It was mentioned at Weekend he was being released this week not sure where could have been at the game on Friday something to do with him not wanting to play for them again.

That can't be right can it cause Feka has been €rap this season hasn't he?

I still say he's not been as bad as some on here make out and until we can bring someone else in he'd been in my 17 every week.

If Madge didn't wanna play Feka this season then he should have signed Webb or Tronc instead cause O'Carroll just isn't good enough IMO and it makes things harder than they need to be for the team.

Also I'd be very happy with Shenton for next season. He looked good yesterday and he shocked me when he caught Pat late on in the first. We could do a lot worse than sign a current England centre with bags of potential and age on his side.

shenton would be a good signing but im yet to be convinced about his attacking qualities. Superb defensively but maybe playing in this current side would bring that out of him

The Star obviously don't know their right centres from their left - Gleeson and Shenton are both right centres.

whether the rumours regarding feka are true or not, things don't look good for him under madge, can't really see how he could be offloaded and an adequate replacement being found so early into the season. as for next season i wouldn't be against replacing feka and bailey, they are probably 2 of the higher paid players at the club. we definately need another quality prop to add to the squad along with gaz hock hopefully for next season.

there is a mixed attitude from our fans regarding feka, i personally think he doesn't earn his money as much as the other forwards do.

That must just be coincidence because hes hardly been on the field much. When he does play he doesnt last that long either. I think MM just wants his team super fit and i dont think Feka has made it to the standards the coach has set.

I got told at yesterdays game that Madge is trying to offload Feka and replace him with someone from the NRL that Madge has had his eye on for sometime.

Probably just BS, but like you I'm looking forward to seeing who we recruit. Adam Blair would be my pick if I had my way.

You're not the only one to have heard the above.

Any idea of the prop's name?

Re: Rumours and signings 2010 v1 : Mon Mar 22, 2010 11:01 pm  

The Shenton rumour did the rounds a few weeks ago, it was in the express. I would be more than happy with that, though if anyone wouldnt be, it would be Goulding.

A new prop in and Feka out would seem to make sense given Feka doesnt seem to be in favour. Celtic would make sense given Noble is there and they are still looking for players.

With Bailey, Carmont & possibly Bailey likely to go at the end of the season, our recruitment for next could be interesting.

Re Brough - If he has got himself in such a position, its easy to understand how he could be a disruptive influence, still, £150k is alot. How the heck can Hudds top that, Catalan possibly, but cant see how Hudds can.
