Yes, that would make more sense lolLmao Hahahahaha
james roberts my friend not benny hahahaha
Kev's been around a long time, including playing a decent amount of first grade. Debuted in NRL in 2010.I think he means Kevin Naiqama. The guy is a gun fullback but won't get a run ahead of Moylan.
Been a Queensland Cup player for years. Seen as a massive talent but can be suspect in defence.Whos McInally?
Does anyone know if he's coming this year or next.Would be a depth signing, nothing more.
Jarrod McInally, 190cm / 90kgs / 25 yr old, winger/fullback for Easts Tigers, Same club we got Thompson from.
Would have to relocate here as he owns a house and has all his family in Qld.
Supposidely meant to be very quick and ellusive with decent defence and safe under the high ball.

Doesn't meet the "available player" criteria though:I mentioned a player a while back who is a spitting image of a baby Israel Folau, his name is David Fusitua from the warrior. I reckon him and CoRona would be wrecking balls.
if you take anything from this article, he does meet the requirements of the "no dickhead" policy.

Plus has all his family in NZ and still lives with them. That's a hard bond to break.He recently re-signed with the club through until the end of 2015.
I'd take him, he isn't the worst option we have.Just to add to the rumour thread , any it's only that came from a mate who is a die hard dragons fan reckons we are in talks with Quinlin
James Roberts had massive discipline issues first at Souths and then at Penrith and was sacked from both clubs. Do you really want him? Koroibete has John Sila's defensive abilities, there is a reason why he was overlooked for others in the Tigers squad, plus he is a winger only and has no ball playing ability that is required in a fullback. Perrett would remain a better option. Alonmg with that our current wing options in Brown, Stanley, Thompson and Inu are all better than those 2. Kevin Locke could have been an option for fullback but the Warriors weren't going to release him for this year and then the Salford owner offered him massive money to go there which he accepted. He is an injury prone player who simply wasn't worth what he was asking.It seems there are options out there, but MUST be reasons why we are shying away from them.
I mean, we missed out on James Roberts, and Koroibete, and Fergo was never going to be considered.
The potential players that might be available now/next season, it seems the club is happy to watch sign elsewhere, whilst they sit on their hands waiting for a "rockstar" to save the day.
and yet supposidely we have signed some park footballer from Qld Cup whose already into mid 20s.
I don't understand it.
- Are we over exaggerating the potential skills of available players?
- Does the club see something we don't about the options?
- Has the club simply given up on looking?
- Is the club not actively in the search for a fullback?
- Have they already secured someone and are keeping coy?
About the only thing I can think, is that we already have someone lined up, but can't get them till next year, and its been kept under wraps at the moment.
On the flipside, sometimes I get this bad feeling that people running our club don't have a clue.

I don't why eh, his Uncle would of been proud as hell to see their name running around in the Blue and White once more.Why we didnt*
Now he's signed with the Titans effective immediately.
I'd say Falloon, Carter and Shrama would all be ahead of Mortimer at Hooker but you never know, he could sneak his way in there and he does get the rest of the season to prove himself to any other club.Who is to say we didn't. Once Origin is over Mortimer would get no game time with us. At the Titans he will probably play first grade for the rest of the year with Sezer and Henry both out and would also fancy his chances of playing a fair bit of hooker in the next couple of years, either starting or off the bench because no one has been able to hold down that position yet at the Tits. If you're Mortimer who would you want to play with to help your career?
