We are looking at him as our back up half back apparently.

Don't know whether to think good or bad! Good for Wakey, but only played the one game for Huds hasn't he?

You just been told this from an informed mate or what?

Played well against us at our place at start of season

why blow our quota spot on a part time Aussie half back when we could get somebody from the championship for half the price if we are supposed to have one lined up for 2012 and then we could go after a quality Aussie centre on a two or three year deal now for 2011 to allow Sharp to shine and assist.
Look what Gidley and previously Lyons did for Gardner.

Because we got the quota spot late and quality aussies aren't out of contract and lined up ready to join. We'll have that in Berrigan however should he play next year.

personally i would rather leave the quota spot free rather than filling it just because we can.
I appreciate the visa process takes some time, but you never know who becomes available for one reason or another as the season progresses. If we keep the spot free, then it will put us in posistion 'a' to get the released player.

Are we looking at this Briggs from fev? or is it people supposedly in the know just assuming we are interested

If we are looking at Briggs I would hope it would be as a project and we sign a scrum half too, he's a talented lad but from what I've seen no means a playmaker, he has a couple of other good pivots at that level around him at Fev who take a lot of responsibility off him
so he can play his natural game, I don't think he would be able to give us what we need direction wise from stand off at Sl level, especially as we play with an extra front rower instead of a 13.

then people would complain we took a cheap option,,,, sigh

if we are gonna blow what is left on our cap with a prop and a hb i would have to think the hb wont be just back up.we surely wouldnt spend big on just a squad player

Ive heard from 2 different people now, neither really talk about signings but they said he could be the man coming in.

Just thought id put it on here incase someone else has heard his name float around

Wouldn't be too dissapointed with him, would prefer Briggs just on terms of his age and progression for seasons further then next.

We'll see then eh.

Is he predominantly a SO ? I've seen his name on the team sheet many times but I can't honestly say that I've noticed if he's any good or not.
