Sp apparently Mitch Rein is on the outs with the Dragons, Is he someone we'd be interested in picking up for Hooker?[/QUOTE]

Worst regular starting hooker in the NRL. He's Matt Keating with a top knot

1. Gutho
2. Semi
3. Taka
4. Jennings
5. French
6. Norman
7. Fogarty
8. Mannah
9. Pritchard
10. Vave
11. Ma'u
12. Tepai
13. Scott

14. IDG
15. Edwards
16. Wicks
17. Brown

Squad is building nicely.

Brown would surely start over Vave. Hooker rotation and halfback is woeful, we need to address at least one of those positions by next season, even if we just give Cornish a shot for a season

 

[emjaycee]

We don't know how the halfback will go yet.
Fogarty may turn out to be a fantastic fit. Best player in Qld ISC wasnt he?

Fair enough, haven't really seen him play to be honest, and they were talking him up a bit in the article, potential NSW hooker, yadda yadda, just wanted to see what the collective opinion here was seeing as how we're in the market for a 9.

Dragons don't want him gone, he just thinks he is worth $450k while dragons are only offering $350k apparently.

Surely players must realise if they aren't getting better offers they should take what is on the table.

Plod Rein is not even worth Tree Fiddy let alone 350k, absolute Plodder who's service is worse than my local KFC.

yeh, and played a bit of Fullback but probabaly a bit small to play FB in the NRL.

Big jump in class from QC.

 

[hineyrulz]

He could turn out to be the next DCE or the next Tom Humble.

Yep and until he does we won't know.

Every debutant could turn out shit and especially those who are thrust into a chief play-making role. Doesn't mean they all do.

 

[Happy MEel]

Imagine being an opposition player looking up at Beau Scott, Nathan Brown and Manu Mau. Jesus, I'd "pull a hamstring" in the warm up.

I wouldn't get past teamlist Tuesday

I suppose the handy thing is that he won't. he'll be there to help out Norman, so there won't as much pressure on him, IMO anyways..

The first 6 rounds he'll be catching his breath after having 110kg forwards running at him non-stop for 80 mins.

Yep, and if we sign Matt Lodge, the opposition players won't even be able rest in the belief that they and their families (and their pets probably) are safe off the field. Couldn't even go overseas to escape.

What, they don't have big guys in QLD Cup? isn't that where they make them?

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Brown will stay with Souths guys. Sorry to break your hearts.

Too late, no backsies...

 

[natheel]

Apparently we have some announcements coming this week or next so will have to wait and see.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

He got dropped when he signed a couple of weeks ago. He's only back in the side because Musgrove got suspended.

If we're going to sign the nutcracker then it only makes sense to get some nuts.
