At the end of 2006 season (prior to 2007) we were linked with a number of huge names. It seemed Lenegan was trying to mold out his club.
Sadly none of them came off. Dan Stains woz God has mentioned O'Loughlin, Stooper mentioned Hape and the other two names at the time were McGuire and Lesley Vainakolo. We had already Had we even got half these names things could have been a lot more enjoyable in the pitch in recent seasons.
Ronnie Quin (who sometimes posts on here) and used to write for the website using the pseudonym “The Guv'nor” stated we contacted Brad Fittler and Steve Menzies were approached prior to the 2005 season, along with one other high profile name, which escapes me entirely. I think it was a prop though.
Edit Robbie Kearns.
I believe we also took a good look at Clint Newton and Matt King as well.
As for Andrew Johns, i think we made a big offer to him the season after his loan move to Wolves. but i believe he had decided on one more year in NRL before making up his mind, but due to injuries decided to retire instand.
