What do you think the chances are of us being able to pick up any of these blokes by the end of June?


Dene Halatau, Steve Turner, Bryson Goodwin, David Stagg, Jonathan Wright, Kris Keating, Luke MacDougall, Martin Taupau, Joel Romelo, Mitch Brown and Jake Foster

Wouldn't mind getting Brownie back.

Thoughts?

Thoughts: doesn't need another thread.

Second thought: I'd take Brown back but really it's not the sort of recruitment we should be going for.

We don't need Brown in our current roster. We need Turner to fill one of our wing spots. That way Mills, Hotdog, Gards, Ike ect can fight for the other and at least we fix one side. If we can get Goodwin too will it's better than our current crop.

Yeah I suppose Goodwin is like our current wingers but has actually had a good year of NRL. You could argue he's capable of finding previous form, where as our current crop we're all thinking maybe they'll have a good year in the future, but really it's far fetched.

taupau and romelo would be handy. Romelo would strengthen our NSW cup depth in the halves/hooker.

Taupau could be a good benchie at prop. Turner would be a big improvement on the wing, and I would take him in a heartbeat but I would like to see us aim higher first. Wright would also be an improvement on the wing atm.

Taupau would be the only one worth calling.

You guys remember we tried to sign Keating and because we missed him we had to get Graham? What luck.

Doesn't need an apostrophe either.

Brown's gone for the season. Not an upgrade anyway- depth at best.

Taupau would be the only one worth calling.

Agreed. Would only happen if we'd signed him for next year as well. Which I would like but I don't think will happen.

We dont need him but I reckon Dene Halatau is a great 17 player, can play in the back row, can jump in as a relief dummy half as well as slot into the centres.

Very much doubt the bulldogs would let Halatau go this year, he's having a real good season.

Maybe turner and Goodwin as nsw cup and back up. Though then you would have them in the same pack as Ike, gards, Stapo and so on.. I think Matty has it over the rest ATM.. ( at the start I was luke warm to him at the start but I'm warmed to him s he is doing a great job.. The word safe and good hard runner and injury free)

Wrong way round. Turner and Goodwin would push the rest down to NSW cup (where they belong)

Brown mid season transfered to the Dogs this year already. Why on earth would he mid season again to us?
He stated that he wanted to go to the Dogs to play under Des because he sees Des as one of the best coaches in turning average backs into NRL quality backs

I don't know why we ever got rid of Goodwin. Obviously another Ricky Stuart masterstroke.

Phew. When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was about Blake Ferguson and someone was calling for the Sharks to sign him up.
