I'm always a bit sus on players like this, it has a look of Dan Russell about it, that never amounts to much. If he hasn't been picked up by a club at 23 years old then that worries me, plus his injuries. But hey if people in the know are looking at him, fine by me :)

Yes, he could be a good back up. We are only showing interest so lets wait and see.

This RCG story is so weird. They say he is on 800-850k next season. He kicks a goal on his last game indicating he is leaving. Now we hear he has not signed with anyone and has been released.

So why would RCG risk giving up 850k next season, when he has no takers? How confident is he he will get signed by a club?

Another thing that has me wondering as well is as soon as Flanno heard Kobe Hetherington may be available from the Broncos, he may have thought to let Broncos land RCG so he can get the much younger Kobe who is coming into his prime. This kid under Flanno will come good. If they land him and DSaf that would be 2 pretty solid ins for the Saints.

I went to the Parra v Saints game and RCG was very good and the type of player Saints need. He has been good this year. I love how Flanno is sticking to 2 years though as he must have plans for the juniors to be ready by then and that is what you want. He is clearly looking for experience players but only for 2 years until the kids come through and the Dogs/Eels/Roosters come sniffing. Saints need money in the kitty to offer these kids big deals if they come good in 2 years.

I don't think Harran is doing much of the recruitment, Flanno is playing the big part. Flanno sends Haran to provide some initial talk of interest, sends out the feelers, and Flanno does the rest like he did with Val. He flew out to Nth Qld and days later he signed. Flanno is pulling the strings. I think Haran is just his assistant for now.

Knights fan - popped in because I think Saifiti might be back on the radar for your mob

Jenkins is another Knights junior who just went north to QLD Cup this year. Never thought he looked like a first grader coming through the grades here, was a bit of a generic plodder but can't say I've kept up with how he went since leaving.

I think saifiti would be good fit for us but he seems very stubborn in staying at newcastle or only moving if he gets overs.

Can't comment on his demands but his most recent comments sound like he's definitely on the move.

Dolphins seem to be the favourite but there was a sniff that the Rabbits were trying to make some moves to fit him in. Knights and Dragons talks broke down a while ago but missing RCG and Horsburgh makes me think that could be back on the table.
