Maybe Agar rates Nicklas and Williams more, just because he looks good in the lower leagues doesn't mean they will make SL, some do some don't, plenty of teams could do with a back up halfback, why haven't they signed Moore?

As for Obst, would be a shocking move, would rather stick with what we have and use the above two players and see who becomes available in the off season.

Sammut perfomed better then Long last season and he is a similar type of player and reminds me of Long in his younger days, not the finished article but has that flair that we have lacked, I wouldbe more then happy with him as our long term halfback, anyone who thinks we are going to sign one of the very best from the NRL is sadly deluded.

I agree and think he would be a good addition to your squad. The reason I asked was a lot of FC fans I know are constantly saying a HB signing this year is a stop gap to cover Long / Horne for a year as a prelude to bringing in a Cronk / Thurstan status player for 2012 when a few of your top earners are likely to leave. Personally I agree with what a lot have put about being better value going for an NRL second string HB who is young and keen rather than ending up in a similar position to what Bradford did with Orford.

I also agree

I do not think Sammut is the finished ariticle, i believe he has the ability to be some-thing very special, off the cuff with plenty of vision. He doesn't know what he will do next let alone his team mates .....reminds me of a young Longy.Most of the world class h/backs are off the cuff with plenty of vision, if we got Sammut i would want him on a 3/4 year deal, he would be worth it.

To be fair regardless of the level they have played at from the little I have seen Moore looks to have that something extra then Nicklas, and a different skills set, albeit I've seen very little of both, that's not being negative, even if iam right there could be space for all 3 players, Leeds brought McGuire and Burrow through at the same, Wigan still have talented halfbacks on there books even though they have Tompkins, all I'm saying is I think it would be stupid to pass up on what looks like such a talented player, 5 years ago we had the most talented young halfback in the country on our books in Tommy Lee, it dosnt always work out, the more talented young players you have on the books increases the chances in one making it.

If you're selective there's actually some useful information to be had from Twitter feeds. Plenty of companies/groups/organisations now use Twitter to put out info and some news correspondents/outlets as well.

Not everyone uses it to stalk celebs you know.
