From what I read he is close to re-signing but as we know it doesn't mean anything till it is announced. I think he would handle the transition fine. I'm just trying to think outside the box because it gets smaller every week.
This Elgey kid I'm not too sure on. Cherry proved his worth in the QLD cup as did Hodkinson I think Elgey will take a lot longer to develop then these 2 players given his size and his limited experience playing against grown men. If we can get him for the right price so we can develop him and he isn't costing us $350000 a year playing reggies then its not a bad signing just hope we don't pay big $$$ for an unproven kid.
We need a Michael Monaghan type signing he isn't credited enough with helping us turn things around. He was as tough as nails and played a big part in our rise to the top with the BK's. From memory he was predominately a bench hooker with Canberra. Any of them coming off contract?
