but how do you know that the younger lads are good enough for this level or ready enough?
fitz and lauaki will leave a big gap in the forwards ecpcially fitz so for me 2 new forwards preferable young ideally watts and flanagan would be good

Still wouldn't go for Waterhouse, there is much better players in the NRL who, may be tempted over. Such as the Heighington (spelling?) rumour, I'm sure someone said he's available/looking to come over.

Seriously what is the big deal with Flanagan? Is it because he's English and played in the NRL?!

hes very young, english, a backrower, 1 of the better occ backrowers and has plenty of potentail and the fact that when hes played for wests he hasnt looked out of place at all and the couple of years down under would of done him the world of good. if there s better english backrower occ then let me know im just suggesting players ffs

waterhouse will be 1 of the best forwards over here next year still a good player that will suit the way wire play

You do a bit more than just suggesting him, you seem to mention him in very other post. Its an unhealthy obsession

What he said.

i mention him when i talk about potentail recruitment for next season and how our squad is lineing up for next season like i say if you have better suggestions then let me know instead of talking crap about obsessions. i mentioned brett seymour alot well before he was rumoured and signed look at posts from the rumours page mounths ago and i got the same abuse if you like about having an obsession with him aswell and would you know it we went and signed and now everyone highly regards him ect.

I reckon its down to you mentioning Seymour that we signed him. Would you mind mentioning Benji Marshall a bit.

Seriously though mate, once is enough. We know you like him

Go on.....see how long you go go without saying the 'F' word.....we'll be watching!

Might be reading too much into it, but Craig Murdock was asked tonight whether he thought Lauaki would be here next year and he said he didn't think both Moa and Lauaki would be - would be one or the other. So maybe if we don't agree terms with Moa, we'd keep Lauaki?

Also Agar said he'd like to think Richard Horne will stay.

Has to be Moa everytime for me

There was an article in 1 of the RL papers this week with Rich Horne saying he doesn't ever want to leave Hull & is very hopeful of securing a new deal. The only thing that wasn't good about the article is that they had him down as turning 31 next month.

Qualitywise I completely agree, but depends how much he's asking for I suppose.

No more runs like Sunday's to be guaranteed or he doesn't sign

heard today that big dave taylor has signed for next year

I bet you didn't

promise i did

Do voices in your head count as rumours?

I heard he's bringing Isaac Luke over with him so that we have more options at hooker.

really? luke would be a great signing but do we need another hooker with obst hermira and cam smith here next year?

do we need barba when we have mckinnon anyway is bailey still coming here or is it storm

black and white..........go take your pills ring the doctor and go lay down, whatever you do dont listen to those voices in your head ok,

just heard a rumour but i dont think there is any truth in it. I heard black n white actually told the truth.cant see it myself

I thought black an white has been warned and told to simmer down for making stuff up day in day out??? It really is boring now.

Now?
