Unless Horne has a massive season then it looks like we will need 2 halfbacks for next season.

Where do people expect us to sign 2 halfbacks from.

One English and One Overseas?

Finding a good enough halfback who is Englsih will be hard, Ratchford or Myler?

Or do we use 2 quota places on halfbacks, leaving us short in other areas.

I dont think Obst is the answer, but he along with Williams and Nicklas will provide good backup.

Ok it's for next season, but the club will have to start thinking about it soon to get the better overseas players.

Bring in to overseas half backs. It's what we've been missing. If we can't bring local halves through but seem to be ok developing decent local forwards then lets focus on recruiting to fix our weakness.

I agree it seems easier to devlop or sign English forwards.

I'd keep Moa and O Meley.

Sign 2 overseas halfbacks and use either keep Phelps or use the other quota spot on a FB.

Lauaki will have to be sacrificed.

Itll be Long and Horne with Agar in charge along with the resignings of Dowes and Radford and Fitz playing on for another year.

At least one overseas half and one already playing in this country I reckon.

An overseas player already over here?

Theres a severe case of Deja Vu here

I think one from the NRL and possibly one from SL, be it overseas or not.

Long will go and unless he has an amazing season I can't see Horne getting a deal. That said if he has a great season i'd be happy to give him another deal, maybe a one year rolling contract.

It's only a matter of time before some familiar names get mentioned.

Three games into the season and we are already looking at next season, just about sums up us Fc fans the last three years really, always next season.

2012 will be different, just wait and see.

I'd fill our quota spots with

O'meley
Prop (Fitzgibbon)
Scrum half
Stand off or Full back (Phelps)
Obst and Moa/ Lauaki

Leaving us to sign a fed trained full back or Stand off.

Where's the "Kimmorley on a plane" pic when you need it?

long and horne?

You can almost guarantee it

6 and 7 from the NRL. We need to go all out.

You can definitely guarantee at least one of them. We haven't found a decent half back in the last 4 years so the chances of finding 2 in one year is almost nil

I thought Cronk was guaranteed for next season and all our troubles will be gone and Agar will be proclaimed the best coach in the World and the board tell us how great they was in giving Agar a chance when almost everyone else wanted him sacked!!

it would be interesting if we signed Noble if he kept Horne for 2012. Everyone can see Long is past his best so I doubt any new coach would keep him, but with Horne it depends on this seasons form. Agar would probably keep them both....

I can't see both Long & Horne getting the boot, mainly because it's exactly what should happen so we'll find a way to avoid doing it.

I also think Phelps only has to make a half decent contribution this season and he'll be getting signed up.

The only way I would keep Horne is [umaybe [/uas a full-back for 2012. I agree with you about Phelps

we need two fit halves who can form a partnership

I agree but think he'll make a very good contribution.

Horne will get another 2 year deal.
