You honestly think melbourne will let him go just before the season starts and that he would want to come ?

I did say someone like Cronk!!

There's a strong rumour that a deal was done with someone at the beginning of December and we're just waiting for the visa. We did allow Berro to leave just before the season starts, if we've done that why wouldnt other clubs? (if the price is right)

Not a clue mate. Wouldnt surprise me though. Would be great if the player was announced and then arrived at the same time.

not even berro and burnetts salary combined would be anywhere near what cronk would expect??

I'd take a reserve grade 7 on a season long loan if it gives us options. A 20 year old future star would be nice.

widdop?

I'd take him great potential and will have been well schooled at Melbourne. Doubt we'd get him though.

This is what I mean probably got about 200k or just over, I was speaking to a friend who knows Burnett and he reckons he was on 50k don't believe that myself, but that sort of money wouldn't get us a top half. I agreed with dave we are probably better off getting a reserve grade with potential for now, but we certainly need some half cover.

Thought he was going to be playing first grade at Melbourne this season?

lined up as the starting 6 last time I heard anything, personally I dont see what all the fuss is about with widdop had one good game against a very weak French team, and showed how average he was in the four nations.

Burnett's basic would be less than 20k, heavily weighted with win bonuses and appearances fees.

Pity Greenshields and to a extent Mathers arent still available if we are looking at a F/B.

You could level that at every member of the England squad, we were collectively sh/te. I reckon if he's good enough to have a place in the Melbourne squad they see something in him.
