For those who can spin this one - good luck. Beaver may be older than most, and being such a prolific try scorer in the NRL does not guarantee a contract now, but a possible repetition of Morrison-gate with Menzies would leave a sour taste.
On top of that - Salford gazzumping us because 'they are going places' is absolutely ridiculous (the only place they are going is likely the Championship in 18 months time, reckon that some of the players going there want little weight of expectation).
I will always support the Bulls home and away regardless of who is signed / not signed, and am looking forward to seeing us kick the Saints tomorrow, and yet this one must have us all baffled. Arguments for a quota spot and salary saving are fine, but the club's silence on any signings (leaked rumours at least) do not settle the nerves.

A 10 point win for us tomorrow night with Scrutes, Kearney and Crookes in. COYB!

looking at how well Menzies has performed (we did not expect anything other tho from a living legend). Can you imagine how good he must have being to watch week in week out when he was in his prime!
Love to see him stay like I would have Morrison, but it is a business and if there is a better long term solution avilable this off season then we should take it. BUT I would hate to see us replace him with an average player who is not going to give you the same as Beaver.

Totally agree with that. If it turns out to be a quality stand off, allowing Kearney to play in his best position of full back, or even another class centre to go with Chev Walker, then it would have to be regarded as a progressive move by the club.

Beaver had a son named Harper Mackie Menzies. For those of you who don't know Steve's grand father was Mackie Campbell who played in Manly's inaugural team way back in 1947

Good for the beaver clan. Hope they are all well

If he is in Oz wonder if he will be back for Wigan on Friday?

He did say he would be in an earlier report.
