Sims + a prop is really all we need for next year. I still think Williams will come through at half. I haven't given up on Rein/Garvey combination. It really is a golden opportunity to bring a junior home.

Sounds good but we aren't exactly chasing too hard on props that I can see though Doust does keep his cards close to his chest

You never know with the Dragons. One thing I like about our management is that they do respect privacy and don't add to the rumour mill. They will 100% be after Sims. Him on one edge and Thompson on the other. Both very hard men. Move Ah Mau back tight to wreak havoc with Frizzel.

As for the prop signing, I really don't know. Maybe they rate JDB and Stockwell highly enough to think they don't need another prop but they very obviously do. Those guys + Hunt/Creagh are all good players but they are the same type of players. There is no balance in that pack. It's all very bland. I do think Cooper is progressing nicely and he does add a bit of spice.

If he asks for a release the Cowboys don't look like they will stand in his way would be more than a handy pickup.

Even if the cap is a tad tight off load Bronson Harrison he'd be on good coin and honestly adds little and isn't getting any first grade game time.

Yeah I agree, I have a huge wrap on Stockwell and JDB and Friz has surprised me this year, I still feel we need one monster and if we land Tariq that will be a very good pack. I just don't see how Hunt can improve, sure he can cut out the penalties etc but the area of concern is he just doesnt have the power or size. He's had good seasons in the past but maybe injuries have held him back

I hope thats not true as I think he will develop into a good half and Witt will only stay one more year at most. There's some good kids coming through but they are 2yrs away IMO

Total waste of his time and the clubs he needs to be given a bit more time than a couple of games says a lot about our recruitment nous.

We have a prop. His name is Trent Merrin. Why is he playing lock? It's been a mystery to me from the beginning.

It might happen, but seems like an educated guess really. If the journo was a punter he'd be backing 5 horses in a 15 horse field. Even doing that, he might might the miss mark completely with the Tigers not mentioned amongst the possibilities.

I'm waiting to hear from Como or some of the forum regulars with "insider" connections to bring us all some news.

I know nothing at this stage, this may change as I get older I guess !
