Super League 2006 Ins-and-Outs

[JasonE]

Apart from Peacock,I've not been impressed with Leeds' recruitment at all so far.

I really fear Tony Smith is doing a "Brian Smith" and makings some poor signings with some strange recruiting going on. I can't believe a club which has such high ambitions will have players like O'Neill, Donald, Millard and Poching in their squad.

Cas have signed Luke Dyer from Penrith.I've never heard of him,is he any good?

 

[bartman]

Never heard of him either. Seems to have played one NRL first grade game in 2004... 5 mistackles

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

He's a mistackling MACHINE! :lol:

 

[Evil Homer]

I've tidied up the list with departures that I never saw confirmation of but seem to have happened.

 

[bartman]

Good stuff. Looking at the whole list I think the best recruitment there has been from Wigan, Huddersfield, Warrington and Salford? Should make for an interesting season...

He's solid, was in the Panthers 25 man squad this year. A good pick up for Castleford. He'll probably be slotted somewhere into the backline.

:lol:

To be fair, that was the night we got massacred 66-14 by the Storm - the backline would have had a shocker that night. And it was during Origin and therefore had Lewis, Rooney and Wesser missing.

Not that I'm trying to make excuses... ;-)

 

[bartman]

Fair enough PP. We'll take it that it's not the usual standard of Luke's game :lol:

 

[choc_soldier]

I'm pretty sure that match doubled as his FG debut too.

He had a good season for the Cougars this year. Definitely had the form to play for Penrith if he received the call up.

 

[bartman]

Cas reckon they've got three more backs to go...

 

[Evil Homer]

Leeds have just made probably the strangest purchase of the entire off-season...:shock:

 

[Weasels Ripped My Flesh]

Just pointing out that you have it as Willie Manu going to Cas from Canberra - he came from St George

 

[Evil Homer]

Ah thanks.I seemed to think he had moved mid season.

 

[Evil Homer]

Harlequins have signed Matt Gafa.

Always a shame to see a player with so much heart go, but he wasn't the fan's most popular player, made too many silly errors.

 

[JasonE]

He's a handy player but it will be interesting to see where he fits in, most probably as an interchange player with his ability to play anywhere in the backs.

 

[Evil Homer]

I think he will be a replacement for Mark O'Halloran - i.e. centre/replacement back on the bench/backup for other positions if needed.

 

[pommie_raider]

Marcus St Hilair from Halifax to Bradford one year contract.

 

[Evil Homer]

Aye it's an odd one that.
