I would be more than happy to sign Coen Hess for a 4-5 year contract. To me he is like wade graham in the sense he will play a lot of games and be quite experienced at a relatively young age.

We need to lock in the next Coen Hess, like Frizell he just dominated NYC and you could tell he'd be good in first grade. yes Frizell took a few seasons but Hess is looking great already.

Lock up our own first-Fifita a must before other props. Good old Hess hey- he moved away in the storm final when he was warming up and copped a very loud yell "Rudy Hess ya hairs to long!" from me when the crowd was quiet. Not the first time someone publically called him Rudy me thinks

Braver man than me, not something I'd be yelling out.

In your head, rent free
woods would be a very smart signing with the cap going up, a rotation for fifita prior and woods would be absolutely incredible. if we are a legitimate chance at getting him i would pull the trigger

josh reynolds, not sold but not against it. if we are looking at him it says to me
1) chad is asking for too much money

2) bird is gone

if chad was leaving or pricing himself out the easy solution is put bird at 6

mate of mine who has an affiliation to the nrl thinks bird has already agreed to go to newcastle

Is Cronk an option, heard him say that he wants to return to Sydney to be with his girl.Off contract next year?

He'll be 35 when his contract finishes with Melbourne mate. I'm happy with our halves relevant to how much cap space they take up.

I wouldn't be to worried if he goes to be honest. The reality is he is a bit like kurt gidley good in lots of position probably never be a master of any of them. I would prefer us to sign up chad and sign a top class 2nd rower and a top class center

in his prime, bird is not better than gidley by any stretch

people just remember kurts decline, he was actually a very good player

Was always very overrated imo, not just at the end. Certainly wasn't a hack, just not as good as the hype.
