Scott Drinkwater still available

[Mario chalmers]

Is an outstanding fullback prospect stuck in the Melb Storm system. He is the brother of former WT Josh. He got a write up in the media last weekend but has not signed with the Cowboys as per some reports.

Melbourne will release him before June 30 as long as they get a player back in return (see Craig Bellamy interview on Storm website).

We should be offering up someone to try and get him to the club. They might look at ET, Taylor or Rochow in exchange as they are a bit light on for forward depth particularly during Origin.

If you have not seen Drinkwater play get on to youtube. WT clearly need a strike fullback

I wonder if Thompson can get it together at the back. I mean he had a shocker last week but was that a one off.

Madge has got some problems to sort out with a tight cap doesn't he.

I'd be happy with anyone of the 3 players vying for the Melbourne fullback spot.

He is f**king useless!! Had his type here before , Kori,Jac and Pap etc all they have is speed and score tries! Overrated abilities at Weststigers . We may give them a shot when they are 32 and slow up a bit.

 

[Tiger05]

He looks good there doesn't he.

Speed & Wests Tigers are mutually exclusive

Well I don't think we are going to get the likes of Teddy back, so unless we find a youngster, we need to buy the best we can, if we need to.

 

[Tiger05]

I reckon we should be after this guy. These are the type of cheapish signings that can come off.

Mmmmm. Don’t know!! The clips are impressive, but..... what’s he like doing the grunt work, it’s where we get killed getting out of our red zone. One thing about those clips that was very evident was the quality of the defence, it was shite!!!! It’s a nice highlights reel from a bloke playing park footy. He is around a minimum wage player at this stage, but someone will pay him overs. I guess he is worth a punt at the right price. The Drinkwater’s owe us after paying Josh for a couple of years

 

[Tiger05]

^^^
Pezz - hopefully our forwards can get us going forward. We do need to take some punts and I reckon he looked pretty good.

 

[macnaz]

He has signed with the Cowboys so no need to worry . He is hoping to be there this season if the storm release him now.

 

[Tiger05]

That is a downer. I hope he is ordinary.

 

[Shredder]

He wont be ordinary.

That must mean Kahu is on the market.....

 

[The unknown]

Cowboys have a war chest available if and when Holmes fails in the NFL. I guess Drink water won't really put a dent in that money set aside but when he comes available I hope we have a splash at him, he is worth every penny

 

[Magpies Forever]

Would definitely try for Drinkwater as latest info is that he has not yet signed with N QLD. Maybe trade one of ours to Melbourne if they can.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

People hate feki around here, I no understand.

 

[benched tiger]

Regardless of who we may sign we need better than what we have at the moment at FB.

 

[tiger102]

We should look at Jesse Arthars for FB

 

[The Charlatan]

So has Scott signed with the Cowboys, or did media outlets shoot their load early?

No announcement on the Cowboys site that I can see?
