Rumoured Targets 3

[perverse]

Maybe wants to get next year sorted, then get it repaired this year....

Oh yeah, I like this. Hell, there's gotta be a decent chance it goes this year anyway surely.

Big NO to Brown for me. We need a leader, not an overpriced maybe with a possibly busted knee. He will never be a controlling half, and nor should he try to be. His strengths should be his focus, but it’s not what we need. We have fantastic ball runners in the squad. We have nobody to put them in the holes.

Money and duration is ridiculous, if true.

Brown would still allow another 800K halves signing to bring the spine outlay in line with successful rosters.

You're dreaming. Maybe for a well-run club.

Have you seen Brown play? He’s one of the most naturally gifted players at putting other blokes clean through holes in NRL history. He’s a very good running half but a better ball player.

Please no Fogarty. Dude has to be dead last in line engagements among NRL halfbacks. Yes he’s got a big boot but he doesn’t create enough time and space for his outside men. He’s 32 so not likely to improve on that front either.

Fogarty would only make sense if he was in addition to someone like Brown, not instead of, where his main responsibility was just kicking. A good long kicking game is still something we need, and neither Brown or any of our current halves really have that.

I’ve heard he wants out of the Raiders, but how much he wants will be the clincher. He’s only on 450k at the Raiders which we could definitely afford in addition to Brown unless he’s wanting 700k+ (but I doubt POS would be willing to go that high there anyway).

Save the money for a half.

Again though, who?????

I don’t think anyone here in support of signing Brown would see him as their number 1 pick if we had the option of signing anyone in the comp…but I’d personally prefer to try and sign Brown to at least offer us another point of attack and help KP out rather than just have the money sitting there waiting for someone that doesn’t exist (or at least not exist in a reality where they’re available and would sign up to play in Newcastle).
