There's a video of him getting sent off for fighting in an Under 20's match on Youtube if anyone's interested.

It's a strange one, Westsmade a request for special dispensation so he could make is debut because they were up to the cap, now they have told him he can look for another club... They are after Merrin so it may just be a case of trying to clear the decks, but he must have something about him for all the trouble Wests went to to get him to play?

Seems to be a few NRL clubs having a real overhaul of staff.

The game over here needs less imports not more!! And that's regardless of club btw.

Whilst agree on principle, clubs like Saints, Wigan and Leeds bring through enough British talent to go out and get imports when needed. Knowing McManus plan and vision for the club, if there was a good enough British alternative available he would go for them if the cap allowed.

Greenwood is a second row and Brown is a (rotund looking) prop? Unless your saying Greenwood is putting on 3 stone in the offseason! I actually wouldn't mind Greenwood putting on a few extra kilos and pushing forward to the front row, it might be the short term solution to our prop problem...

As for "less overseas" claims we've released 4 non-fed players this year and signed 2 - signing another one still leaves us moving in the right direction compared to a lot of clubs! Still we can't be as good as Wigans negotiating, signing Patrick and Brough from Huddersfield and all huddersfield get is Taylor on loan for 12 months

OK he is the obvious one and would demand a decent wage but he is a very talented player. I think Leeds were sniffing round him not too long ago.

Greenwood has covered us at prop before and done ok. A young Peter Shields in the making

Youtube video of the fat fake Nathan Brown just shows him being filled in, pretty embarrassing really. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=StnLNNU60uA

We already have Flanagan as an ex Wigan back row utility player, we don't need another in Allen. Gallen has played his best footy at 13? We have enough competition there without another back rower cum prop like laffranchi.

Gallen might have worn 13 but he's a prop - the blokes a tank with a great engine on him. He's also a winner and isnt scared of a bit of biff. I've love him in our team even if he wouldnt be a long term fix age wise. His current suspension is a farce
