Probably awaiting visa clearance before announcing the signing.

I heard he was waiting for an offer from a top team before committing.

Most likely scenario.

thats what I was thinking too. cant help but wonder though, as the interview quoted was a few weeks back and hoods statement about us not being interested is more recent, If hes failed to get a visa inbetween and we're now scrambling for a replacement.

Hopefully not but I wouldn't be surprised.

yep wouldnt be supprised if its because of visa we havent annouce signing of chris walker

know eric grothe jr is in talks with a super league club would love to sign him as think hed do well

And speaking of delayed announcements, what about Jarryd Hayne? Or is there now a slight doubt that he may not actually be coming?

We should sign him before the Tri-Nations because once people see him play other clubs may be interested.
I'm just trying to lighten the depressing mood - OK?

I heard we'd turned our attentions to Greg Inglis, Jonathan Thurston and Benji Marshall instead. I also heard that Des Hasler is coming over to assist Macca along with Wayne Bennett who's going to assist Basil with the U20s.

Can anyone find a positive in the signing of Sculthorpe please?


I'd rather have signed his brother.

It lowers expectations for the season, which may mean you oevr-achieve

Not quite a positive, but good try. Maybe its just to give the other clubs something else to laugh at?

What were people's opinions on Reardon? He was cracking for your first time round. If got on a pay as you play, or relatively cheaply could be a good signing

I think, because he'll be cheap, and it's only a 1 year contract its a good deal for both parties. If he can recapture some kind of form, then great, if not, bye bye after 2010.

ok how about, you can be guarunteed to go down with a fight (and a suspension to follow)
