That indeed is what I said. Stupidity being and act or more without necessarily being permanent...whereas the best players are the thickest does reflect that called every player thick to varying amounts...which they are. Ask Hardaker and Bateman...love them at Wire.

| Roberts in holding out to see what Titans can come up with...if he rejects us we've got a safety net with Robert Lui on stand by.
Ben MM is signed... you can quote me on that later too.

“Robert Lui on standby” is not a quote I wish to ever have to bring up, ever. He’s not bad but he’s not what I’d consider as even remotely close to our half back solution. Brown and Lui... is that really what Smith has done to us? Maybe we could get Carney to partner Lui with Greg Bird as the midfield link-up. We could class that as a rather ‘Stella’ trio, based on previous history in the NRL.
I’d rather stick with Patton and Livett if this is where we are heading.

Just what has the potential signing of Robert Lui got to do with Smith? Let it go, he's gone, or are we going to have the specter of TS for the next two or three years if they are uninspiring?

Please not again. Are you not embarrassed yet?

| That, again, doesn't make sense.
Tony Smith and Richard Agar handed their notice in at Wakey.
George Williams signed
Tyrone Roberts signed
Garth Brennan signed
Ben Murdoch Masila signed
Plus countless others you get wrong. Why bother putting yourself through the embarrassment?

Give a monkey a piano and a 1/4m years it will eventually play the the 5th symphony.
Anyways 50% of that is true and the other half had a chance and blew it.

If our next half back has even half that amount of talent he’ll be an improvement on what we have
Incidentally, whatever happened to that hotel-corridor-defacating NRL player? I can’t remember who it was but if they’re still banned in the NRL they might be available to us! Let’s get ‘em signed!
Let’s just not put them up temporarily at the Woolston Premier Inn. Maybe that Britannia at Daresbury that houses illegal immigrants.

| It could all depend on if Price actually wants Roberts aswell, if he has Free Reign on signing players. He may know some Young Quality Half back nobody over here has heard of that he wants. I think Roberts would do Really well over here, but i also thought Frank Pritchard would be an unstoppable force over here and he wasn't. Not the same position i know but theres been a fair few Quality aussies that come over and do sod all so only time will tell.

He plays for Wigan now. Gelling. To be fair to him he only shat on a coffee table for the maid to clean up. Brunton, his co-defecator is nowhere now.
We got the one who had a dog fellate him and there was Carney who urinated in his own mouth.
Classy lot.

Really? Jees what is it with these ruffians. Or did he just get locked out of his room and couldn't wait / was confused.
Or was he doing a Bobby Sands ? He's not banned anyway.

| Do we really want a player who is obviously waiting on this and would rather stay in Aus? If he does come it's because of uncertainty with the Titans and could cry homesick at anytime.

| Personally if the players in Aus show no eagerness to come from the offer on the table I would walk away after the decision time frame expired.

| Hiku helped secure our Super League status for next season - I wouldn't want to change that.
Sandow helped us to the LLS, 2 finals, and was worth the admission fee to watch - I wouldn't want to change that.
Signing any antipodean has its problems - the overwhelming majority of them will want to go home at some point, after 1 year or 5, be they old or young, family or none.
Even the younger players who come over for the opportunity, with the right "I want to be here" attitude, they'll ultimately want to head back home should they perform well for us, leading to offers arising for them back home.
Hiku gave us enough time to find a replacement - no problem with that.
I think there's no problem in signing these players as long as we accept there's a risk (especially with a basket case like Sandow), and therefore have a reasonable succession plan in place - something we didn't do with Sandow, leading to the panic buy of Brown (double annoying with letting Myler go).
Price may stay long term, he may win back to back GF's and leave for a top job back home. But that's fine, we have a succession plan in place with Henderson.
It should be no different with these Aussie players.

| I would think the whole Half Back planning was thrown into disarray with Briers retirement.
