Would really like us to go for Hindmarsh for next season, an absolute monster in defence and really good go forward as well. 47 tackles and 166 metres for Paramatta against Brisbane. Would bring great experience and leadership to the side and could easily play prop. In 2/3 years time both Mossop and Farrell will be full time first teamers and so it will be the same time Hindmarsh would leave

I just got this via Twitter

@SuperLeague Not seen confirmation of this yet, but... RT @STK143 Brian Noble signs for Hull as Director of Rugby on a 3 year deal

Seriously? No ones ever mentioned him going there.

I must point out, I have no idea who @STK143 is so it could be utter nonsense.

Thorman would just turn into another Moran.

He's already turned into 'another Moran', infact he's worse!!!

I'm surprised we haven't had any FC fans on here pleading with us to take Thorman off there hands, there hate for Thorman makes are dislike for Piggy pale into insignificance.

OK I'm pleading! Please please take Thorman!

Did IL have his eye on another NQ Cowboy whilst watching them in Oz? www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... public_rss Tronc in 'advanced stages' of agreeing terms with a Super League club.

Yeah, and he owes us big time.

lets hope its a good sign then

How about we speak to people like Lam, Furner, Raper, Fletcher and the other former players we have in Aus/NZ and see if there are any reserve grade players like Dobson was or Walsh was at Newcastle until his move to Penrith and pick up a half decent player that way? Nothing can be as bad as Thorman right?

Like I’ve said before;

Lockyer,
Hornby
Finch
Orford
Cronck
Barrett
Campese
Inglis
Prince
Marshall
Walsh
Kimmorley
Hannant
Fien

That’s 14 HB’s there and I know for a fact I’ve probably missed off at least another 7 or 8 who have played in the NRL this season 2.

There have to be players over in Australia who are good but can’t get a game and are currently playing in the reserve leagues!!

Get him signed up Ian, he'll do wonders for are frontrow. I new if I mentioned Thorman and his relationship with FC fans we'd see there admiration for him, get him signed up Hull fans you know you want him.

Tronc would be a step in the right direction but who knows which club he's speaking to.

Seeing as though it looks like all available quality halfbacks will either be staying on or moving elsewhere I would hope that we might be able to bring in 3 quality signings to really boost our pack.

Why dont i have any confidence its wigan hes talking with

because IL may be doing exactly what he didn last offseason and f**king up our recruitment?

Tronc would be a good signing. Good age for a prop as well. with him and possibly a quality halfback (Lockyer, Orford, Jones) and maybe with another prop we'd be a different team.

I'd also take a punt on Minechello. Was fantastic, come off the back of an injury but has real natural talent.

Tronc wouldn't command a fortune either which would probably allow us to bring in at least another couple of players.

Maybe then Lenagan could make Lenagan an offer for LMS at Quins and Lenagan could accept it

i had to read that about 5 times before i understood it

Don't worry its natural to be confused as to who LMS is

Are any other clubs actively looking for a big name prop next year? Leeds, Saints + Warrington seem kinda sorted. So do Hull, possibly KR i suppose. Huddersfield have already announced one signing haven't they?

The bit that's worrying me about that Tronc story is that they have also commented that wigan have obviously been watching the cowboys for a prop, HAVENT made an offer for Carl Webb, but that Tronc is in talks with a "unknown" super league club. Reading that I would put 2+2 together, which makes me wonder why they haven't?
