That is poetic!!

There WILL be at least one new half.. maybe two.

I'm not going to name names, as it's quite sensitive and this could affect the signings etc but we'll definitely have another half on the way

Is it likely to be a 6 or a 7? or are we likely to get a former full back who has done a good job in the halves?

Thanks guys, i'm sure we will be paying the fee, i hope we pay it, it doesn't count under the salary cap, we are very keen to get him here because we need an experienced half, our 5/8 Terry Campese done his knee in the finals and will be out till mid next year,

There was a rumor this week that Bradford and Orford had come to terms with us at Canberra and there is going to be an announcement early next week, but who knows anymore, its dragging on to long.

Thankyou Paul, i have trust in your sources over many people on here and that has cheered me up on what has been a dry spell for 'Rumours'

thats good enough for me. I'll take one of pauls 'rumours' over any of the self proclaimed experts on here any day of the week.

Reading between the lines (and using a fair amount of imagination and guesswork) Paul's suggestion looks to me like some form of player exchange - that being much more sensitive than 'just' a player coming in.

I'm going for that seemingly mental Chase/Hall/Godwin/Olbison rumour being bang on the money. And on that basis, I'm off to start drinking.

Cant see godwin going anywhere, potter was talking about what he expects of him next year.. altho id love to be proven wrong

maybe godwin on loan though? he isnt going to get in team ahead of l'estrange and diskin if both fit. so maybe a loan deal until l'estrange leaves at end of year ( and that assumes l'estrange doesnt sign an extension and godwin does).

Put yourself in cas's shoes

would you take 2 average loan players and a quota player who couldnt even get into a 10th placed team... in exchange for your star halfback

didnt think so

I think it would probably depend on where the balance of your squad needed strengthening.

It would probably also depend on what else you could get for your star halfback.

And on what your star halfback wanted. If you were Chase would you want to stay at a club that had just lost its 2 brightest young talents and had recruited pretty much nothing comparable in return?

I don't know the answers to any of these but they are all considerations for all parties involved.
