New players

Anything about Martin Kennedy?

[Guest]

It will be interesting who will be part of the 25. I have higlighted 23 which doesn't leave room to sign any other high profile player considering there are a few for those final two spots.

Wouldn't Guerra be in the top 25??? And Kennedy if his staying..

Of course Kennedy. How could you miss him Mack?

That leaves one spot. I don't think Guerra is a cert. I think we have enough forwards to cover the season. Maybe Ford or Blair. I know they can be considered part of the 2nd tier but it certainly doesn't give me confidence that we will be targeting another established back which I think we need.

[Guest]

Fair enough about Guerra, i also think we need another back..

So i'm guessing its certain Kennedy is staying from what you're saying?

[The Axe]

Weren't we trying to get some big name pommie forward earlier this year?

[Guest]

**** 'big names'.........How many comps have we won in the last 30 years signing 'big names'???.....Not enough imo!
We are playing better than we have in years off the back of a group of no name young blokes who play for pride instead of cash!

[Juggler]

Guerra signed for 2010-11 i think.

But what about the Koup?

[Guest]

This was from a news storm about him leaving the dogs.

MORE than a month after the move was stalled, Nick Kouparitsas has finally joined the Sydney Roosters until the end of 2010 after negotiating a release from the Bulldogs.

Definitely lacking depth in the outside backs department still. Forward depth is plentiful, the hooker Brunton looked good, and Samuela/Jones can fill in for Watts if he is injured.

Loving how good the youngsters have come through. Nuuausala, Aubusson, SKD and Pearce from 2007, Jones, Friend and Cherrington from 2008, Kennedy, Symonds and JWH (at Manly) from 2009, and now Guerra, Brunton, Masoe, Leilua and Linnett this year.

Get rid of Graham for J.Carney, fit Towers in somehow.

Now that's a side.

I heard Luke was off to Le Catlens......

[Guest]

I heard Luke was off to Le Catlens......

I would have kept Towers over Naughton, but regardless...

Towers, Baitieri and Takairangi are all gone, from what I have been told. Arona is in discussions with Bulldogs I believe.

Tu'u Maori is looking at England.

[Guest]

Whatever happened to Axel Foley?

[Guest]

Shaun was playing for Randwick in Union, and also got into the Aussie side to the Rugby Sevens, but have not heard for a while what he is up to now....

As for Daniel Arona.....best way to find out is go to the source......I will let you know when he responds Mack.......

[Guest]

Foley spent most of the season injured for Randwick and just made his return last week I think.
