Rumoured signings from the Herald on Sunday...

[Guest]

I don't know how true this is, but there has been rumors floating around the traps that we may be in the market for Jason Ryles, he is already homesick. He would fit in with the team ethos perfectly, can't hold onto the ball. He can certainly run harder than any of the nuffies we currently have in our pack though. Brian Smith loves buying ex-dragons, so it may have some merit. The guy who told me is usually on the money.

As bad as Ryles is he would be an improvement on the rubbish we have in our pack.

Burt is old and mediocre, Grahams another old one, Tuqiri is fat, slow, and a troublemaker just as bad if not worse than our current mob. All terrible choices imo.

I wouldn't chase either. Burt is absolute garbage, and Graham is getting old now.

Good options:

Michael Gordon
Krisnan Inu

...both are off contract at the end of next year, both can kick goals at around 80%, both can score tries, both have plenty of pace too. Gordon is a bit injury-prone and Inu tends to go into his shell if he is low on confidence, but both should DEFINITELY be considered.

Denan Kemp was released by Warriors, he doesn't have the individual magic of Inu or Gordon but still has loads of pace, and can kick goals too. Kevin Locke is another outstanding goalkicking back with pace and skill, but I imagine that the Warriors wouldn't be willing to give him up so easily. The only other good goalkicking backs out there (I'm not going to put Burt or Covell up there) are John Williams, who we already blew our chance with, and Wes Naiqama, who is pretty average.

Gordon would be good to look at, he is 57 from 61 for his kicks this season at a strike rate at 83%, apparently the kicks he has missed are the ones after tries he has scored !

Inu could be a smokey, with Tahu going back to parra, inu may be pushed out, maybe sooner than the end of next year.

As to hayne Vs brian Smith, hayne even admited in an article recently, when Smith was at parra, he did not give league his 100%, more interested in the party life.

Hayne will be very difficult to remove from parra you would basically need to throw a captancy at him and a shit load of cash to get him to leave. Would be great though. Since the World cup, hayne has grown as a person and a player and has become a real leader !

I said before that we shouldn't sign Tuqiri but SKD was absolute actrocious on Sunday, I say sign Tuqiri but not much more than what SKD is on because we don't need to be over-spending on players who are only demand plenty of money on the market because of reputation. We done that with Mason and O'Meley and they haven't paid that back.

You ****en morons.....
Get over ur Hayne fantasy hes a ****en head case waiting to explode anytime. We need
players who are loyal and put in week in week out..Plus we dont have any young
promising juniors that can slip into 1st grade on a minimum wage to create enough space
in the cap to buy a mega star like Hayne.

Michael Gordon is perfect. I rate him very highly and is a very, very good player. We should have a shot at him. He is relatively young as well and a goalkicker. Perfect target player for us. We need speed outwide without it coming too expensively.

I only remember Jason Ryles back in the day ALWAYS giving up penalities and dropping the ball. We can do better that J Ryles.

[Vasco]

Geez, you know it's a sad state of affairs when people are looking to players like Burt, Phil Graham and Ryles as possible recruits!
