I'd be amazed if we signed a current origin or test player, it's simply not our style, then again not many come over here in their prime to anyone. If it's a test level player then we'd be more likely to get a kiwi.

Incidentally once Solomona goes it'll be the first time we've not had a Kiwi in the team since 1986 IIRC.

Now Netherton could be the replacement for Newton, unless Wakey have anyone to offload. Then again Rinaldi fits the bill. He's an average sort of player who's not interested any of the top teams. Sounds perfect

We can't seriously be considering going into 2010 with Julien Rinaldi and Wayne Godwin as our hookers.

That would further compound the misery if Burgess was to leave in 2010 aswell.

No it's Godwin and Netherton. A partnership to strike fear in to all of the Pennine League.

Is this serious? Netherton, that little barrell from Cas?

I seriously hope not but the way the club is going who knows.

I'm pretty sure it's a wind up. But if it were true it'd be laughable.

James Roby is coming to us. You mark my words.

To replace Newton we need an experienced player with a good rugby brain. Somebody mentioned Lestrange from Manly. Wouldn't be too disappointed with that, but I can't help thinking we'll have Rinaldi/Godwin for next season until someone better gets available.

Chad Randall is one of the best and smartest hookers in the league IMO. Shame we won't get him.

Hope we sign Craig Wing but doubt we will. My choice of Hookers would be...

1. Chad Randall - Quins
2. Matt Diskin - Leeds
3. Scott Moore - Saints

In that order, we dont want none of Drew, Obst, Rinaldi, Netherton or any other e.

Would that be for 4 mins?

Agree with that. If Wing signs for us I will eat 2 hats and a shoe. My shopping list would have to be a Hooker (I agree with what you have said) a Halfback and a centre. Then Sykes can cover for injury etc.

Is T.J. Hooker available? He has a proven track record of winning every week.
