We only have one out and out centre in Goddard and he's out for a while yet, great signing if we could pull it off!

ratu???

Cant see the problem with getting Parker if its affordable!

I think he'd be a good signing, but not worth busting the bank for. JJP's side of the story about been released from Wakey here - www.thenational.com.pg/?q=node/14813 Story appeared on a PNG Newspaper Site

Hmm he's a good player and would be decent for us but i can't find a space in the team.

Patts has one centre spot as White is on such great form, we need Patts for kicking.

the other side, i would still have Goddard every day, he is still one of the best centres in the league and i would always play him when fit, i dont think we've had him fully fit for a couple of seasons now

Would leave well alone if i were you, caused a bit of unrest at rovers, also left the rented accomodation he was staying in a right mess when he left, the place had to be fumigated

Standard.

Thinking about it, I'd like to have him in the team, but I'd rather we brought another prop in.

Unrest in camp, accommodation ruined etc all issues faced by many clubs I think in one way or another and lets face it all rumour. Many a word has been muted about our players causing unrest at other clubs. It about the environment they are currently in and how they are handled and I for one would rather have a player of his calibre in my side. Ratu out til mid Summer, will he be the same player after a badly broken arm? Goddard, snapped Achilles, will he be the same? A strike centre can win you games (remember Greg Austin??) - Hull KR fans said the same about him being a trouble maker when he signed at Fax but I'd repeat history every day of the week to see a player of his calibre again. Dave Watson had his issues but by god what a player. - JJP scored 17 tries in 15 games I believe at Fev and I would love to see him at Fax.

Yep!!

Good post! If there is truth in the alleged interest then why not have him if he adds to our squad. Also agree about the prop scenario but its all about who`s available and how much the club can afford.

I AGREE CHRIS. RATU OUT FOR AGES AND GODDARD TO RETURN WHEN?

NEITHER WILL RETURN BACK TO THIER BEST AND MATCH FIT, SO WE NEED COVER.

WE HAVE NASH, CLAYTON, PATTO, BANNISTER AND HALEY...

BUT IF WE GET ANY MORE INJURIES WE COULD BE STRUGGLING.

IF HE WANTS TO PLAY AND IS WITHIN BUDGET SIGN HIM UP.

Gingdong may be a short ovoid gobsheeite with all the subtlety of a farmyard dog on your ankle and brings to debate what ecoli brings to a kitchen!! But those who know me will know I'm not prone to over exaggeration or slanderous remarks. I can't do with either. But there are no inaccuracies in his [ging dong's] post.
If you believe I'm being mischeivous here, fair do's. I'll live with that. But I do know significantly more than I would care to post on a public forum.

Fax are a good team. JJP is a good player would would stand out in any championship side. However, if you take the utilitarian view, I believe (and I'm being dead straight here), Fax would be a better team for leaving him alone!

Just my opinion like.

Personally, I believe we have a strong squad. Seems to have a really good team bond and work ethic that a player with a reputation such as this, despite undeniable talent, could disrupt. We've made some really good signings in areas that needed strengthening, and its good to also have that continuity within the squad where possible as well. Too risky and probably too expensive for me!

and there's the rub my friend!
