The game plan. Pearce wants a release.

[Guest]

Good, let him go. Most overrated player in rugby league.

[Chris]

Would hate to see him leave, but if he doesn't want to be here than let him go. Lose a few more of the no-heart players and throw all the money they have at Thurston.

IF the rumour is true then:

6/ Lewis
7/ Maloney

OR

6/ Maloney
7/ Johnson

I thought Josh Lewis had retired?

behind anasta and that ****wit finch.

[Spanner in the works]

If this is all true, I am glad we have signed Maloney.

[theGman]

Halves off contract this year and next..
Ryan Carr, Dane Chisholm, Liam Foran, Mark Kheirallah, Jacob Miller, Jordan Rankin, Arana Taumata, Ben Jones, Kris Keating, Michael Parker-Walshe, Michael Picker, Aidan Sezer, Carlos Tuimavave Travis Burns, Todd Carney, Luke Kelly, Daniel Mortimer, Corey Norman, Ben Roberts, Harry Siejka, Jamie Soward, Ryan Stig, Gareth Widdop, Nathan Fien, Pita Godinet, Trent Hodkinson, Ben Hornby, Ben Hunt, Robert Lui, Alehana Mara, Michael Morgan, Scott Prince, Adam Reynolds, Jeff Robson, Johnathan Thurston, Chad Townsend, Sam Williams

The bolded ones are those I would like if Pearce was to leave - thin pickings. Especially given 2 are kids that I don't see leaving and the other 2 wouldn't come to us.

Hopefully Kheirallah can step up if Jnr Jnr says bye bye.

Realistically, out of this lot.....
- i can see Harry Seijka looking for a new home if Thurston arrives at Penrith.
- Michael Picker is young & talented. If the Raiders decide to choose Sam Williams then we should pounce.
- landing C.Norman would be like winning the lottery. However cannot imagine him leaving Brisb. The 2nd Brissie team would target him.
- Chad Townsend is young, talented & an all rounder. If he can't crack a spot at the Sharks he would be a handy aquisition.

[Roostajohn]

Maybe refferring to Luke Lewis

[John Corey]

If true he's a farking sook and can piss off.

Chook.

Didn't quite understand that Chook? Can you make it a little clearer???

10 Goddamned years too late.

if Pearce goes, we should chase Reynolds, whats the worst that can happen it would drive his price up for the Vermin.

[Rooster_6]

I would get down on my knees for Adam Reynolds. He has more talent in his left hand than Pearce has in his whole body.

I can see Maloney and Reynolds (and a better coach) tearing teams to pieces next year.

Make it so Roosters.

Wait are you talking about Mortimer again or is this Reynolds? Sounds awfully familiar.

[Spanner in the works]

In my mind, assuming that Kheirallah or Mortimer don't show enough, our options are:

6. Widdop
7. Maloney
(Costly but would be worth it. Great in broken play, comes from a winning team.)

6. Sironen
7. Maloney
(Costly, assumes Sironen continues his good form, probably worth it if so.)

6. Maloney
7. Miller
(Already know what we are going to get. Cheap since he looks to be on the outer.)

6. Maloney
7. Reynolds
(Expensive. Questions over second year syndrome.)

6. Norman
7. Maloney
(Fairly costly. Is he a great player or is he a good player in a great team?)

6. Maloney
7. Thurston
(Ultra-expensive. Amazing player and set of halves. Would he join and do we have the room under the cap? Age and his past injuries.)

To be honest, I'd be happy with all of them except Reynolds and Norman. Reynolds would demand a lot and I'd be concerned that he is another Sandow. Norman I'm not sure has that game-breaking factor in him. Thurston is touch-and-go.

6. Maloney
7. Thurston

Here's the answer, forget the price-tag. You can't put a price on someone who can slot a tank into a 30cm gap.

Stop teasing.
