i would seriously dangle a decent amount of money in front of Darren Lockyer as we need that type of player who would be a constant threat to a team like St Helens.

Either would be great signings but I just can't see Lockyer either coming to GB yet (if ever) or being released by Brisbane.
I think Burrow signed a long term contract not long ago at Leeds but with a new coach coming in and Gary Hetherington being the only man ever to make money out of running a rugby league club he may be tempted by a big transfer fee. I would certainly be happy with Burrow.
What is clear is that the market is not awash with quality, let alone available, half-backs. I would therefore be tempted to blow the big money we will have spare on a bid for Buderus and look at a more "safe" vfm signing who could cover half-backs and other positions possibly, such as Matt Geyer.
If it is a half-back we are going to go for as an import then perhaps Sherwin or Gower may be available and are generally considered good NRL players.
