I can't believe our rumour thread has come to this, at least make something up that sounds believable.

I did say i laughed it off as a joke, however i'm simply putting what i've been told. I know for a fact that the club are talking to him/his club/his reps but as you've said it's unlikely to happen, but when people have a go about lack of ambition it is certainly not the case.
Just one thing tho Digby, it's not always about money, sometimes it's just about rugby league!!

If it's about rugby league why would he leave a superior competition, his Queensland jersey, his test jersey, better coaching and Melbourne to play for hull?

I'm confused there letting us speak to him when they publically stated that Cronk, Smith and Slater would not be speaking to any club. IIRC correct they stated they were the top tier players at the club and only lower tier players will leave.

You've lost me on "sometimes it's about rugby league" we play dour rugby under Agar and don't trouble silverware. Melbourne play champagne rugby under one of the best coached in the game and regularly challenge.

I don't see what you see. But I hope your correct.

I didn't mean him directly, the club have made contact/had discussions with whoever it is they've spoken to, if i wasn't clear enough, a siganl of intent perhaps. I don't know whether it was club/agent/player hence why i didn't say that.
Sheldon, when i say about rugby league i mean just to test yourself, or maybe just to do it!! Some come purely for the cash others for various reasons, i don't think Fitzy is here just for $$ for example...

But i'm not James Rule, Cooper Cronk or anyone involved in the game... I'm just a fan!!

Please don't all try to lynch me, i just post what i've been told or have an opinion on, like everyone else!

Not trying to lynch at all mate. I'm pragmatic and just can't imagine it. The FACT is i can't prove nor disprove.

If it is a top player,which I doubt, we won't be finding out till after origin.

I'd have gone for Lazarus or robson for this coming season, but I can't see wests letting Lazarus go now.

I know, sort of, what you mean pal! Don't worry haha.

One thing is for sure, for 2012 we will be after a big half back, whoever he may be.

If he plays every week like he did in the final, I definitely wouldn't say no!

And neither can i mate tbh.

But if you know me or read my posts, i do one of 3 things;

1. Posts what i know which i believe so far is at 100% accuracy, but that can only go down
2. Put up pictures or just talk general crap during idle chit chat. I like smilies
3. Argue with people (but i don't get personal, unlike some)

Like i say, i just annoys me when people have a go at the club for showing no ambition but when we've come to within 1hr of singing Fielden (late price match by Wigan), Tried to sign LMS (Pipped by Grand finalists Sts), Offered V.Good money for Myler (Turned down by the player) and, allegedly, speaking to CC i think that's ambition but lack of success holds us back. It's a vicious circle but we'll get there, we'll have our turn!!

Preaching to the converted, fella - he's still only 26 and a CC winners medal-holder.
