I reckon that the way this is getting built up, we could sign Jesus in a scrum cap and it'd be an anti-climax!

Leave cynicism to us experts.
Oh, and don't forget to tell us that you knew who it was all along.

I've thought about Briggs and Gale, both very good players.
But the way their careers have developed since leaving the Dons, I just don't think they have kicked on (more like knocked on).
They would be great for the Dons, but would we really need an extraordinary meeting to sign one of these two?
Answer: probably yes.
I was thinking we might get someone more famous.
There I go again.
It's looking more like Danny McGuire after all.

I will leave you with a quote ....

"An opportunity has arisen for the club to sign a player of undoubted class - this is simply an opportunity that the club cannot afford to miss out on.''

How about Stanley Gene, he has played super league and is still young enough for five year deal with us, i know that would make him nearly 31 when his contract finishes but you never know.

Could playing for us be considered a year out?
He would certainly be the man to bring the team together when on his best form.Would get my support.

If it is PC, has he not had some 'off field problems' in the past?
A quality player no doubt, but we are told we have excellent team spirit at the moment, it would be ok as long as there is no rocking of the boat.
However this is all still speculation.

PC is a player in the Holroyd mold, so he would be good at moving us around the park. We need a general.
He's 30 years old now.
I thought last time I saw him play however that his best rugby days were well behind him. He had gotten rather slow.

Re: The Dons Need YOU! : Wed Dec 07, 2011 11:22 am  

I think he's about 31. Probably could do a decent job outside of SL.
