It's the law of supply and demand mate. He can pretty much name his price

No he can't, anyone who wants to sign him will have a maximum offer, if he doesn't accept it he'll be without a job

No, he'll play everyone off against each other until he realises his maximum market value. It's what players and their agents do

So he can't name his price then

Pretty much, as I said

He really wants to play in england and will be without a club so i cant see clubs paying that, He will get a good wack but not that much, Seems to me if rovers are in big talks with finch then that should show he isnt going to get that much (250k) because i totally dont believe rovers can afford that, if im right in hearing clintons money will be going up

A player of his standing could easily get a gig in the NRL on a fair chunk

Who has the space?

Cronulla replacing Barrett maybe but would he go there?

and the nrl salary cap is rising nxt year aswell by 300k i think

probably but i dont think he would get the money as much as he would here, the NRL arnt hardly strapped for half backs at the minute either.

The NRL isn't short of half backs? Yes it is very few clubs have a real cover options at 6 and 7.

What we need to do and have needed to do for years is start to produce our own and have patience with them.

We need 3 maybe 4 genuine 7's in full time training to avoid distruption to the starting 17.

Signing the top uk 7 currently playing in the championship and offering him full time training with us, back up to Long while leaving him on a dual contract with his championship club. That way he'd be able to come in, know our game plan and have full time fitness.

agar claimed last night that the young halfback mentioned wasnt upto super league standard.he said moore from batley has had 2 chances at sl level,and hasnt took them.maybe there is just a genuine lack of potential in our game altogether??

I don't know much about the lower levels mate, it's hard enough watching sl out here but I'd be interested to know what counts as a chance at sl though.

or a lack of coaching ability to improve on the basic raw talents?

can't just blame agar then eh!!!



some will though

problem with finding a 7 is they need oxymoronic traits - brainless intelligence.

They have to have the intuition, imagination, speed of thought, guile and intelligence to out-think defences whilst at the same time organising and leading their own team. Then they have to be brainless enough to run into the line to make the best use out of all of those talents where they continually get hammered by defenders determined to keep them out of the game. Who, in their right mind, would want that sort of job for the wages they pay for the short duration of the RL player's career?

Oh... and I forgot " a good kicking game" which provides yet another opportunity to be take a dangerous hit to the leg or head (or anywhere else for that matter).

The small kids?

well i suppose the thought of o'meley running towards me,would make me turn around and run !!!!!

What really peed me off on Saturday was with Wakefield having Rinaldi on loan from Villeneuve. Why the hell did'nt we have the foresight to look there?
Well I know, it's Hull again and we don't have foresight.
But it's really frustrating to see things like that happening with other clubs, yet here we are scratting around with the same tried and failed combinations.
I thought Rinaldi showed up well, and was up for it to prove a point.

Non fed and we have 2 hookers
