Not sure many others would either mate. But remember, those of the TIW Board were born with the passive ability to seek out and mentally destroy players with unheard of weaknesses.

We could sign the likes of Bowen, Thurston, Slater...the list goes on...and they would still find something wrong with it.

=#FF0000GODS HELP US ALL!

Hope not sign Long as past it and injury prone.We need to sign players in mid to late twentys with a will to win and a mix of youth.Look at Saints this year and Wigan.

unearthing another Gem on Sunday in Gareth O Brien.

then We'll pick some more from our Academy u20's who sit top of the league or our under 18's who havent been beaten yet.

remind me who's coming through to replace James Graham and Kyle Eastmond are they coming via your Academy or Quantas....

Congratulations. I'll not bother naming all of our youngsters, it will take me too long, we've got 22 home grown under 21's in our squad.

anyway back on topic no mention of Widnes or any Superleague club in this piece on Blair in the Sydney Morning Herald...

I heard that Adam Blair was approached, but turned us down.

I seem to recall at an awards evening last year, Terry O'Connor stated that he didn't want to sign hasbeen Aussies or people that are coming for their payday. I guess only time will tell if he is sticking to that. Obviously there will have been some negotiations down under. It wouldn't surprise me if people were already tapped up.
I've heard a few names spouted about from the NRL and Super League.

The likes of:

Brent Webb,
Ali Lua'ititi,
Mark Flanagan,
David Solomona,
Jonathan Thurston,
Aaron Heremia,
Shaun Briscoe,
...
...
...
Grey Viane,
Brad Drew,
Maxime Gresque.

:
We will sort that out today!

32 - 20 ft can't say your unbeaten in the 18's anymore. Well played lads. Wire 15's and 16's won, much bigger sides good day out.

my head really would explode if we signed thurston

not very likely, but bloody hell! my brain would overload!
