Just seeing that 6 aussies have been released from Celtic Crusaders and are getting deported back to Australia for playing on the wrong visas. Josh Hannay and Jace Van Dijk are 2 of them who would not be too bad to pick up as back up players for us, both are supposed to be playing good footy over there and they will not pick up anything again over there as they have been banned from working in UK for 10yrs.
 
Didn't realise we still had the deadline. Contracts have been signed over the last week, including Matt Scott. Wouldn't that violate the deadline?

it is not an anti tampering deadline anymore. it is a mid season signing deadline, so clubs have to have all contracts registered with the NRL by June 30 if you want them to play for you in the current season, if you want them to start with you from the following season there is no deadline and in the Matt Scott case he was re-signing with his current club, so that has never been against the rules.
 
Josh Hannay - hahahahhaha has to be up in contention for the worst player to have played Origin. I honestly do not rate this guy whatsoever.
 
Star studded? Steve Michaels started there most of the yr and he is rat shit! We need some experience in the team fair enough bringing the young blokes through but you need some guys to lead the way! And also if you are only putting them on incentive based contracts it doesn't cost the club anything unless they're good enough to play first grade.

Yes star studded. Hunt, Hodges, Folau, Winterstien.......is that not enough for you.

Just out of interest, what did Frankie do to be dubbed a "star" in your mind Rock? Isn't such a label a bit premature at this point in time considering the shortness of his playing career and the company he shares?

Just my view.

I really liked Hannay back in his playing days for the Cows. Contemplating "bringing him back" is almost archealogical in its nature though. :P
 
Hannay can defend. Hannay can kick goals. Hannay understands about doing his job in set plays and positioning.

We could do worse.

We could sign Ash Graham........

Well I wouldn't call him a "Star" but
But you literally just called him a "Star" in your post before this [icon_lol1.

I liked Hannay. Sure he was never the greatest player, but he was always solid and more often than not he played well. His goal kicking was a bonus too. Not as under-rated as Bowman, but still under-rated by most people.

Oh and Ash Graham is a superstar. 2nd best player in the world, behind Slater.

You rate Ash Graham ahead of Carl Webb? Big call!
