Said at the time he left Bradford I'd have been happy to sign him, big unit who plays big minutes.

Hopefully they will stick with Krasniqi at 13, just get the feeling that's his ideal position.

Would be a good signing.

Will feel happier when we've actually announced some names though.

If all the "rumoured" signings come off,Kopczak,Masila,Buchanan,Flanagan,then the pack is certainly starting to look fairly decent once you add those names to the ones we know are staying.All at a good age and are not going to cost a fortune on the cap.I am hoping for big improvements from the Walnes,especially in their discipline side of the game,Krasniqi,Griffin,Forster,Menzies all young and open to any amount of improvement with Sheens guiding them along.Would like to see Hauraki really step up as one of the older more experienced heads but with his links to Chase who knows how that will pan out.With Lee and Hood interchanging at hooker then i think we have the makings of a decent pack.As always seems to be the case in recent years i guess a lot will depend on how well the coaching staff can get the team to gel but with a distinct lack of egos within this group i am guessing that might prove easier than past years.

Alan Hunte seemed to be suggesting that Menzies was being released on the radio yesterday...I guess time will tell...

They admitted later it was a bit of a misprunt.

Can't see them releasing Menzies he didn't play last year due to injury and looked a very promising prospect.
Just the type of prop we need.

So what forwards would that give us;

Props
G Griffin
D Griffin
Maslia
Menzies
Kopczak
Walne

Backrow
Hauraki
Flanagan
Lannon
Forester
Kalinqsui
Walne

'Kalinqsui'

I didn't realise we'd signed someone from Finland.

Krasniqi / Kalinqsui........what's an extra R, L, U and in totally the wrong order between friends

Was going to start bumping on about the "spelling police" are out in force today, but then checked how far off the mark I was haha!

Krasniqi I presume we'll be offering a contract to .

Luke Menzies , Sheens wanted in the side so he could have a good look at him on Sunday . So a decision hadn't been taken . He knows he's been unlucky this season with injury .

rumour mill again runnning monaghan and o brien just penned deals

Everyone seems to be forgetting or obv doesn't watch nrl that BM-M is a top quality loose forward when he's fit

Murdoch Maslia has only played 6 games for Panthers in 2 years! Been injured since he joined.
Played 52 games though for Wests looks ok on utube.....but then so did Bebe at Utd.

Wonder what Chris Borgese is doing these days.
