whats the news over there

I suppose after failing to get Bird and Finch this is the next logical move

Do you think the Bulls music bloke has a bird related song he REALLY wants to play when announcing a player, so the club are trying to sign someone for him?

If it's true, we face competition

Can't find anything about a move to Odsal, but I did find this which seems his future at Souths is in some kind of doubt.

[iThe Rabbitohs, meanwhile, are vehemently denying that Craig Wing is on his way back to the Roosters after the collapse of a third-party agreement.

"There's been no approach by the Roosters and no approach by his management," chief executive Shane Richardson said. "He's got a contract here for the next two years … there's no ifs and no buts."[/i


I think he would be a good player for us, either at 6, 7 or 9.

someone let the cat out of the bag .and let it slip out. its not meant to be leaked in the media . but some got out

I heard it was Rod Hull & Emu next on the list. (Should bring the average age down anyway)

Emu would give new meaning to the term impact player. He would get Leon back in some style for what he did to our Sammy

I would like to see him at Odsal, but don't think he's worth that sort of price, he must be what 29/30 now?

A soured third-party deal with McGrath Real Estate has left Wing $150,000 out of pocket at the Rabbitohs, where he still has a contract until the end of 2011. The NSW utility has now been given permission to test interest elsewhere before meeting with Souths officials late next week to determine his future at Redfern.


Apart from Parramatta, Cronulla and the Roosters have shown interest while rugby union is also in the frame. But Wing was tight-lipped about his future when contacted last night.

"I'm leaving all that stuff to my manager (Wayne Beavis),'' he said. "It's been well documented what happened a couple of months ago, but I've now made a decision to just concentrate on football, which seems to be working at the moment.''

Isn't 1.5 million like £750,000?

look at beaver . wing current SOO . TEST player

Got a point I suppose.

yes . i heard 3 year deal

£250,000 a year???? Haven't seen too much of him, but I can't see him being worth that much on the cap.

Would be a quality signing.

Worth £750,000 over 3 years? That's a hefty chunk of our cap.

So do you think we should continue spread our cap around a load of average players without any game breakers like the last 2 seasons?

The irony of the posters username has eluded you! We're well rid of Yestin and now you want to sign Yestin2

would be a decent addition at the right price although 250k a year sounds a bit on high side. although it sounds a lot consider that we currently have solomona under contract and have had to pay off tupou who havent played all season plus we had space for bird so we could quite comfortably accomodate 250k under salary cap in addition to players currently in squad assuming solomona goes.

Surely we didn't have to pay off Tupou after the 6 month injured period? If we had, he wouldn't have had to bother challenging it?

Craig Wing?!?!?!??!!!! I wanted him signed years ago when he was still beautiful!!
Don't want him now, he's all knocked about and ugly!!

oops - better change that or I'll get a kicking at the forum tonight!

He's a quality player - hope we don't overspend on him though, we need fleet of foot centres really.

Good job you posted that. I was thinking it was the Craig Wing that sold me a packet of Lockets in the interchange back in 1989.

Can cover 6,7 and 9, current New South Wales origin player and 16 caps for Australia, who wouldn't want to sign him.
