If he is that good Brearley why has he spent the last 2 seasons in the championship? Nothing more than a squad player

That's a point.

signed for them as a sl club didnt he, 2 year deal but only played 4 games in his first season with them due to injuries, they then got relegated so after only playing 4 games i guess he wasnt going to get picked up by a sl team or maybe he felt he owed the bulls to stay with them? contract up now so gets back in super league after playing more games for them.

yes squad player which is just what we need , learning a lesson from last season

A team of squad players definitely isn't what we need though.. Need to have the right blend.

17 superstars

and ones that can fill in for injuries

win grand final

taai signed up for another 2 years

good news

always gives 100% and can play prop/2nd row, just misses the mongrel we lack as a team

look forward to watching taai for next 2 years

Yeah good news regarding Taai. www.theherald.com.au/story/42561 ... young-gun/ Latest on Mamo and Wardle swap....Brown still confident of the deal

Great news that

And a subtle "be patient" from the club on other signings

Why would we want to pay for a player who will be sitting on the sidelines for four months and not taking part in preseason with a good centre who we have no replacement for!!!???

I take it you are party to the contract discussion Jools?

Totally agree.

A great guy off the pitch too. Well chuffed he is staying for another 2 years. Hoping we can play him more at second row than prop ideally.

I hope so she is talking sense

Rumour has it that Stone has won his battle not to recruit the three Bulls crocks. Ferguson gone to Wakey and efforts to offload the other two ongoing. Thewlis has lost this recruitment battle. About time we had a Coach who decides what Players we sign. Good on you Rick.!

Great news if that's true simonsays. The workings of the previous regime must be undone.

Jools - If the chance is there to get Mamo then we must swoop. The lad is at a different level to what would be available in the UK. If he is out until Feb then so be it, that's a small price to pay.

Rick Stone knows exactly what he is doing and I for one have every faith in him.

Apparently Mamo is very close to being announced with us.

Couldn't agree more at 22 and in his prime for years has the potential to be a star for us, ill hold my hand up if i'm wrong.

Id like to see what Gaskell can do if Fit but the other 2 id rather send else where.

We need another Prop but there is nothing available over here at the moment so we would have to look overseas but im not sure we have quota room if we sign Mamo?.

If that's true, I will laugh my backside off given the rumour was that Clough and Gaskell both refused to play despite being fit as they didn't have want to miss out on signing for your lot.

maybe the player welfare bit that thewlis talks about is so the bulls players can other clubs..
or to do with crabtree..

mamo is a risk now with that injury but a risk worth taking i think especially if we miss out on hardaker

Or were they refusing to play because they weren't being paid on Time...again...

Gaskell and Clough stopped playing before the wage delay. Gaskell didn't play since May.

Well after watching Ferguson in the 4N I'm quite pleased with him as a signing

Didn't look bad against the Aussies, certainly didn't look out of place


Oh and Brough Brierly HAS to be out 6&7 for next season

Yet Ferguson given 5/10 for his performance in one report.
Sorry but for me Ferguson is a backwards step.
Any other SL sides sign championship players at that age? Only one I can think of is Penny.

The aus telegraph rated him at 6/10, with brierley as 4/10....

Looks like Mamo deal is edging nearer. I for one am so excited about this signing. Not often you can sign players if this ability at such a prime age from the NRL. Rick Stone's contacts paying dividends already. www.fantasyfootballnuts.org/jake ... mer-coach/
