Which says heaps about our game ....

Didn`t Hodgson win West Tigers player of the year in his last year before coming over? I remember watching him play from around 05 to 08 and he just looked the same throughout, never looked to be on the decline, okay he was getting older but I still think he could have probably played another few years in the NRL at the level he was playing at.

Yes he could- but that’s not my original point.
Sezer could also easily play on in the NRL but my comment was in response to someone implying he wasn’t all that...

It’s certainly dragging on now. All our signings seem to do, except Gavet

I have yet to hear that the Giants have made any bid for Sezer it has all been paper talk or forum guessing as per usual.

Isn't that what forums are for. If we could only talk about news coming directly from the clubs themselves might it get a bit boring?
I would imagine that it would be a long and detailed process trying to get a quality half (who played in the NRL grand final & is still contracted in 2020) to persuade him & his current club to sign for us. We would also have to consider current overseas player quotas & the salary cap (unlike certain other clubs). If we can get this signing over the line I see him as a long term replacement for Danny going forward. It's that important to the club in my opinion.

If this signing somehow comes off I will be very optimistic For the season- if however we take leeds’ offer for leeming I’d see that as a very big backwards step in what the club should be looking to do going forward.

Woolford is back in Oz 58 and I have no doubt he has spoken to Sezer along with others but until he has signed the only people that truly know will be Woolford the Giants and the player himself anything else will be just wishes or guesses.

No doubt it wont happen, we never manage to get the good players, just like with Hastings it will go on and on and on, and then we wont sign him and will get someone from the lower leagues instead.
