Hopefully the lad we've supposedly already signied will come over and show his worth. Hopefully with a full pre season Hickey will show up a bit better as well.

Was gonna start a thread on him ( tongia ) but seen as youve mentioned him ill guess he'll be announced soon? suspect it wasnt as we didnt know the outcome of the licence

I have heard that he wont be coming anymore but i may well be wrong.

Michael Witt, Peter Fox, Mark Bryant, Ewan Dowes, and Jon Clarke please. Oh and a quality centre...

Clarke and Dowes are past it imo. They used to be pretty good players, but Im not too sure now. One year deals for the pair could be an option.

Witt is exactly what we have been screaming out for all season. Fox definately (although i dont think we would be the only ones looking), Dowes would do a job and adds experience as would Clarke and i would take Senior for a year provided the deal was right for us financially.
Bryant or Peek also from Cru but it depends on our o/s situation.

I suppose it also depends on who the club want/manage to retain.

All crusaders o/s players have been made quota exempt to help them find a club.

Not Peek, I'd prefer O'Hara.

Can't remember for who but I'm sure someone has already signed o hara.

I think widnes have been linked but dont think hes been announced anywhere

It was rumoured on twitter that Witt had signed for Harlequins, although Leeds and Wigan are apparently interested too.

Bryant has signed for another side

Just going on the basis of forums to find out who's OOC i'd go for the following;

Peter Fox, Eamon O'Carroll, Tyrone McCarthy, Dave Halley, Shad Royston

I'd talk to these players to see if they would be interested and find out what wages they'd be after;

Ray Cashmere (maybe retiring?), Ade Gardner, Leon Pryce, Danny Washbrook, Liam Fulton

Then i'd go all out for Andrew Ryan and Michael Witt, plus one of these from the NRL;

James Maloney, Preston Campbell, Matt Bowen, Rhys Wesser, Matt Utai

I haven't taken into account quotas and what not, just had a look at what is (apparently) available.

Speak to a few who have played against him and by all accounts Peek is a very tough competitor. Something we have been lacking a little up front this year

Fox and McCarthy good options. O,Carroll maybe.

Need one or two markee mid 20s signing from top 4 Sl clubs or NRL.

No seniors and players looking for last pay day. Yes we have rookies this year I'n Moriano, Johnson, Moore etc nut next year with a full pre season and second year we should see some improvement.
