Rumoured Targets 3

[Grandpa Joe]

Nice work by the club with the trade being Bryan is out for rest of the year. I'd say his a step up (small one.) from Coggs and Gamble, be interesting to see if he gets a run in first grade at all.

So, halves wise next year we have Brown, Sharpe, Cogger, Gamble and Crossland probably in that order?

If we give Arthur an extension surely Cogger or Gamble is moved on?

Crossland shouldn’t be in that mix, for me he should be in the Kurt Mann bucket of ball playing middle/utlity/hooker.
Both Cogger and Gamble are in the late 20s with only a year remaining on their deals, if I were them this would be an ideal time to be chasing a super league pension

Surely Cogs chases SL money next year, he would go well over there.

Is Arthur any good? Like honestly. Seems he is built like a backrower. Why is his brother so small?

 

[Burwood]

Apparently Manly wanted Hetherington for the swap, but we turned them down.

Apparently we got Lachlan Crouch effective immediately as well

Matt’s got good potential. NSW u19s hooker. Whether he makes it in FG though we don’t know. I don’t rate Jake, but also he’s been in shit situations and probably slightly better than our other depth halfbacks so getting him for a few games in place of an average guy out for the season isn’t a bad play by any means. I would have been against it if it was for Hethrington given our middle depth is so poor.

Someone know much about Crouch?

Someone know much about Crouch?

ex-Knights junior. Used to have a handy offload I think.

World beater? Definitely not. Better than what we have? Yes. More of a FG prospect than Bryan, Glassen, Cant, etc. I suspect he would have already debuted if he was here and probably will before the end of the year.

We talking Croker/Jones level here? Wonder why we didn't let Jacko just go then?
