]

The dragons won 10 games last year.
They already had two quality middle players in De Belin and Packer.
They have two NSW reps in Frizell and Dugan.
Plus a quality established half.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

And Foran is twice the player Widdop is.

If we are adding ponga Foran and grahame and all our other players step up anything can happen.

The impact of a genuine elite half is monsterous.

 

[mozza91]

If we had Foran instead of Hodkinson this season we'd of won 2 or 3 more games. He'd make a huge difference no doubt.

 

[macavity]

Let's not blow our loads just yet.

At the end of the day if any "big club" wants him they can outbid us.

I think irrespective of Foran we should be calling the Roosters every day about Connor Watson - young, something to prove, wouldn't cost a mint and isn't going to get a run where he is. Then again it's not like the Roosters have cap management to worry about.

 

[Johns Magic]

We should be praying Dogs get Woods and Tedesco - will make getting Foran and Graham a lot easier.

And they're going to go after Cronk.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Yeah dogs are chasing woods teddy and Cronk. If they get 2 of them they aren't getting Foran too.

 

[Noname36]

Toohey usually doesn't speak out of turn and there is plenty in that article hinting the club is starting to see Hodkinson as a problem and he may be on the way out.

Does anyone actually think that the club hasn't realised how bad Hodko has been?

Just because he's not being dropped now because it would likely f**k up some of our young halves doesnt mean the club sees him as a long term option.

Foran would be amazing (would prefer him to Bird 100%) but it's unlikely obviously so I won't get my hopes up.

 

[Johns Magic]

Does anyone actually think that the club wouldn't think Hodko is an issue?

Keeping him until the end of his contract and trying to ship him out immediately are different things.

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

I have faith that as the season goes on the knights will be giving hokko a tap on the shoulder and strongly advising him to go to England. He could add an extra few years onto his career going over there.

Pay half his wage to go over there, heck pay his full wage. Just get him out of here.
