<span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited ]</span>

 

[Fluffy]

theres a few worth chasing - depends what we have available as well.

 

[Disco]

Iosia Soliola
Peewee Moke

The Roosters have Re-signed these two

 

[byso]

Blunty you're a champion this will live at the top of our list....

 

[Chip and Chase]

Mmmmmmmmm, Berrigan.
Mmmmmmmmm, King.
Mmmmmmmmm, Tonga.

Actually what's the story with Ben Harris. The rumours about him signing last year hung around for a while. I assumed that he must have been off contract, did he resign or was he already stitched up past 2005.

 

[Canteen Worker]

Make sure that Monaghan, Leuluai, Stiles and Heckenberg are all re-signed. Chad will have to have a big one to stay on the roster.

Some interesting food for thought!

 

[Ryan]

Two Blue chips -

Danny Buderus
Matt King or Jamie Lyon or Jammal Lolesi

Dunley can continue to come from the bench ALA Craig Wing.

I'd take Sonny Bill if we had to.

 

[Disco]

Danny Buderus has re-signed

Can you update the list Blunty

 

[The Wheel]

Tonga has re signed with the Dogs, I agree with CW lets concentrate on the blokes we want to keep (eg Monas, Kylie) then go after a blue chip.

 

[PEPSI]

yep / KING / BERRIGAN,,, wimma has another year in england to go hasnt he ?

 

[lodown]

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles (Resign All)
Kylie Leuluai
Michael Monaghan
Chad Randall
Daniel Heckenberg

All these would be worth a look in my opinion

Sydney Roosters
Chris Flannery
Craig Wing
Jason Cayless

St George/Illawarra Dragons
Luke Bailey

Souths Sydney Rabbitohs
Ashley Harrison
Scott Logan

Penrith Panthers
Paul Franze

Parramatta Eels
John Morris
Eric Grothe
Matt Peterson

North Queensland Cowboys
Rod Jensen
Steve Southern
Luke O'Donnell
Matt Bowen

Melbourne Storm
Matt King
Steven Bell
Matt Geyer

Brisbane Broncos
Shaun Berrigan
David Stagg

Canberra Raiders
Clinton Schifcofske

Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs
Tony Grimaldi
Jammal Lolesi


Obviously some of them would be out of our cap restrictions or are in positions where we dont really need any more (e.g. Back Row), but the above would all be top pickups for any team

 

[byso]

Matt King would be on my list.....Welcome Lodown!

 

[Monas_7]

Matt King
Steven Bell

Clinton Schifcofske ( maybe Brett Stewart could play centre )

 

[Disco]

Nope Stewart is the future

Matt King all the way

 

[Blunty]

BTTT


Shifcofske 3 year deal -------------- Raiders

Throw the leagues club at Craig Wing and Matt King.

Fix up our hooker role, not to mention adding depth in the halves. This guy is one of the best exponents of the 40/20 in todays game.

King and someone like Alberts in the centres I guess.

 

[Dan]

I agree Blunty that is the way to go. I have always liked Wing as a player and he should look good in maroon and white.

The problem I have with Wing is that he was playing 5/8 last night but why was he playing like a hooker?

 

[Fluffy]

he is a hooker - just willing in at 5/8th.

Amos roberst played 5/8th most of the night.

I wouldnt worry about wing - sure up the centres and use Ballin - he has the goods in everything ive seen this year

 

[Blunty]

I just read a very intelligent comment on ME......

Flannery and King.

Play them in the centres next year, then when Beaver and BK1 go Flannery can move into the backrow, with hopefully Lyon in the centres with King.

Some smart thinking, and you would think that if getting these two we would still have some money to bolster our depth.

[Ally]

Get John Morris!

There's a 90% chance he's leaving Parramatta.. we could use him anywhere.

That, and I'd be happy for the rest of my life.

 

[gotsy]

Bluntly mate... Ur a ledgend for taking up your time to do all this . Well done mate even though there are a few players who have resigned with thier clubs
