Miller will get another deal in Oz, they don't care much for our game and I reckon a few clubs will take him on his past rep honours. Difference being that at 21, NRL clubs don't expect their halfbacks to be anywhere near the finished article.

Who's that?

True but sadly we don't have the luxury of being able to give him time to develop and we don't have any experienced good quality half backs he can learn from.

That's always been the problem, that and his alleged large salary.

Bang on the money.
St George were interested when we signed him, but reckoned
he'd need 2 or 3 years in reserve grade before he'd be ready for 1st grade.

We do have the luxury, just that where not willing to give it IMO.

We should be building teams around half backs, not building a team then sticking a half back in IMO.

Millers done some good and some bad, we are/were probably the wrong club for him at this time in his career.

Havent read all the posts but as he signed for sydney roosters?

according to reports in the French press he has signed on loan for the remainder of this season

surprised hes gone there.they have 2 top halfs already.

Trent Robinson coached him at the Catalans so he will have been a big factor

My French isn't all that great but looking at their media it would appear so. Only on loan until the end of the season so as I understood it.

...."avec un contrat enorme en noir-et-blanc, signé Pearson, dans la valise pour l'an deux mille quinze"

Will have to get Fitzy and Macca to tell him how lovely Hull is.

Wonder if Catalans didn't even want Dureau to come to us on loan as it would strengthen our team and they won't want us to overtake them?
They are a fair way in front of us, but there are still easily enough games left to catch them and even they know they struggle away from home.

Or he would just rather be at st George than hull?

Bugger. He was the best available IMO. Right, put HTW in and have done with it.

I'll second that.

Sneyds available

leeds or hudds

Was told Hull for Sneyd.

Pretty under the radar if it is, but that's how Ellis was snatched.

Sneyd wasn't available when Pearson announced the club was looking at 5 halfbacks so I doubt there is interest.
That said 2 of the halfs have now gone to other clubs so its down to 3 and I don't think Hulls reputation with Aussie agents is that good since the McDonnel saga.

Can't see Sneyd being anything but a one season wonder. Wherever he moves he won't have as good a season as he's having now.

We need an experienced HB, Sneyd isn't one.

Can YOU name 5 halfbacks that are available? I don't believe for a second Dureau was one. That deal was done some time ago, I bet.

Sneyd, Dobson, Leuluai, Campese were probable candidates.

Totally agree. Sneyd is having a good season but he's still young. We don't need another young inexperienced half, we have Miller (Even though looking at leaving) and Rankin aswel as HTW. We need an experienced one.

catalan have admitted they didn't want dureau signing for a rival sl club.
