Griffin is very unhappy in that having sorted out a new deal with Leeds we have said 'don't be daft of course we want a transfer fee you are still on contract until 2012' I guess we would want a decent fee or player exchange as leeds do with Buderus..... or he stays with us..hence no announcement it would now make sense....

We have agreed deals with Flower (young welsh prop) & Chan from the Crusaders.

There is a big announcement due about a marqué signing Thursday or onwards of this week

LOD is trying to get an irish passport..... sounds daft...... but !!

I suspect the reason there has been no announcement re griffin is because It's pre tamper deadline

Civoniceva or Gallen

luke getting an irish passport is wrong!!! we all moaned when willie mason tried it on, we should not be going down this road if the news is true... civoniceva has returned to brisbane for family reasons next season

Well the league weekly and the league express confirm Chan, suggest our interest in Flower and say Griffin is off to Leeds but only subject to resolving a transfer issues..... the little birdie is on 100% thus far.....

Civoniceva is far too old to consider as a signing as good a player that he is.

I don't have a problem with O Donnell coming off the quota if it frees up space for a top quality player.

If Chan is coming and this deal was sorted a few weeks back then the club will surely have assumed he would be quota. As he will now be exempt then does this mean we have a spare space on the quota.

ah yes intresting point on the quota spot with chan

gallen wont be coming to giants

It is obvious a player like Gallen will not leave Australia but there must be some decent players available.

Fooey shouldn't be on it as he's married a Huddersfield girl which exempts him hence the new contract despite the potential new Visa issue problem for his GBH conviction which is circumnavigated by his marriage to an english girl....

maybe we should go for josh morris, the nsw origin and australian intl who is currently playing nsw cup footy as he carnt get a start in the poorly performing bulldogs team due to a good ex toyota cup player having a few good games

good shout but are there any big props out there we should be looking at

Anywhere in the back line as i remember, would be good at centre but i would prefer a prop

Shannon McPherson that signed for crusaders is a decent prop and will be available now only in his mid 20s as well so could be an option
