He would have cost us a fortune, still hoping we can get a big wrecking maxhine in.....or a sold aggressive prop with a good work rate at least.

After a tremendous win like yesterday’s one, surprised the club haven’t released some good news.. whilst the fans are all giddy with excitement

Probably waiting for permission from Abe Froman

Are you suggesting there is good news to release?

Has Abe heard anything about Drinkwater joining FC on loan for the rest of the season?

See some good news from the club if true

Not sure a season long loan is a wise move, he’ll be a very handy replacement….unless we think Powell can cover it along with Ratchford…..and as long as Okunbor doesn’t come the other way!!

I would let him go. When you say he’ll be handy for them? Has he been handy for us? he’s been garbage. If we get an injury or suspension in the halfs then we can always use Ratchford or even Powell.

I’d be happy with that he’s not settled well at all with us. We would have cover I guess if true;

Hayes
Stef
Powell
Currie - 2019 CC final

Although Drinkwater has been a flop so far, and won't be getting a contract again, we haven't really had chance to see how he plays under Burgess. He might be handy cover should one of Hayes or Williams get injured, and his kicking game was always fairly decent.

It’s evidence to support the progress made of late, particularly with the current mentality of “next man up”, that we can release Kasiano, Dwyer, Dudson and potentially Drinkwater without panic buying. Particularly when you look at the number of injuries and suspensions that we’ve had.

It puts us in a good position to recruit for next year.

Can`t see Tai being kept for next year, so that would give us 3 Overseas Quota Players vacancies we could use.

The way the kids are playing with potentially more emerging too, I don`t think we will use all of our Quota opportunities.

I`ll be surprised and a little disappointed if we fail to sign another prop for this season though.

The CC final hbs were Patton & Hughes.
Although some media had Currie down as hb.

I have heard that "signing players like Kassiano and Dudson are a thing of the past" they are the two names that was mentioned. Not entirely sure what that means, age related? attitude related? playing style? No idea, but i can only think its positive neither player excelled for us. I do believe we are looking closer to home in regards to recruitment

I’ve said before that we ought not to be signing players over the age of 27/28, unless it’s a season only needs must deal.
I don’t apply that to extension of contracts in some cases.
