heres the article

Parramatta has earmarked former Newcastle utility Sean Rudder as a possible playmaking option if they are unsuccessful in luring Brett Finch to the NRL club next season.
Rudder, who partnered Andrew Johns at the scrumbase during the Knights' 2001 premiership victory, is hoping to re-establish himself in the NRL when his contract with Super League club Les Catalans expires at the end of the season.
The Eels are looking for a five-eighth after the loss of Wests Tigers-bound utility John Morris next season, with Finch their prime target after the Sydney Roosters gave him permission to negotiate with rival clubs.
However, Rudder, is seen as a possible fallback option due to his experience and utility value.

He's a five-eighth, lock, centre, can play hooker, a bit of back row," said former teammate and manager Tony Butterfield.
"He's the sort of guy that could do the job for you in a number of positions.
"He's a player with a 138 NRL games and 70-odd Super League games under his belt.
"Rudds is a tough bugger, he's virtually never been injured in all his time."
Rudder's former club, Newcastle, has expressed interest in the 27-year-old, as have St George, Penrith, South Sydney and the Roosters.
Meanwhile, Wests Tigers are closing in on the signature of Richard Villasanti after tabling the former Kangaroos prop a two-year deal.
"He was on that Kangaroo tour not that long ago and a player doesn't lose it just like that," Tigers recruitment manager Warren McDonnell said.
"We're looking for him to step up again and maybe step back up into rep football.
"That would be something we'd be aiming at.
"He's spent a bit of time at Balmain before, his wife's family comes from the area.
"It would be a good fit for both of us."
Villasanti has also received interest from English side Hull and current club Cronulla, although the Tigers are believed to have the inside running.

:lol: Finch, Rudder....

I give up. Wake me up when it's over!

I wish we were after Villasanti. If he could capture his old form, he would be a mongrel with Moimoi.

Bring back Peter Johnston

Finch is better than Rudder by a long, long way...

[Jake the snake]

Sorry 2nd thread can someone close this one......

 

[Jake the snake]

WHY........ WHY............WHY........ Why not re-sign Kusto if we are going to sign sh*t up?? Why? KUSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[The Colonel]

We aren't the only one chasing him by the looks of it. With any luck we won't get him. Brian Smith will make sure of it you watch.... ;-)

 

[jason taylor]

Kusto is better than Rudder Finch is better than Kusto

 

[Jake the snake]

We aren't the only one chasing him by the looks of it. With any luck we won't get him.

Who would chase him.... He's the type of player that should chase the club... Tht's how crap he is. Surely Hagan won't make the same mistake twice.

Then again if Hagan see's how bad Rudder is and how good Blake is..... then it should be easier for Blake to make 1st grade next year. So..... Rudder Rudder Rudder Rudder......

 

[yy_cheng]

Same for Kusto

St George, Penrith, South Sydney and the Roosters. Oh and us apparently. ;-)

 

[jason taylor]

Please go to souths

Geee I hope we can snag him....... It looks like we may have a fight on our hands for the Great RUDDDEEERRRR!!!!:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

[Jake the snake]

oooops i forgot the......;-)

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Joke, Why not go after Firman or Hohoia.

f**k their are still some good players on the market.

 

[The Colonel]

He's a player with a 138 NRL games and 70-odd Super League games under his belt

When it comes down to it though, as much sh*t as you can heap on Rudder, it doesn't change the above stats. 200+ games experience in NRL and ESL is handy given what we have lost. And he played pretty well outside of Johns when they wooped us in the 2001 GF. Who knows - he may well play the majority of the year as a PL player.....
