You do'nt know what you're talking about when you say Fulton was a flop at the Roosters, playing at five eighth or as a lock, he was one of our best players in the history of our club.

I wonder how people would react if he signed with another club? Would there be calls of "he should not be allowed back into the NRL"? I am concerned that SBW thinks about SBW first. Having said that if he does sign and does do well I will be a happy man but it will NEVER sit well with me what he done to his team mates at the Dogs.

Not to mention he's got a fair amount of bondi ink and has previously had some involvement in a nightclub toilet!!!

Don't get your hopes up!

It will be a tight salary squeeze for 2013 if we don't shed some players. And not all of those being touted as being culled are off contract, so we may have to pay to shift them on. Which is not an ideal situation.

As far as I'm concerned Scummy Bill is just another stray dog to add to Politis' collection. He's hoping to come up with a winner sooner or later - I'm not sure Scummy Bill will be the one.

But if the bloke arrives at the Roosters so be it - just another expensive import that probably won't be worth what he's paid, but that's par for the course for this club. Just to hope he provides a little value for money at some stage before he gets bored and moves on to the next stage of his life.

No no no. I didn't say anythong of the sort. I was talking about bringing players to the club who were past their physical prime. Bozo can be included in that group, as he'll be the first to admit.

But I certainly don't question his efforts at the club, which were sterling, especially in 1977.

The real positive thing is, just like with Fittler, we'll be getting him in his physical prime. You certainly couldn't say the same for the likes of Mason and O'Meley and so many other big buys over the years (Fulton is another who comes to mind).

I'm optimistic.

Not necessarily. He is 26 now so will be 27 going on 28 by 2013 and will be 33 by the time he finishes if its true he has signed for 5 years. We'll be getting the tail end of physical prime for the first couple of years but he'll be likely past his best by the last 2 or 3 years of the contract. If he stays fit no doubt he'll still be a fine player in his early 30s but still its not quite right to liken to Fittler who would have started with us in his early to mid 20s.

No matter how everyone looks at it. I'd rather see this on the Roosters home page than the current pic we have.

Is it wrong that I got a bit of a hard on after seeing that?

He hasn't exactly thrashed his body, though, over the last few years; and don't forget forwards mature a little more slowly than backs. I'm optimistic we'll be getting the best of him.
