Rumoured targets thread

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

Where is this from?

 

[perverse]

he seems to be insinuating he has a source with his assuredness. that or just pretending to look like he has a source so we'll buy some bollocks.

Cuthbo, Laurie and Buderus still unannounced and technically have uncertain futures. Buderus (from what i've heard and read elsewhere) is more or less done - but i have no genuine source on that, just a lot of internet chatter. it's still not officially announced that he's leaving Leeds over there, but their supporters have already said their goodbyes.

i quite literally can't comment on Cuthbo outside of the speculation i was floating earlier.

Laurie... well i don't even really care.

that's an unfortunate part about this privitisation, actually... i've had a little birdy disappear here and there.

 

[G.I.]

Is McKinnon official?

 

[Matt23]

Is McKinnon official?

Pretty much

 

[perverse]

McKinnon was made official in a footnote that also mentioned Rochow, i think? it was very, very low key.

 

[G.I.]

On his wikipedia it says "He has signed a 3-year deal with the Newcastle Knights starting in 2012 to be closer to his family in Newcastle, New South Wales and the fact he is originally from the area."

 

[perverse]

yes, that all sounds correct.

 

[billy2]

He's from Scone.
He was in the same St Joey's Aberdeen under 16s side that Tyler Sullivan took to a state title.

 

[Newie is God's Country]

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.

Talent to burn. Harsh assessment but I can't argue he is slack.

 

[Whats Doing]

i quite literally can't comment on Cuthbo outside of the speculation i was floating earlier.

Dragons forum are claiming he has signed on for Newie and he has apparently told this to Dell but yeah still not officlal.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Talent to burn next year hard to pick a top 25 almost let alone a a top 17 which is a mouth watering position to be in.

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Our squad strength is very solid if you actually stop and have a good look. It will be very well balanced if in fact Bedsy and Cuthbo sign on. They will round out a very strong recruitment drive and best of all Cuthbo is in career best form.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

Would never happen but how good would it be if we got Maloney or Cherry-Evans.

 

[Newie is God's Country]

Cherry is the most brilliant young half i have seen in a long time. He has a composure that is amazing for a kid of twenty one. He is a queenslander so we are in for a long decade at origin level.

QLD are producing quality halves left, right and centre... I'm actually quite a fan or Rob Something from the tigers... Heard he a QLDer as well...

Even NZ have better halves options than NSW... Benji, Foran, Rogers (Warriors)

Lui is a man of highly questionable character Yoshy. Calling him a man is actually being too nice cos he isn't worthy of the title.

Rogers? Do you mean Shaun Johnson?
Of the young NSW halves, I rate Jacob Miller, Curtis Sironen, Sam Williams and Harry Siejka quite highly, all probably a year or two off 1st grade though. Also I think alot of people forget Pearce is the same age as Cherry-Evans

 

[Yosh]

Damn!!!! That's not good.. Bad for the NRL as well...

Ah yes, Johnson, that's the one! He looks gun!

I still have this hope that Mullen steps up next year though and takes the NRL by storm... I reckon he's very unlucky to have been at Newcastle... If he came through the Storm system, he'd be Australia's next 5/8th outside of Cronk. Cronk/Mullen would be an amazing combination. Make it happen Tinks.

 

[Joker's Wild]

huh?:?

he just got arrested for allegedly beating up on his missus after mad monday, for the 2nd time

he is a dog
