[castle eagle]

[eagles2win]

Liam Foran and Vic Mauro maybe up for grabs at the end of the SL but have heard they've let there standard slip.

 

[Darren]

add in Farrar and you have a trifecta of ordinary.

 

[master blaster]

Money Bill apparently staying at the rorters for another year on a contract worth a million bucks,it amazes me how they can continually do this and stay under the cap,I guess the broom will strike the rorters again,who will have to go

You forgot Brett Stewart, for the quartet.

Seriously though, If you want a true trifecta of ordinary, any three of your posts will do the trick.

 

[Darren]

I just hope we don't bring them back.

Funny, Vic's straight running, high workrate no frills no mistakes play would be welcome for us right now.

Yep, I always liked Vic. He was a meter eater in the same vein Joe was. I'd welcome him back. How one goes in ESL isn't always a good yardstick.

 

[bennyeagle]

Bring back vic the brick !

Found this on facebook (it must be true then). No name to it, so I'm a bit skeptical.
Had to laugh at the bit about Anthony Griffin being a key factor when you consider who he is being coached by at the dogs.

JUST IN:
Brisbane Broncos General Manager of Football Operations Andrew Gee tonight confirmed widespread online rumours the club is on the verge of pulling off what is being touted as one of the biggest signing coups in the club's history; the imminent signing of superstar back Ben Barba.

Speaking from the Broncos headquarters at Red Hill, one of the clubs favourite sons, Gee was being anything but coy in regard to rumours swirling in league circles today that a deal with Barba had been completed. Grinning wildy as he spoke from the queue in the clubs buffet-themed dining hall, Gee was refusing to take all the credit for the deal which will see the excitement machine don the maroon, yellow and white from 2014.

Whilst it is believed Barba is keen to arrive in the QLD capital to be closer to his young children next year, the opportunity to be mentored by head coach Anthony 'Hook' Griffin is thought to be a critical factor in the flashy fullback making the trek north for the next 3 years. As Gee pointed out, "players view us as an attractive proposition in terms of not only how well the team is coached, but also how effectively the club is managed.

The club is expected to announce the signing officially after this weekend's round.

I told you all this a couple of pages ago on this thread. The dogs made there decision to keep Kasiano over Barba weeks ago. Not really a coup...way more like an off loading.

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

How over rated is Anthony Griffin !

 

[mozgrame]

Griffin is a Rocky boy and has known Barba (Mackay) his whole life.

Luke O'Dwyer(30) not wanted by the Titans beyond 2013.

Good player but same as Buhrer and Tooves is struggling to use him.

Griffin coached at Redcliffe and learnt exactly what the Barba clan was like through Bens brother and it wasn't pretty I can assure you of that.

This has nothing to do with anything other than the Broncos are absolutely and totally desperate for a supposed superstar,they are not used to being without one.

Funny, they pride themselves on sacking Gagai and a host of others for not adhering to their high standards and now they are lunging at Barber.Griffin is under real pressure up here,believe me.

 

[Bearfax]

Is Manly chasing anyone seriously for 2014. I think we need some upgrades especially with Kite leaving and a number of the players they bought on one year contracts. Certainly be good to hang onto Symonds, Lawrence and Horo and they must hang onto the good young players like Gutherson, Trbojevic, Sago, Hiku, Chee-Kam etc. But they need another infusion if we are to be competitive in 2014 and beyond.

 

[DSM5]

If the players you mention are re-signed, and continue to improve, then all good for the next couple of years.
