I must admit I haven't seen an awful lot of him, mainly highlights on the SL Show which won't necessarily show defensive work. Presuming his defence is good, I'd be inclined to say we could offer X but he wanted Y, which if the reports are true mean Wakefield offered Y.
I still think Conor Farrell would be a decent squad player for us this year; with the injuries. Wane doesn't think so.
RICHARDS IS SUPERMAN!!!!

Hardly surprising when we're up to squad number #41. I know the kids aren't on big money, but it all adds up as soon as they make a first team appearance and count on the cap. That rule will, happily, change next season with the low earners not counting.

I know we have been linked with resigning Hoffman in the press but this is one I really hope doesn't happen.
Obviously he was outstanding in his first spell with us but the last 2 years and this year especially he looks a player way past his best.
Given the strength of our backroad when they are fit I see no point in bringing in an aging overseas player. I thought he would maybe move to Prop if he came back but now I think if we are looking for a Prop recruit a real out and out Prop rather than a secondrow with too many miles on the clock.
Unofficially the most boring poster on Cherry and White.
I saw Hoffman got some rave reviews after a game recently but I don't watch much NRL so I can't comment over a sustained period. It would certainly be less risky to sign an out and out prop rather then one we may convert. I think we do need one with a few question marks hanging over the squad in that area but cap space may be an issue.
We may be ok to sign a prop for next year as rumours suggest FPN may be leaving at the season's end. Doubt we'll bring anyone in now at this stage. When Bateman returns Joel may go to prop with Faz in the 2nd row and Wells back up.

Good Squad player that fills the back row adequately. Not a centre by any stretch of the imagination but what options do we have?
Im happy with this
What's the rumpus, Tom?
