Its been going round for awhile now, hes also going to Cas, Hudds and Wire if things are to be believed.

I should hope not, as this would be deemed an illegal approach!

Technically true, but do you think this rule is enforced or even enforceable?

I'm slightly surprised it is even legal. My contract runs out end of next Feb. I don't find out if it'll be renewed until late in Oct. I'd be outraged if I wasn't allowed to explore alternatives.

Drifting feyly off, I'm imagining a RL world with adverts and applications...
SL stand-off required. Previous experience desirable, ability to pass left and right essential.

Holdsworth would be decent enough from looking at opinions on here. Not sure it'd be the best possible use of a valuable quota spot, though.

If the rumour of a Finch/Holdsworth half back pairing are to be believed then from a quota management point of view, surely this would mean 3 existing quota players leaving (Galea, Webster, Dobson)? That looks a high price to pay (in terms of team dynamics & quality) in order to secure 2 decent, but not top drawer half backs.

Like the advert by the way! Maybe it should also include, training will be provided?

On second thoughts, scratch that last bit.

Finch for Dobson (if he goes to Canberra) Holdsworth for Webster - doesnt sound bad at all to me!

really

It's not that crazy is it really, every player going gets linked with Wire, they're bound to as you're one of the few, if not the only club that's able to spend big.

Even I've been linked with Wire and I haven't played since 1993.

It's not illegal if the club allow it.

Give it another ten years and you may get an offer more local.
