[Big Mick]

[Big Mick]

----------------
14. Roy Astoasi
15. Reni Maitua
16. Tony Grimaldi
17. Jamie Feeney (heard he's staying)

 

[thuganomics]

Has Colin best signed with the Dragons?
Slater Fullback, Turner wing, King centre.
Swap Young and Creagh

 

[thuganomics]

Also Brent Kite in the Eagles.

 

[Big Mick]

colin best will, with blacklock leaving.

Maybe with regards to melbourne

Yeah i had young in starting as well, but i thought creagh might get his chance thats all.

 

[I Bleed Green]

Good effort mate, although I doubt we're getting Fielden, Elliot denied it vehemently on the radio today.

I'd go with:

1. Clinton Schifcofske
2. Matthew Gafa
3. Adam Mogg
4. Phil Graham
5. Michael Robertson
6. Jason Smith
7. Mark McLinden
8. Michael Weyman
9. Simon Woolford
10. Ryan O'Hara
11. Michael Hodgson
12. Ian Hindmarsh
13. Jason Croker

14. Troy Thompson
15. Terry Martin
16. Alan Rothery (star of the future)
17. Todd Carney (see above. Will definitely be the starting halfback by the end of '05)

We really need some good buys, but there isn't much left.

[thuganomics]

Aaron Moule, what the heck? is he coming out of retirement?

 

[t-ba]

He's playing for Widnes atm. A rather reliable source has said the club is trying to secure his services.

 

[Big Mick]

well after failing with Tahu, Monoghan and Whaitura, Manly need someone.

 

[t-ba]

well after failing with Tahu, Monoghan and Whaitura, Manly need someone.

aye. I don't even think they put in an offer offer for Whatuira...

 

[Big Mick]

not what i heard.

 

[t-ba]

It's what I've heard. Media Beat up, much like the non-existant challenge to Beavers captaincy.

 

[Alan Shore]

Beattie is yet to re-sign and will go to the Warriors if they don't get Price.
