If nothing else Cuthbertson provides something a little different

 

[Nuffy]

Not that I've done the math, but we seemed to have lost about 10+ players and signed 5.

Are we going to promote from within or continue to shop?

I'd say that's it for 2012. A big signing should happen next year though. Gallen is my hope or Dave Taylor.

We've got more than enough backrowers at the moment. What we truly need is a class halfback. Cronk?

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

I wish Jobdog but even with the increase of the cap squeezing, Gidley, Uate, Boyd, Mullen, Costigan, and Snowden is gonna be tough.

Not to mention increases to players like House, Edwards and Taia.....

 

[Koopa111]

Why would you even consider Dave Taylor he is crap...

We would have to let Mullen go if that was to be any chance of becoming reality and hope Tinks can find a big third party somewhere. We are talking a 500 k a season player right there.

 

[Yosh]

There aren't actually that many on the market right?

The only ones that are considerably better than what we have are Cronk, Benji and Thurston. I would love to see Benji here but doubt it'll happen. Actually... I'll call it. Benji at newie in 2013. You heard it here first (<--- Yosh of old)

Bulls###. He has hands and skills from God mate. He could by rights be the world's biggest five eighth. Damaging ballrunner. A human wrecking ball. Has it all.

Most forwards would look like human wrecking balls if they spent all game running at halves/centres/wingers.

The guy has a ticker the size of a wallnut. He loves running at tiny men all day but goes missing when he has to do any real work in the middle.

Hes the kind of player you want when your 10m out but thats it.

 

[Hooch]

He's a bludger.

 

[Silent Knight]

If we want to be premiership contenders we really shouldn't look at recruiting LOL@50uff$ players. They bring the taint with them.

Yep.

Sucks to be GI, never gets any room because Dave is running so wide trying to emulate Mal Meninga.

does anyone else feel that we may have had Cuthbo close to signed, but have maybe at the last minute referred him over to Leeds in a final attempt to get Bedsy back over here without a transfer fee? Leeds were open to a "replacement" coming from elsewhere, and allegedly it needn't be a hooker, either.

just pondering... the Buderus deal seems all but done, i don't know why they would bother waiting to announce it anymore if there weren't still something such as this hinging on it.

so yeah, my predicition is we pull out of the race for Cuthbertson in order to secure Buderus. call it a speculator?

They will both be in Newcastle ;-)

certainly happy to take both if we can. also happy to take just one. it's hard to be unhappy with anything our club has done lately (aside from a somewhat meek exit in week 1 finals).

 

[Bicey_18]

Cuthbertson, Laurie and Buderus will round out the clubs signings for 2012...

Gains: Darius Boyd, Kade Snowden, Timana Tahu, Danny Buderus, Adam Cuthbertson, Daine Laurie, Alex McKinnon, Robbie Rochow

Pretty handy recruitment imo

 

[perverse]

lol, ridiculous recruitment even. absurd.

 

[cram]

I wonder if the uncertainty surrounding Tolar is the problem/issue...may need his $$$
