**** me dead, our centres stocks are that terrible that most of our fans on here welcome the signing of a washed up Ryan Cross that has no where else to go.

Pathetic.

this may sound strange, but what about giving Jmo a run in the centres? he is a great defender and has an eye for gaps, i think that is his only chance of making the 17 and he is a good enough player to make it there but wont beat out Carney, Graham, Kelly, Townsend, Robson or De Gois for their spots, i know his attack might not be ideal for centres but he can tackle the biggest players

What's this got to do with Ryan Cross?

Has there been any interest shown in Cross from the Sharks?

From what I understand there was a brief article somewhere saying that Flanagan was going to meet with him.

I don't see why we need to buy a centre? Or buy anyone else for that matter, When we haven't even seen what the 2012 Squad play a single game together.

To answer the thread topic, a NO from me. Let's concentrate on what we have & then build from there.

Because As it stands we will have the same back line (other than carney) as we did last year ... Like it or not it's arguable the worst back line last year in the comp.. It needs serious upgrading sooner or later !

Is that a joke Snowman? Isn't George Rose one of the biggest props out there for Manly? There is no way I would put him as a centre, he couldnt even play a whole game, onto the Ryan Cross discussion, my opinion is we should give him a crack, he has good experience, very strong, good at breaking through the tackles and he would give our youngsters good knowledge on the game

as Mark said Deano there was a small article 1-2 weeks ago in the telegraph (for what is worth) that the "Sharks were potentially interested" & Flanno was going to meet w/ him soom to see what his (Cross) thoughts were, the way I interprated it was (assuming the Telegraph article was true) that Cross signing was more than likely going to happen.

Sharkboy, I'm thinking it was tongue in cheek but Snowman was sharing his opinion or confidence of having Pom lining up for us in the centres.

Yeh dont worry, I thought it was tongue in cheek, maybe have Poms as a 2nd row option, hes fairly solid guy and strong build, from my understanding wasent there discussion of that last year? Thats just if we sign Cross though, other than that, im all for keeping Poms at centre, I reckon Poms is a good centre

Des Hasler is incompetent. This year Toooovey will move George to the centres where he belongs and we'll see him blossom. It's criminal that he has been wasted in the forwards.

yay, 1 year deal with a second in our favour. We don't lose anything by trying and NO ONE is worse than pom.

Yeah it is like those damn magic balls, when people ask a question that you won't know the answer or it's a answer that is saying " how long is a piece of string."
