Shoot...

I stand by that - 'thin' at least, perhaps not 'paper thin'. Even former Australian assistant coach Peter Gentle seems to have felt a few in-season adjustments were required, so I am... VINDICATED! Yeah!



Regarding the 3 rumoured candidates for your new hb spot... an outsiders POV:
I think Holdsworth would be a very good choice from a rugby POV. But [uif[/u the hb target is the remaining big name signing player Pearson is talking about then Brough or Chase seem much more obvious candidates. Holdsworth won't shift many season tickets or, for all that he is a good player, bring many of those moments of brilliance that can turn a game.

Brough - that could happen, a deal being subsidised by Tickle going to Widnes sounds plausible. I think he'd offer exactly what you need, but slightly suspect Mr McRae shares Mrs B's opinion of him - something about Frank Gallagher, wasn't it?

Chase - can't see it somehow. And I don't think it would end well.

Basically, I think it'll be someone from the NRL. Or Brough. Or Holdsworth and Fui-Fui Moi-Moi. Definately one of those.

I like the Soward rumour the most, but really can't see it.

Half back priority.

Staying put.

Brough a done deal.
NRL SOO prop and Paea done also.

Boo! I was aiming for the longest thread since JVT.

Civoniceva playing on for 1 more year, is he? Can't honestly see any recent SOO players moving to SL in the near future, but would be a massive capture if we did.

what's changed your opinion on brough then,as when I've stated this in the past it was 'total bo**ocks' apparently?!

Civoniceva would be a massive singing,just what we need,Holdsworth would add nothing to what we already have,a waste of cap money,that wouldn't move the team on to the next level.

Alot of clubs looking at Bulls players due to their current situation, maybe Gale is one of the players FC are looking at.

That would do very nicely, however I'm not convinced.

That would make me one very happy fan, as big a signing as G.Ellis in terms of needs for the team imo, still not convinced however praying for it to be true

At the time I thought is was ! Things change.

Not much has changed,he always wanted to come back and hull always wanted him!!!

If you sign Brough, I'll eat my lovely top hat.

This is his last series.

Who we signing do you know?

I know, he's supposed to be retiring at the end of the season. That's why I picked him out as he's perhaps marginally more likely as a result. I don't expect anyone who has played origin in the last 2 or 3 years to rock up in SL any time soon.

You can guarantee that we would never hear the end of how old he is, how FC always sign has-beens etc despite the fact he is still consistently performing at top level at age 36.

He was linked with us a few years back when Peter Sharp was here, would have been a phenomenal signing then, but would still be a good signing for a year now.

So nobody for Gale?

Probably the easiest to sign out of the names been mentioned.

I'll share it with ya... Do you want ketchup on it?

No just salt and pepper Thank you

[iYou're[/i Barnabus??!

Everyone thought it was Sandra The Terrorist!

Not a bad player, and only 24. But we potentially have loads of salary cap to spend, and I would hope for an experience big-name Stand-Off that will get the fans excited for next season.

That would be what we need but sounds like borlox to me
