Amor will be one of them, Taylors uncle i spoke to tonight, defiantly 1 million precent leaving kr, watch this space he said, and his uncles as big as an fc fan as us, said he might even let him in his house now haha

If we've signed 7 wouldn't that mean where still after 2 more? A prop and a half?

So it's still the 6 (Ellis, Arundel, Crookes + 3) and Holdworth?

So 5 players we don't know about, 2 props, half, back rower and a fb/half cover?

if the hdm have got it right, and holdsworth chase are our 6 n 7 for 2013. then dose that put us firmly in the top bracket of half back partnership combinations in SL???

Class!!

NRL FB/Horne
Lineham/Crookes
Crooks/Arundel
Yeaman
Briscoe
Chase/Wildie
Holdsworth/Nicklas
Lynch/Amor/Bowden
Houghton/Heremia/Cunningham
Watts/NRL prop/Green
Westerman/Kent
Ellis/Tickle (Or relacement)
Whiting/Pitts/Brown

I'd be very happy with that squad.

There will be a couple of players also that will be promoted to FT also, maybe Shaul and Ryan Wilson.

Theres 8 players in that squad that haven't been made official yet.

Without a doubt

When have the HDM ever got it right though? I still think Chase will not get clearance.
Both would be great mind you!!

TBF they say there is no smoke without fire and a lot of the stories they have "broken", have materialised eventually.
I think we have a tendency to look at the ones that don't happen and focus on them.

And no, I don't work for them and I'm not James Smailes' Dad

Don't think Bateman is done, think he has agreed terms but will wait and see what happens with Bulls.

Four props looking like Lynch, Watts, Taylor and Amor.

Think we will only see one NRL signing at fullback.

I hope you are right Paul and we get Taylor if not I feel that we would have to look to the NRL.

If the Bulls survive and stay in SL, then we wont get either Bateman or Whitehead and again will either have to keep Tickle or look to the NRL for a replacement.

If you are correct then we have a very good squad with a very young British feel about it, our only overseas players would be Chase, Holdsworth, FB and Heremia, compared to the 7 we have at the moment.
