Back line is what I meant to say.

ah right fair enough. well yes that could do with some major improvements.

btw i have heard that lockyer has signed for the pies for next year.

They have just signed Tim Smith, and already have Leuluai and Tomkins, surely they wont use best part of there cap on him.

its just what ive heard. will have to wait and see.

Good, we should stay well clear of any overseas players on their last legs.

You have heard wrong then

A couple of weeks ago he was in contact with Terry Matterson at cas - Probably nothing whatsoever to do with a deal or anything - So i asked my source in australia who would know - And he said Locky was hoping to play a big part in the world cup and is going to see out the last year of his contract in the NRL

I've heard that we're talking to Chris Thorman about him joining us next year.

Not top class but better than Rooney and a decent Harris replacement if it comes off.

Please God NO. I'd rather keep Harris.

He's decent.. but I want to hear about centre's and wingers first!! Surely we cannot be looking at Nero and Tupou as one of our starting partnerships for next year?

Give Tupou a decent centre next year and actualey play to his strengths and he'll go very well. People need to realise he's not the same type of player as Lesley.

I rate him as better than Iestyn. He'd do a job and if it freed up cash to spend on some class for the threequarters it'd be a good move.

So long as we play him outside someone decent rather than Sykes or Nero!
