Shaun Lane... any word?

[Tommy Smith]

I heard we were chasing this kid pretty hard a few months back. And with the Dogs just spending millions re-signing Mybe, Jackson and Klemmer, our chances of signing him must have increased if we're still interested. Anyone heard if we are?

I think we might see a real shift next year, with the likes of Cords, Napa, SST and Napa taking on the senior roles in the pack. So i wouldn't be surprised if Moa and Liu move on with the following taking shape... it'd set us up for about the next 8 years thats for sure.

11. Cordner
12. Guerra
13. SST
8. JWH
9. Friend
10. Napa

14. Evans
15. Knight
16. Lane
17. Aubusson

I think he is off contract at the end of this season.

They boy can play.

With 8 interchanges your second rowers must play the full 80, no way we'd sign Lane to play on the bench.

And I don't think there's any chance Robbo will let Liu go either, he's one of the most dynamic locks in the game. The lines and angles he runs around the ruck are such a big part of why our pack is so effective. I think he's one of the most underrated players in the comp.

110kg

198cm ( 6ft 5in )

21 years old.

What's he worth Tommy?

[Tommy Smith]

In 12 months he'll be better than Guerra.

I'm a huge fan and would happily swap.

Any relation to Don?

[eddie]

Lane kinda reminds me of a young Steve Menzies.

Any relation to Don?

No, Shaun is not inclined to lie under a table while a lady defecates on it.

I rate Liu highly. But I reckon Lane will play 20+ games for NSW so I know who I'd prefer.

Anyway, this is wishful thinking at best. But I'd be surprised if the Dogs can afford to keep Lane now.

Surely the dogs would flick Williams before lane. They've let pritchard, hodkinson and cook go already. Their salary cap position is probably stronger than ours.

They've been trying to get rid of Williams for the last 18 months - no one wants to take him off their hands for the price.

Lane is a Souths Junior (South Eastern) but also had a season or 2 with Clovelly

Some would argue he already is better!

One shares the lock role with SST and provides cover for the front row, the other is a second rower. The comparison is odd, a swap for Aiden Guerra would be a lot more realistic but I think Guerra deserves the opportunity to prove himself in the second row after being shuffled around a lot in the last few years.

Any relation to Don?

Maybe Penny.
