OUT
Lee Smith, Clarkson, Webb, Mc Shane, Ambler, Griffin/Moore

IN
Lunt(if poss), Amor (re called), Chisholm, Singleton, Keinhorst

Lee Smith has failed to raise his game beyond mediocre and is exposed in any other position than wing where he is too slow.

Clarkson has been shocking and offers nothing in attack. Unfortunately our 2nd row has too many players that do little with ball in hand. Delaney is another average back rower that would fail to get into any other SL squad unless he is .

Mc Shane appears to be on his way. If so, yet another shambles of recruitment. Given a long term contract then discarded. Don't blame him for going.

Griffin/Moore. It would be harsh on Moore if he was shown the door but the pack needs bolstering. Although Kylie has had a good season it was wrong to give him another year.

Ambler can be let go as surplus to requirements.

Quote: thebloodbath "Costings on rugby league players is far from my best area of knowledge, but I'd presume Williams would come at a premium rate. Is the winger the best place to put it? A Furner type player would be far more needed IMO.

As for overseas signings, shame we haven't found the next mid-late 20's Kylie. To keep the wheels of evolution turning. When we signed Kylie he was far from a world beater in the NRL, played for a few clubs. His aggressive style and well known strength were qualities that we needed and need now. He didn't break the bank, just clever scouting. Maybe we need to work harder in this area.'"


Richie Fa'aoso? 28yo Newcastle Knights. Out of Contract End of 2012.

I agree about signing a prop like Kylie from the NRL. I remember at the time some fans not been overwhelmed because he was not a "big name" He's proved them wrong and has been a good signing. If we see the neeed surely Gary H also does and hopefully has something lined up. Posssiblly Moa?

Well what you see is what you get. Man mountain.

Gets up to speed for a big man quite quickly, his lines of runs are quite clever, likes getting to the side of the line of defence.

Having said that, soft-cock, gets banged far too easily. icon_wink.gif

Oh and nice to see a post from you that wasn't declaring all your juice to Keith Senior.

That's in the NRL though. Not as intense over here.....Right? a050.gif

Only because Big Keith isn't a Prop icon_wink.gif

Should bear in mind that in some respects Ben Cross was similar to Leuluai.....

Chances are if someone is available relatively cheap nowadays, there's a reason for it.
