My views 100%. I am excited by our crop of juniors, provided we nurture the younger ones like Ackers, Stewart, Pauli, then put them on long term contracts same as the three Junior Kangaroo forwards.
Let's see -
Also forced out of the Warriors starting team by a bloke we didn't want...
If we're not one of them, what are we doing? Has a good work rate and plays a position we desperately need to fill. Won't cost as much as Keon either. Good signing if we could get him. In terms of being let go by the roosters, I think that was more an opportunity thing for him to go to the warriors. Maybe Warriors are going to hit a cap bind too. Harris, Johnson, Ford need be re-signed, CNK will command more money in the future. RTS coming back, AFB on big dollars. They probably needed to squeeze someone out, and Curran fits that bill as he commands bigger dollars and doesn't start for them. He's had one off-field indiscretion for anyone concerned about that. If it's really a concern that he's gonna muck up, put a good behaviour clause in the contract, or don't sign him at all. Our staff should be doing character checks, and if he doesn't fit the bill in terms of that, don't sign him, simple. Playing-wise he'd be a great acquisition.
Sorry I meant the junior teams as no junior teams made any finals this year. The actual players that made the rep teams did well from all reports in their rep games which I am looking forward to seeing them come through.
I like this, but who starts on the left edge for you if this theoretically did happen? We're just so thin in the back-row.
Perhaps not to "start" there but I'd be giving one of the Couchmen plenty of games there next year
I saw the list as well and it is very slim pickings indeed. Curran would be handy however and a solid buy for the Dragons. I think Saints best hope is looking overseas or hope for Nov 1 for any guys to come out and ask for a release.
Thanks Big Rig.
The ESL and NZ rugby should be our hunting grounds.
I have mail he is coming. Not sure how reliable it is but I do have mail.
I'd add to that Australian Rugby. The World Cup is over for us and Australian Rugby has been humiliated in the process. There are quite a few disenchanted players courtesy of Eddie Jones selection policies.
Not the end of the world, but yet another one we went after and missed.. Must be so deflating.. Not sure if we have to pay more overs or just keep spraying and praying we land 1 of these bigger fish.
