What is the point of bringing Emma into this?

As far as I can see, Danny has made a very valid point in regards to Tingley Rhino’s post. I’m sure they’ll be plenty of others who’ll share Danny’s opinion that Tingley Rhino’s opinion is small minded and laughable.

However I don’t personally agree with Danny’s points because I believe that watching someone play two games for a top NRL side is more than enough to judge his quality. Back that up with the history and Tingley Rhino makes a good point.

Its called debate and there’s no need to drag Emma into this.

Gonna wait and see what he settles in like, i have seen plenty of players in the Nrl who I haven't thought looked good and have gone well in Sl, and vica versa.

But I agree that I have seen him a fair bit and not been overwelmed, but we shall see.

Well I’m hoping that The Sleeve will announce another marquee signing soon because the way I see it now we have a weaker squad than last year.

Speedster and Dream Team regular Donald out.
World Class and current NZ international Eastwood out.
32 year old ex Origin/NRL Cross in.
19 rear old current Championship Hardaker in (but on loan to Fev for next season).

I reckon we still have enough space under the cap for another top draw signing so come on Gary don’t disappoint.

I've resided to the fact that we won't sign anyone else, mainly because there is nobody else out there now out of contract.
Hardaker is one for the future and could easily be world class with the right coaching.
We could do with a fast centre, and move Delaney to second row..

Why? Cross had a contract? plenty of nrl players have clauses to leave and clubs have such strength in depth that they often let them. take sika Manu for instance. He has a year on his storm contract but due to reduced terms has been told he can leave if he can get a better deal.

I would take Sika Manu, i think Adam Blair has teh same clause as well
If we sign anyone it will probably be Weller Hauraki..

Shame, he would be class at Leeds :/, i think one more signing maybe by start of next season, and it will more than likely be weller hauraki unless we lose Diskin

Will be interesting to see if we get anyone else, as i don't think Hetherington has signalled an end to our activity in the market.

true, but they may well be salary capped up, and it depends what was on offer.

I wonder who else Buderus has recommended?
The Maori winger who faced Hall looked lively.

On a positive note, we could well have starting props where one will be cross and the other just fecking angry!
