i'm surprised youve heard of fitzgibbon tbh.

Uner 20s? have i missed something here?

i'm sure its gone like the toyota cup here(in oz)?

Wrong!! He told me 15k with a company car and a free tracksuit...

hes not dean windass!

Latest offer may of been 15k that he turned down, but it was deffo 12k to start. (not sure on the expensive tracksuit though!

)

Is that for 2010? because we deffo had over 20s playing last season (aka mills)

yes mate.

then you can keep him.... and ill chuck in the shiny tracksuit

keep who?

i think the rfl have been persuded to allow 3 over 20 player, although i could be wrong here, but the idea is to get better players in the NL leagues instead of reserves. hence duel regisrtation like haynes.

That was to SCF about horne and his tracksuit.

Makes sense i suppose... therefore something is amiss as the RFL never make sense!

I think Thackray might take a one year deal, with a one year option in the club's favour. He has the ability, it is just whether his issues outweigh them and whether he'd disrupt the squad more that he'd improve it. He's the only free-agent prop I think would be worth a punt. Doubt it would be a big gamble - financially at least - and he does offer something different, in his ability to turn a game (one way or the other).

Absolutely not for me under any circumstances!

I think we are short of one quality prop and its possibly time for young Watts to step up to mark for me, at the moment with our shortage of props, Watts must surely see this as a big opportunity.

are you sure it wasn't company vehicle?

For me, top quality would be best, a bit of impact second best, and failing that go with what we've got - as you say an opportunity for someone like Watts.

I think the Rovers coaches have a fairly modern, technical outlook. Andrew Webster's interview in RRR was really interesting, for example. Saints have done okay with an undersized mobile pack in recent years and maybe that is the model we are looking at. They have been an exceptional team though and I fear we'll risk been overpowered with old fashioned tactics against a number of teams, especially early on when the pitches are heavy.

Any chance of digging me this interview up please?

I can check which issue it was in when I get home - it was towards the end of the season. I think there would be copyright issues (never mind my own laziness), to posting it all one here, but I can put on a couple quotes later (unless the mods advise otherwise?).

Come on Neil sign Crabtree, the guys brilliant.

And under contract for the next 4 seasons with his only ever side. I also believe his testimonial is due soon.

Lets set our sights on realistic options.

players with something to prove????maybe players who are determind to earn a longer deal???

Ryan Tandy played well for Melbourne in the play off's maybe worth another punt?

i think Morgans ruled him out already.

Shame really, very talented player but he definitely is a loose cannon.

Would loved to have got Johnson but I guess we didn't have room under the cap for that much.
