Who would you buy for the club?

[TrigaTheTiger]

Lock and second row is all the same thing these days.

Not many traditional locks anymore - Gallen maybe - cant think of many more - The position is not specialist anymore.

 

[b.bear]

Thursto, Gall or Slater

Lock is a 3rd prop now with slightly better D and less meterage. Gibbs is a perfect lock. Great defender and can make decent enough yardage up the middle.

SMH reported he would be used as a lock which is logical.

yes, but the common theme among Wests threads is the fact the logic and Mr Sheens team selections tend to be mutually exclsive

Imagine if we bought Gordon. With the injury he just received, under our doctors he'd be a cripple with brain damage somehow.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::crazy:too funny

i could swear that our club doctor moonlights in my local asian takeaway

 

[R2Coupe]

That is just to get him to sign, then we will screw him over in the front row:lol:

Cynics the lot of you:lol:

I think he will add a different dimension to the side and lead our young forwards.

 

[TroopyF]

Pat Richards.

I'll second that, either Pat or Thurston.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I'd love another center, not much quality around though

I'd rather develop some of our own than buying a filler. We have one named in the NSW U/18 team today.

I think thats the shame of it all, we don't really have a young pack anymore, with most of the starting 6 being +5 yr seasoned players, who just don't turn up every week & produce there "A" game.

If the rumours a right, then:
Fulton & Gibbs don't want to be here?
Payten is just too injured to give any more service?
Farah is playing injured & playing for his rep spots?
Ellis is homesick?
Heighington only does enough to keep his spot.
Galloway just gets injured too much.
Dwyer, Fifita, MM, Woods & the Schirnacks are keen, but lack the experience.

Hopefully Blair can turn it around for us, with some pride & attitude, that will rub off on the rest of them.

Let's be realistic, any talk of ideal signings can really only come down to three players:

1. Thurston - we get that genuine halfback to lead us around. Lui and Moltzen are FG standard players, just not sold either are halfbacks.
2. Slater - Blind Freddy can see we're lacking a FG standard fullback, let alone a top notch fullback.
3. Matt Scott - best prop in the world to add some real starch to our forwards. Probably more a luxury than anything, but Scott, KG, Ellis, BMM, Fifita, Woods, Groat, Shirnacks and whomever of Gibbs, Hino, Fulton stick around should be quality.

I can't argue with that.
