Any good props going????


Any chance of a BOGGOFF

Simply, it does not matter about whether they are overseas or not. If they are from Crusaders they are not counted on any quota for length of contract with the new club.

That to me is a ridiculous ruling. I could understand maybe a one year dispensation or even for the length of their exiting contract , but for the length of the new contract is a joke.

I noticed that you did not put that you were surprised.


This is what happens when some clubs have a special dispensation to sign as many overseas as they like, then said club folds.

If they were playing under the same rules as every other club the yard sale would not be required, players would just be picked up in the same way as used to happen when we had P&R.

I wouldn't be shocked if saints now turn their attention away from the player I originally said we was after.

Sorry too long

A British target was the best available, now a better Aussie that won't count on quota is available.

That stupid I post team news, signings and other stuff before they come out.

I actually thought that was a yellow face scratching it's head, I didn't even read what the text was



That was the thought I was trying to convey anyway (wondering who the player is). I mustn't be down with the kids.

Ok, I'll let you off then seeing that your of the mature nature and not down with the kids

Should this be of any concern to Saints, given that it;s most promonent thing on his NRL profile. www.nrl.com/telstrapremiership/p ... fault.aspx Anthony Laffranchi Likes to get to the ground early to ensure he is the first to be strapped before each game.

His stats look pretty good.

Is this the extra forward we are looking at?

Not before Crusaders announced their withdrawal, no.

I'm not entirely sure what our main target is now after the confusion with Crusaders and the RFL making all their players non quota.

What does strapped mean in an Aussie context?

If he likes to hit the ground early then he should be a good replacement for Jammer 2011!

It means he gets to the stadium early on a match day so he can have his operated on areas medically strapped before the game.

Dedicated.

Yep, experienced professional seems a fitting way to describe him.

Like the sound of him.

But then I became quite convinced when he tweeted a good luck to the Saints boys for our quarter final match!

Crocked.

Looks like we won't be signing Ryan o'hara from crusaders who looks to be on his way to hull kr. O'hara would have been the obvious signing for us as he's a prop and he's a pretty good prop.

Vince mellars is linked to Warrington.

I was told last week that we was in talks with a crusaders player but that was before they all become free agents so I'd imagine we now have acfight on our hands for him.

That's a shame if O'Hara does end up at KR. I was kind of hoping he'd end up at Wigan.

Anybody but Lauaki.



Mellars has always looked reasonable to me. But he plays predominately centre for Crusaders, so if he does the same for Wire where does it leave the blonde haired kid who looked so promising for the Wolves. The kid might end up regretting signing such a longterm deal seeing as his path to the first team could be blocked for quite some while.
