Thorman and Long half backs next year then

Heard that too and i hope its just wishful thinking on their behalf or a load of .
Berrigan is a (world) class act as we all know but so is (or potentially will be) Houghton,
give Houghton a proper chance at 9 with Lee as his backup, i'm sure he will do an excellent job and that position could be filled for years ala Cunningham, not just for the next couple of seasons.
Play Berrigan in the centres or just let him go to free up massive cap space for another centre if Agar think he can get a better one in than him.
its all about cap space and future planning and imo this would be a good step to take.

With that new look pack and 4 additional signings, with Long at 7 i can see us having a really good 2010. 2011 may be even better depending who we follow up and sign that year. We are only a 7 away from been competetive this season, imagine when we have a brand new 'mean' pack?

come out of your backside

He won POTY in his first season though so he has hardly been a failure.

Nope - wouldn't class the source as my backside...

Like most rumours some are true and others as just rumours - guess only time will tell.
