Talk in Oz is that if he can get a multi-year deal on big money, he wants to come to Super league next year.
A fantastic player all round, strong defence, good passing and kicking game, organiser, great engine.. There are some question marks over his attitude in that he's seen as being 'bigger than the club' and knowing better than the coach (general thoughts are he's been the catalyst for a number of coaching departures over the years), but many in the know excuse this as his passion for wanting things to be done right - his fellow players certainly back him, whether that be NSW players at origin level who wanted him in the team even if he'd been demoted to NSW Cup, or the Tigers players who've re-signed with them after his persuasion, or the youngsters who are now holding out to make sure he's staying before they sign long term with the club.

Falloon is only on a 1 year deal, and we've not had enough opportunity yet on the field to see if he's a keeper(though in sure the coaches will have an opinion from training etc). Should we be going all out for Farah? He's likely to require 'marquee' type money (though I'm led to believe Leeds can still afford that type of money on the cap without needing to use the marquee allowance). Thoughts?

No.If they were to make a marquee signing then a marquee no 6 would be better use of resources and move Sutty to loose IMHO.

I'd prefer us to sign a world class HB than a world class hooker.

Would Farrah make a good HB?

I'd also prefer a world class HB;I wouldn't want to sign Farah as a HB though.

Cooper Cronk is off contract, I'd prefer to throw the cheque book at him, but it's seemingly ever more likely that he'll commit to Melbourne, whereas Farah is wanting a move to SL so seems more possible.

Farah is a good player but seems to be at the centre of Wests Tigers off field problems for several years including falling out with a succession of coaches.

Is there any good HBs available next year in the NRL?

Ones we could realistically get over here?

Cooper Cronk would be a much better option albeit in a different position.

A 3 year deal on good (but not outrageous) money would be very tempting for him, I'm sure.

At 32 I'm sure very few NRL teams will be offering a 3 year term.

I'm sure the 4 year term was a motivation for Cuthbertson - look how that's turned out!

I think it would take outrageous money to get Cronk. One of the rumours doing the rounds was that Cronk wanted to move from Melbourne to Sydney as his Mrs works in TV and is based there, that's where the rumours of him leaving the Storm came from initially - can't see him up sticking to England if that's the case.

Farah's on about £500k a year. No way would GH pay that for one player. It could also cause unrest in the dressing room having one player on such an inflated salary (compared to others).

That's right, but talk is that he'll walk away from a final year at that money, for a multi-year deal at a lower value. With the exchange rate and lower cost of living here, you might get him on a 3 year deal in the region of £300/350k per year..... Still mega money for any UK club...

Not worth the hassle.

Like Bullseye says, wouldn't touch Farah with a barge pole.

Let's give Falloon an opportunity to win a longer deal for himself first, before we start recruiting hookers for 2017.

Saints being heavily linked with signing Jamie Soward for 2017, although the player himself has denied it. Bit of a "meh" signing if true.

Segeyaro form Penrith

Dylan Farrell from St George

He's no Diskin.









Or Buderus!

I haven't minded the look of Falloon going off his first 2 stints back from injury, looks sharp around the ruck and his distribution looks excellent. defensively not sure yet but like his work rate.

I thought we were signing Clarke?



If Falloon builds on the last two games, and wants to stay I think we are in good shape. Why blow our wad?

Clarke looks more and more on the cards given that Wire seem to be going with Dwyer as their starting 9 and may wish to offload someone who they presumably pay a hefty wage

Cooper cronk would be great but I think he will want to play for Aus in the next world cup

Farrah im not sure of, he demands more money that hes worth and was reportedly a bad captain and often blamed their younger players, something that could destroy the confidence of our young halves coming through

Segyaro would be great but I dont think we could get him as he has claimed he wants to play for Queensland

Segeyaro is a star coming into his prime with a decent shot of replacing Smith as Qld Booker when Smith retires.

Farrell's career is pretty much over from injury.

The guy we should be trying to get from the NRL is Josh Hodgson, but he seems to have settled there brilliantly and probably won't be coming back.

Why should we be getting anyone? What's wrong with Falloon?

Nothing at the moment, but this is a hypothetical thread about Farah. If we were looking for a hooker from the NRL (if Falloon is going back there after a one year contract) then I think Hodgson is a better option. Neither seem likely though.

Danny Brough?

Arrrrrrrrrrggggggghhhhh

Doesn't have the right Attitude to work at the Leeds Club. Plus he goes missing under pressure

It'd be great if we signed Todd Carney wouldn't it?

How many of youse would get Carney 7 on their shirt?

We don't need him, we get Brierley next year after our loan of him to Leigh ends
