I've heard we're also looking at a centre, I don't know whether this is the same one or in addition to the 'marquee' signing.

I really hope we're giving serious consideration to Omari Caro. He was highlighted by Phil Clarke on Boots n all this week for his performance against Catalans. Hard working, fast as lightning and seems to have that natural athletic talent that can make a player exceptional. He seems a perfect Brown project to me, building up the other areas of his game.

Anyone heard anything else about the Saints player handing in a transfer request? Struggling to think who this marquee signing could be with a full quota...

What are the rumours?
What are the likely scenarios:
Overseas player homesick? Any of the Ockers, probably the ones that could get a decnt last contract in Aus
Young player not getting a fair/decent chance? Gaskell,Foster or even Wheeler?

What are these marquee signings that people keep talking about? Those days are long gone. The last ones were Jamie Lyon and Trent Barrett about six years ago. We are in the age of the salary cap and marquee players come from growing your own.

So, are we classing Manu and Turner as our 'marquee signings' for next season? Really?

I am still awaiting the promised announcement of this season's marquee signing to grace the new ground.

Marquee signings don't have to be from the NRL. Would Danny Brough be big enough to be classed in that category?

Where did this rumour come from? How much substance has it got?

I don't see us making any more signings. We've consistenty reduced the quality of the squad each season, be it in terms of quality of players in and out or volume. That won't change and I can only think of Flannery and Dixon who are leaving this season, so I don't think we'll do any more business bar possibly shedding 2 or 3 like Gaskell, Wheeler and Foster.

If we had any ambition we'd be cutting Meli and Wello and replacing them with backs from outside the club.
