You don't?

I would say so. Close mind.

I've seen Broughton's pace and he's clearly one of the fastest in SL. I haven't seen Sharp's alleged pace yet , indeed he's been run down on occasions. But yes I think Broughton is significantly faster than Sharp.

I would have liked us to have signed Aaron Murphy but he's gone to Hudds now

Im not Will sharp's biggest fan and think broughton is marginally better but would rather we use the cap on what is needed. A forward or two is needed at this time , then our squad would look alot more balanced .

Manu Tuilagi is rumoured to have a number of SL clubs after signing him?!

I agree with you, at the time I'd rather have kept Broughton than sign Sharp, and in hindsight that would have been the correct decision, but the upgrade wouldn't be significant enough to make it a worthwhile use of cap space now, unless we somehow managed to offload Sharp.

I'm not averse to seeing how Sharp gets on next year with some proper coaching and a proper (albeit very average) centre inside him.

i`ll just be glad for the club to add an additional forward to the squad and announce that the squad is complete so we can concentrate on the build up to next season, i can`t believe that Sika Manu is oput of contract and we havn`t made a move for him, he would cover both front & 2nd row and would be the ideal addition to our squad in my opinion.

Well it is the rumour thread

Although I think he'd make a good league player, wages might well be an issue

Also SBW and Quade Cooper will be signing for us in 2013 and we will be anouncing MT in the coming weeks.

Is Martin? Is the centre position that important? The Grand Final winners had Ablett playing there

No , But neither is Tony Martin. Murphy would have been a good long term investment for the club. but not a signing we need right now.
