From current team we will lose gordon and robson
We will gain norman and semi .

I imagine we have around 1.5mill to spend or potentially more.
We offered haybe 850k and im sure we still had room for more forwards in budget
Exciting times

Does anyone even return that merkin's call anymore? He'd have less inside info than you.

Why do I get the feeling his "mail" is nothing more than having his wife Bonny read the forums here and over on the other site, then putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 7.... in this case, Reynolds is the 7 he came up with...

Yeah Widdop looks like he needs a change of scenery... He was doing OK at the Dragons up until about the time Marshall signed with them in 2014. Seems to have gone downhill since then but I think if surrounded by the right team and the right coach (Mcgregor ain't no coach IMO), I think Widdop could be an astute signing for any club.

Zero tackle says Widdop is under contract for 2017 @ $550k per year. Why would Saints let him go unless they has a better player lined up to replace him ? Then they'd need two halves cos puddin Benji is rubbish.

Strange things happen. Thsi time last year if you said the Roosters would let Michael Jennings go and come to the Eels I don't think many people would have believed that was any chance of happening. If the coming off season is anything like last year then there will be plenty of shuffling.

And maybe we sign him after November 1 for 2018... and then his manager and the Eels start pushing for an early release to get him for 2017 stating the player is unhappy a la Jnr Paulo to the Raiders (salary cap issues aside).... It does happen....

True, but maybe if we signed him for 2018, they would just let him go.

Yeah I can't see them letting him go but if they don't have a replacement.

There is a good chance Hastings going to go to us or the dragons, so if we got Widdop they would be favourites for Hastings.

I hope it's not Widdop. The guy is so inconsistent, I think Gutho does a very similar job. I want an upgrade to that for the money he would want.

We should be going hard on Moses.

Wtigers would let Brookes go before Moses. Moses is a keeper and they will put close to $1m on the table to keep him 2018+.
