What do you guys think to signing Matt Cook on a 2 year deal from the start of next season? Great prospect and under Morgan's guidance he could well become a future international IMO.

News will be officially annouced within the next 3 weeks.

I'm very happy at this news, although backrow forwards are not my idea of a priority recruitment.

A couple of years back he was looking like a great prospect, but he appears to have lost his way a little. Maybe a change of clubs is what the kid needs. Plus, McNamara doesn't know his arris from his elbow so I expect he will automatically improve under a decent coach.

Why is Mallo just giving Crocker the final once over in Aus as we speak then? :wink:

You may find this hard to believe, but I don't have any idea? I never even realised Billy wasn't at Salford last night.

As for Crocker, my comments about not prioritizing a back rower still stand, especially given the cap space he would demand. However, if he can play hooker, I may have to re-think. :)

Can Murrell play hooker?

In my opinion, not really. He's found his best position at 13 and deserves to stay there. I'm not in favour of Rovers recruiting any more Aussies, even if that harms the team in the short term. Looking further down the line, the club would benefit from a gradual reduction on overseas staff.

God, thats a bit too serious for a Sat night when the Leffe is still kicking in!

I agree with your sentiments, but since Crocker's in the bag, you'd have to pick him at 13 over Murrell, surely. Unless Newton moves to prop?

Morgan has been quoted as saying he sees Murrells future in the hooking role so yes.

There's the answer then. Murrell at 9, back 3 Newton, Galea, Crocker. Impressive.
