    - Todd Carney
    - 2 blokes from RSA Union
    - Jarred Waerea-Hargreaves (the "Sonny Bill of Union")
    - Smith Samau
    - Nick Kouparitis
    - Daniel Conn

    It would appear that a lot of the signings have been done before Smith even gets his say.

    The future looks VERY hard for whoever takes over the Roosters! We're a broken team and don't seem to have a direct action plan with our signings, or to be honest many free options with our signings.

    Smith isn't going to have the power to walk in and say "right boys HERE is how you make a winning team! Give me a telephone and I'll get in touch with all of the best players for your team... here's an envelope containing a list... make sure you dispose of these guys!"

    I think the team's pretty well set in stone...
    Karmichael Hunt is pretty well our only other option (bar out a few minor signings)... I think with the increasing value of the Dragons' team after this season (and a combination of both an exile away from the roosters and deflation in the value of our players) we will probably sign Hunt is he doesn't stay put. That... would be a HUGE signing, and would probably involve releasing The Count (unless he's pushed over to the wing... which I think would be silly because he's such a good fullback!)
    *note: that's another ex-union player being signed... we seem to target them! An interesting project in my view...*

    Meh... we'll have an okay team, but I think Smith's coaching in the off-season will be the most important factor. He needs to get the boys fit and motivated! No more Freddie saying "oh they're a fast team... so should be tough." Our boys should be as fit and fast as any other team in the comp...

    I don't know mate, look at the Knights. Not many people rated them at the start of the season.

    The best part of it is that he turned some sub-standard forwards into damaging, ball-playing runners. That is what i am excited about.
