We need to go all out for Quade Cooper!
But from what Osborne has told the media bout usno longer being interested anymore we probably have no bloody chance!

I for one, am not that upset. Anyone that agrees to terms 3 times, and still doesnt come here, doesnt really want to play for the eels.

The good news. We still have the money to spend. We will make some signings that will make us all excited for next year.

Nil stress.

At least the Bunnies had to streeeetch the wallet to keep him.

It does show a lack of character & integrity.....you got any hints you can pass on?

Shows what influence Rusty Crowe has, worked his nuts off behind the3 scenes and played on Sandows conscience

We can't get all tied up, Feleti was offered more money from the Beagles and he stayed for less, can't have it both ways.

He is not going to another club, and Jeremy Smith signed before SK was appointed. DA didn't want him, go figure , and Graham was over rated and over paid and is only a slight improvement on the numpties we have currently


I reckon Wade could be a gun.
Seriously if he plays anything close to as well as he did in the juniors he will be awesome.

That is truly my thoughts too......i am happy to wait for signings, it is only May......i will worry later in the year.......

I am more concerned about the on field displays at the moment, i want to see something change and so far i have seen nothing, regardless of the quality of players we have......

Seriously, i know there is the Billy Rogers jokes but why is he seriously on the bench???? We are garbage i know but give him game time, we are going to lose anyway, what will it hurt?????

newmanj, hope you're right and thanks for the update. please keep us informed with any future news.

Luke Kelly is a must now but he's still very raw but has the potential.
Saw a bit of Harry Seijka yesterday and He did nothing to excite me

Why not rotate him with Pat O'Hanlon then ? Even Rory Brien.

though while its disapointing to miss him, its obvious he never wanted to leave souths, he may have turned into another Adam Dykes.

IF (and it is still an "if" until it's official) you guys miss out on Sandow, I'd go after Albert Kelly. Kelly is a younger (and just as talented) version of Sandow. Make Kelly and Mortimer your halves combo and stick with them for a while.

We put 5 years into Sandow to turn him into the player he's just starting to become now. IMO Daniel Mortimer is in the same boat, he was thrown into 1st grade too early but the talent is there.

Make Kelly your #7, Mortimer your #6 and give Kearney two full seasons to try and get something out of them.

And getting Kelly would be easier for you guys, he plays for the basketcase of the comp, their captain has said in the last few days that they may need to relocate, one of their star props has left for less money, Kelly would be gettable.

OR we could just wake up tomorrow to find out Sandow has signed with you guys and tonights rumours are just BS...

Tell that to Suity...

:crazy:

Why me?
I just stated in another thread that I'm quite happy with proceedings.
On the other hand, I won't be happy if the Sandow news is true.
Try picking a fight with someone else mate.

We could be prepared to release Matt Orford to you...
Pauly is an Ex Raider after all. The best part of that is he is EX

But who though? We desperately need a halfback more than anything else and we've had about 5 or 6 reject us over the past 12 months.

After what i saw of him in the Q Cup this year where he won the game on his own he would be my first choice, tho i would be checking on the groin injury he had repaired last year tho.

Albert Kelly. Even better than signing him would have been not losing him in the first place.

Thing is all the decent off contract players are going to want to be sorting out there future in the next few weeks. They don't leave it until July or August to test the open market. The only players still on the market in 3 months time will be the players nobody wants.
