Whilst it's massively important to make sure you sign quality players next year there is simply no room for error.

As Tricky Dicky said:

Carmont
Coley
Hoffman
Deacon
Gleeson
+ the biggest loss with Madge

Simply that's a massive chunk of talent and leadership walking out the door. All apart from Hoffman had key roles in last years success and Hoffman is top draw as well.

We need to sign players of this calibre next season or we WILL fall behind quickly.

Potentially add in Roberts to that equation who will be on no small wage and it looks like we may have a huge chunk of change left over.

2 top signings plus upgrades for the youth?

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Wed Jun 08, 2011 5:22 pm  

I dont think 2 top draw signings will be enough. Its 3 minimum for me, at very least a centre, a halfback who can play 6 or 7 and a forward

I'm hopeful Joe Mellor can step up next year. If Tommy were to leave then I think we'd need a top class hooker/7, but apart from that it'd be 2 centres or a centre and a 2nd rower (depending on Joel, who I would like to try and centre for the rest of the year)

Will be on a fair wedge id expect, does this add flames to the king rumors?

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:26 pm  

King and Anderson are the rumours going round, King is looking for an Aus club but there doesn't seem to be much interest so another SL club may come in for him, whereas strong rumours linking Anderson to Catalans, i've read on the Oz forums that Waterhouse is looking for £400k

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:27 pm  

Louis anderson and solomona are leaving so probably not

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Wed Jun 08, 2011 6:28 pm  

Solo doesn't count on the quota

He shouldn't be allowed to demand that at the tender age of 31!
