Always hated the idea of us getting Liddle... but would love him over fucking Granville...
We missed out on Robson, so we take the Cowboys sloppy seconds. We are a joke

The following are off contract at the end of this season:
Sosaia Feki
George Jennings
Clint Gutherson
Dean Whare

I'd prefer we spent our money there. Holland could probably even work at hooker.

I’d take Dean Whare defence alone

Gutherson not for 700

And throw cash at the Manly back up hooker

1. He’s a gun
2. Fk Des

Fuck that! Granville hasn't played well for three years which is why they just signed Robson.

So we miss out on Robson and buy Granville? This better not be true. I cant take much more of the club signing the dregs from other clubs.

Lewis isnt the answer. We seriously need to move him on. Aiden Sezer is playing nsw cup. Make a play for him. Meaney foran sezer jmk its a good mix of youth and experience. Sezer has 5-6 years left in him.

I'd sign Granville on a 3 year deal with the Cowboys paying some of it for 2020 and 2021. Makes great sense financially. We also need experience in the hooker position if Cogger, Lewis and Meaney are the rest of the spine. Plus he can help mould our next hooker. Excellent buy if it works out. I like this.

Do you really believe our recruitment team can negotiate that the cowboys pay some of his freight...
You have seen first hand how inept we are with the klemmer release without even getting a player swap.
Wishful thinking though.

Granville is 30 years old by the way..

He's a hooker who relies on pace and elusiveness and he hasn't displayed much of that while regressing badly the last two years. So signing him to a rebuilding team would make zero sense.

How does the club go from targeting a young gun like Robson to settling for a 30 yeard old rapidly declining Granville, who the Cowboys replaced with Robson himself?

Dean Whare is not off contract, but Penrith have advised him that he is free to look elsewhere.

Would definitely jump at Whare. One of the best defensive centres in the game.

We need a couple of big boppers and would look at Welch who is off contract

Whare & Welch would be a step in the right direction and would not break the bank

Wouldn't mind this kid Ikuvalu from the Rorters on the wing or centre. Has size and a good finisher. He wouldn't be on much and he won't get much of a chance once Ryan Hall and BMoz come back from injury.
Are you talking about the Sam perrett clone?

Please keep him away from the club

Lewis is still evolving... his defence alone earns him a permanent 1st grade spot.

Wonder how he'd go at hooker though.

Welch is very good and would be a great signing.

But Bellamy rates him highly and with Smith retiring, they'll re-sign Welch and anyone else they want to keep.

Jmk is doing enough we are in more desperate need of a centre/prop/wing another typical pay dud signing

What about lock, play old style lock role, which the gAme will evolve back too if they reduce interchange as having lock as 3rd prop not really needed
