When Pearson took over, he said the advantage RL had over football was the relative low transfer fees (not that there are many nowadays).
Maybe the fee for Chase won't scare him off.

The biggest thing we are missing is that one good youngster each year, just one, that becomes a first team regular. Makes recruitment so much easier and more focussed. Sadly in the last 3 seasons, we have had none. Hence why we appear to require almost half a team.

Spot on. We reallly are playing catch up for the inadequacies of the last regime.

id be happy with a front row of elima lynch ocarrol bowden watts. if moa stays fantastic if not then replace him with a big islander and we could match anyones pack
elima would be a great signing very good go forward and can offload and defense isnt to shabby either
i would not want kearney at fullback would not be any better then horne imo. mcdonnell for me and a new stand off is a must for next season horne to the bench

Then we should keep signings for only key members and promote the youngsters as cover.

We only need another 3/4 players.

1. Horne
2. Crookes
3. Arundel
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6.
7. Seymour
8.
9. Heremaia
10. Lynch
11. Tickle
12. Ellis
13. Whiting

Nicklas

I've posted this before, we've got plenty of room on the cap to sign 3 quality additions. We also need to sign a back up half's and a back up full back if the staff don't believe Lyne, Nicklas, Ellis (he's gone anyway) can do it.

I think we need 5/6 props. Lynch, NRL prop, Elima, O'carroll, Bowden & Watts. I'd be happy with that.

As for Kearney I don't rate him, as a fullback he's okay but as a stand off jesus christ no!!


Crookes will be the next one announced I would imagine.

You would be happy just hanging around 7th or 8th in the league then? Cos thats where we would be with a front row like that!

heard lovegrove done deal

Would be happy with those 5 props plus an NRL player, Elima (would rather sign Lovegrove) and Watts could also play in the backrow if needed.

FB and Stand off are the key. I certainly make a move for Mcdonnell, who I have to admit looked poor,but has been very impressive recently.

In

Mcdonell
NRL stand off
NRL prop
Crookes (although I'd rather keep Sharp)
Watts
Lovegrove
Ellis
Arundel

Out
Mckinnon
Turner
Sharp
Manu
O Meley
Ellis
Martin
Aspinwall
Moa

I'd be happy with that,always seems a handful,runs the ball with aggression and fits the mobile pack we seem to aiming for. Not shabby defensively either.
