Decent thread. If I was to deal with transfers and signings I'd be swinging the axe Bigtime. And bringing in a better standard than what we failed to do last year.We seriously have some deadwood to replace within the Forwards, aswell as promoting a conveyabelt of Academy players each year. Well I've come up with this.

Second Row - Weller Hauraki. Out. Luke Lewis -Cronulla In
Scrum Half - Michael Dobson. Out Sam Williams.- Canberra In
Hooker - Logan Tomkins. Out: Kriss Brinning - York In.
Prop - Phil Joseph. Out. Cory Parker - Brisbane In
Prop - Olsi Krasniqi. Out.Billy McConnachie - West Tigers In - British Passport Holder.
Prop - Adam Walne. Out: Luke Burgess - Manly In - British Passport Holder.
Prop - Jordan Walne. Out. Potential Academy Player - In
Prop - Carl Forster. Out. Potential Academy Player Promotion - In

Our overseas quota = 7. Lui, BMM, Sa'u, Vidot, Lewis, Williams,Parker = 7.

So the team would look something like this.

1. O'Brien
2. Carney
3 Sa'u.
4. Jones.
5. Vidot
6. Lui
7. Williams
8. Kopzcak
9. Lee/Brinning
10. Griffin
11. Lewis
12. Masila
13. Parker - Captain- Kicker
Sub - Lee/Brinning
Sub - Burgess
Sub - McConnachie
Sub - Flanagan

rlInteresting Articlerl

cheers for that: a good read
I missed it desite having the site as a favourite

Good link cheers,

a fairly even & astute report apart from maybe this ..


Didn't realise Josh Griffin was OOC and would presume we are doing our utmost to hold onto him.

He probably shouldn't on two counts:

1. During 2006 Dobson played for Catalans, a club in the RLEF, as a 20-year-old.
2. Dobson played for Wigan the same year.

The first point would make him a federation-trained player, and both points should make him exempt anyway. However, given that he was on-loan at both clubs from Canberra – a non-federation club – perhaps that skews matters.

as an outsider the times I have seen Dobson play either against us or on the telly he has done ok, still looks the part imo
