Don't forget at times this season at Saints Potter had fat boy, Roby and Scott Moore all in his 17 man squad.

Not a player to ever catch my eye TBH. 3 years seems a bit long?

Should do a job though.

Didn't he get injuried playing for france the other week?

thats one off check boxes on the bulls job application form ticked off then.

I told you all he was coming.

Hmmmmm I was sold Sunday 12th September that he'd signed for us, so why the delay in getting this in the public domain? viewtopic.php?f=17&t=470728&start=0

mick as I told you by txt, you were bound to guess one right eventually. Off the top off my head over last few months you've also told us we've definitely signed

chris flannery
francis meli
leon pryce
luke robinson
thomas bosc
willie mason
ewan dowes
kyle briggs
kurt gidley

and those are just the more memorable ones you've come out with. you've guessed 10 players and got 1 right so far. Hardly somthing to boast about

Godwin is poor.

Diskin is a strange signing, for a variety of reasons. Been fairly poor for Rhinos this year, predominantly because he's not as effective as an interchange hooker. For him to be signed for this role at a club, which let's face it, is far poorer, indicates his financial offer must have been pretty good.

With 3 hookers on the roster, it's a strange one and a clear indication that either Wagga is moving on or either or into another position, namely 7. Which seems slightly odd.

Very strange one all round.

we're making assumption there that diskin will be the bench hooker though. Although my preference would be for l'estrange to start we shouldnt forget that he was always a bench hooker at manly. Maybe he actually prefers that role?.

like you say though cant see us keeping 3 hookers on roster purely as hookers. A few clubs have 3 hookers on the books but the 3rd is usually a young academy product on relatively little money. If diskin move goes through we have 3 who are SL level (admittedly godwin probably wouldnt command a starting spot anywhere but would certainly get a bench role somewhere in SL). Ones going to be playing in halves or moving on imo.

Not sure you'd give someone a three year deal just to provide competition, more like you have something more definite in mind. Whether this means Potter intends to use one of his 'hookers' in the halves is something only he knows of course, but I'd suspect it was a likely, if not exactly welcome, outcome. There are still far too many ifs and buts surrounding our halves for next season and the position isn't improved by a gutless number seven who won't publicly commit one way or the other but, apparently, continues to offer his services all round the antipodes.

Maybe the club DO know what is going on, but haven't announced it (well, it won't help ticket sales will it?) and are trying to work round it, who knows. We just have to hope the coach does have a plan and he's driving it through.

It's certainly out of left field, I guess it may all make sense when we see what else is in the pipeline.

IMO Diskin is better than Godwin. As I said I can see him becoming our starting No9.

More the fact that we offered him a 3 year deal and the Rhinos only gave him 1 year from what I understand, rather than the amount of money.

Dear god.
