| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "In terms of letting Beaver go to play against us for someone else, how gutting will that be, the comparisons with the massive blunder to absurdly let Morrison go are obvious.
My other pet hobby horse is my belief that Menzies will go on to be a real top coach, and I had been hoping against hope that he could start that journey at Odsal. Potter and Menzies sounds like some combination to me. Personally, I am gutted.
If I try to think this through dispassionately, I come to the conclusion that whilst nothing has been said, this can ONLY be to allow us to sign a top centre or halfback from Aus. Because nothing else makes sense to me, I really don't see how we could justify letting Menzies go far ANY other reason. And so that's what I'm putting my money on.
And I am glad we seem to be persisting with hall, as I and others have said many times, he owes us a big season, and he is capable of giving us a big season.'"
the reason we lett morro go was because he was picking up injurys that left him on the sidelines for lengthy spells and he was on the quota.....similarly with solomona |

Yet Most people would have either back over Hall.

I agree with all that, and if the quota apot is not used on a real top quality player, I will be really disappointed with Potter.
As for Steve being a coach, i'd hoped that too, maybe one day he'll return to us as head coach!! |

Somebody needs to come up with a list of OOC NRL halfbacks/centres so we can begin the speculation! (and maybe just cheer ourselves up a little)

SSM, have you seen Solomona this season? He'd be alot more use to us than Hall has been, even though i'm still hoping for a huge second season from him.

Fine in a winning team, where the other forwards are making yards, but he'd have been no good for us - can you imagine Worrincy trying to read those offloads? |

That list looks quite out of date to me. Lot's of players on there have resigned or changed clubs.
I've got a feeling that we may end up with Mat Rogers for a year.

He'll give away too much possession in that case. |

Considering the way he plays, I'd be surprised if Worrincy could read the teamsheet. |

In your opinion. But what I have always said is that IF we got rid of Morrison "because he is injury prone", then that would be really dumb, as he was not. Whatever the reason, I said at the time it was a big mistake (and so did a lot of others), and it has turned out to be a big mistake. How we could have done with Morro this season. |

Gotta back Potter on this one. I imagine Bever will be highly paid and if we can recruit two good players for the same and even the balance of the team then it needs to be done. Steve Mac left us severly under strength in a lot of areas and it neds to be fixed ASAP.
