Best young props in NRL - where are we?

[shagger]

why dont you just come out & say it could be anyone, then you claim to have made the predication.

I think you're right about Blair going home. Manu is a possibility, prefer Lima though. Although, I think Lima is headed for the seaside .... not that I would know.

It's not all beer and skittles at the Storm despite the PR campaign at the moment. It appears they have turned their guns on each other.

Are you saying you blokes are after Lima and/or Manu as well and one other from the storm? Damn, where is the cash coming from, it can't all be from letting the homesick mercenary go?

No, it's not. The Dogs have the oldest squad in the NRL and it's likely that several players will be moving on. Especially from our NSW Cup side who still carry remnants of our 2008 team and at least a couple in the NRL side.

I expect that if we sign a decent half back, then Kimmorley will finish up this year. We should have a fair bit available under the cap once it's freed up. As far as actual cash, the club is in pretty good shape.

The Roosters and the Dogs are probably the most active clubs in the market at the moment. Although, we're chasing different players.

In general though, things are pretty tight with the clubs, hence you will hear more about Melbourne players shortly as some will move because they can rather than leave it too late and run the risk of being forced out when there is no money left and they have to go to England.

We won't get Lima, besides he reneged on a deal last time, hence the now infamous "Plan B". Just said I would have preferred Lima, Sika Manu has been named in the papers so there is no surprise there and he would be a good get. We're a little soft in the forwards. We're probably another prop, a backrower and half back short.

Well, I'm expecting the General and Ryan to be ready to step down. Bobcat will probably go to England and I think the General will retire completely. His back injury was similar to Minichiello's. We didn't think Patten would play again.

We had a crack at Vidot but he re-signed with the Raiders. Dugan isn't off contract til 2011, so he is off limits without Raider's approval ... Besides, Barba or Turner will replace Patten when it's time.

I forgot Bobcat, you guys should free some cash. Still thats some expierence to lose all at once, Kickpoorly, Bobcat, General and Albino. You may be tempted to keep one of them, maybe Kickpoorly.

Barba would make a good FB. Extra playmaker, lighter load in defence, that x factor, the modern day FB really is a different beast.

The role of the 5/8 and fullback have certainly changed, almost swapped. Considering how teams have this rigid left-right structure these days, the fullback needs to be able to pop up almost anywhere. Almost, like the old style five eighths.

It's why Carney was so effective in the early rounds and why Anasta seems to have lost his way.

Maybe thats why Freddie threw Anasta in at Fullback last year

That for mine is the interesting bit and one the Roosters should take note of if they are to get better. And it also surprised me given that comment that you guys would be linked with Sika Manu. Interesting days ahead, I hope the Roosters manage to get something they need from the storm's adjustments.
