Said on the Gledhill thread that we'd end up going for a short-term fix like him if Ben left so it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Neither would it please me, he's so far past it its ridiculous. As has been said, we may as well keep Korkidas.

what do you mean may as well. think the guy has done a great job for you this year. from what i heard , played through injury and never takes a step backwards. wakefield through and through. why the hell would you want fozzy? he would have been at the crusaders if they hadn't have folded. ewan dowes is another one i have heard mentioned. offers no more than you have already got. i would definitely stick with korki for another year, especially now that i have heard from a really good source that hickey may not be coming back. as i have said before don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Qantas making him buy two seats or something?

Re: Fozzard : Mon Aug 29, 2011 12:44 pm  

he wouldn't be my choice but I'm not going dis the club if he does come

he needs to be on a pay as you play as no other contract would be worth his money, also if you watch his latest games you find he hasn't the impact that he had years ago so his value aint going to be sky high.

the two factors he does have is he adds weight to the pack and has experience

I would still be looking else where

I'd be extremely disappointed if Fozzard signed for us. I'd support him but I don't think that would be very often as he seems to be injured more times than not, really would be an uninspired signing.

'As well' because as far as I know we haven't offered him a contract. Yet he'd be a better bet than Fozzard. Hence we may as well keep him instead.

He seemed to be intent on staying over here close season and working on his fitness and has a year left on his contract. If he does the first part we would have a good player on our hands. If we get shut, then due to the 2nd part it will cost us money.

Would hope if Hickey does go, were not planning to replace him with Fozzard, as that (as an indicator) would concern me about the overall quality of the squad we will have next year

Awfull signing. This is the type of signing that we've made in the past.
We're supposed to have moved on.
What happened to young British signings
