A quality 7 would cost quality money, something we don't have allegedly, that's assuming there are any available to pick from on the quality No 7 tree, I haven't a scoobie how much it's cost to bring Maloney and Sezer over, but I'm willing to bet that Mr Carter could only dream about bringing that sort of quality here to Bellevue.

Forgot about him, did he even make an appearance.

Little Wayne, I know quality players dont come cheap, I'm well aware of that.

Nobody is saying a Sezer or Maloney, and real big names like that isn't our way, and is a huge gamble for any club, as it's a chunk of the cap gone if, say, they get injured.

Personally, I thought the likes of Williams and Randell were of good quality, but had only played what 50 or so games in the NRL before coming over to us, whereas Sezer and Maloney, triple those NRL appearances.

My point was take Broughs salary, and another player from one of those forwards I summarised, and you could be a good way towards a quality player.

no way on gods earth would brough ever be dropped he’s the final piece of the jigsaw

Only when you try to do a jigsaw with K corn flakes

Or maybe a set of jigsaws and the pieces get mixed up

been saying that for 3 years!!!

look what aiden seizer did for hudds,to me our forwards are getting enough go forward but we are just not scoring whilst in opp 20

Sad news for DB - and I hope the message that he'll be back in a few weeks is accurate; would hate to see his career ended like this, instead of on his own terms.

Is this now an opportunity for Hampshire, Miller and Jowitt to prove a point? They get to step up to cover the injuries, and give us a glimpse of what our spine would look like without DB - which must be where we were headed next season anyway? I guess the best outcome would be for Broughy to get fit again, but for Miller/Hampshire to have worked so well, that CC has a genuine selection dilemma.

Meanwhile, best wishes to Broughy - I wouldn't wanna be looking after him when he can't play - I bet he's the worst patient ever.

Not trolling Bren and apologies if I have read this wrong but are you seriously suggesting that Miller hasn't been given a fair chance?

as a partner to rocky I'd say

What Snowie said.

DB says he might be back in 2 weeks.

Would be useful to have him back for the Cas game.

We could have prime Darren Lockyer and still get beat convincingly.

I'd love it if Hampshire and Miller were so good that he couldn't get straight back in, but I fear we'll limp to his return and then find he's not quite fit.

I would too! But cannot see it happening. Although excellent news that broughs career hasn’t been ended, I still believe he is not the answer due to his non ability to break down defences, and clear ineffective partnership with Miller.

Its weird they should work perfectly together though - one slow, organising, kicker and one fast, hotstepping linebreaker.

For some reason Miller doesn't get to take the line on any more and thats down to tactics.

Remember a few years ago Salford signing Rangi Chase and Tim Smith, which seemed to be the ideal combo but ended up bombing and Smith came back to us. I’d love them to tear up SL but over the last year our attacking threat especially on the oppositions line has been poor to say the least.

"Poor" would be an improvement..."dire" is what we are being served up at the moment and has been for too long now

straight out we should get rangi chase out of the championship. would still be better than what we have

Apparently some SL clubs wanted him but chose to stay at Donny, if so Donny paid him some good money or maybe he can get away with more in the championship , if you know what I mean

Rangi chase was in establishment last friday and looked ok but not match fit to me

cost one players career as he walked away from Donny

I watched him for Donny against our reserves, well U19s really and he looked like he’d lost some weight and looked sharp, again it was against lads who are still maturing so I suppose you’d expect him to go well.
