Going to have great options in the halves with this signing announced today. Who would be your first choice? Barthau and Foran? Farrar in the centres?

Farrar on the plane

Barthau is a pretty good signing! got a fair bit of experience and not a KoS at 24

Potential Back line:

1. Mathers
2. Caro
3. Farrar
4. Garside
5. Williams
6. Foran
7. Barthau

Pretty decent Imo!!

I give Foran a month before he's in the stands / on the bench and either Keyes or JWH is playing alongside Barthau.

Is Caro Def coming back

Yo missed Dixon out of that back line

Has to be an improvement on Drinkwater. If not, Joe Grima has made a terrible mistake.

Don't understand your negativity about Foran before he's even played. He's from good stock if you ever watch Manly. I like the look of Joe Keyes and it's right not to put too much pressure on him too quickly.

I saw Foran play one game for Salford and one game for Manly. He was sh*t.

Foran has been dropped to the 3rd tier comp in NSW where he is playing hooker for Wentworthville. He's even struggling at that level.

What's the second tier comp?

It's the one below the NRL. It is called the NSW Cup.

Foran is obviously a total waste of money. Anyone who saw him play for Salford should have known that he was not even worth the airfare. He should be offered to Skolars or Hemel or Oxford at a deep discount.

That's what I thought.

I think Foran has played almost every week in that comp hence it is a bit odd for someone to claim he is struggling in the third tier.

I watched some highlights of the NSW Cup and thought Foran looked sluggish at hooker but quite lively at 6. If his form is good enough to keep two of Keyes, Barthau and JWH on the sidelines, then he'll have done OK. If not, as noted, we are well stocked at 6/7.

I think i'll trust Joey Grimas judgement, rather than Jean Crapdouze.

Here here, JC is a pain. He tries to hard to appear clever and his preaching irritates. He is a very naughty boy. I wish he'd run along and take his ball with him!

I am hopeful William Barthau can come in and do a really good job for you.

His Dragons chances have been limited and even with a bit of player turnover expected this winter, he didn't look likely to get into the team.

Ironically, his best performance I remember for Dragons came at Twickenham Stoop about three or four years back.

So he has shown form in the capital.

Was very good I thought at the Hive this year too Jimmy.

I had clean forgotten he appeared in that one.

But he crossed the line for a try as well.

Up there with one of the worst tries we've conceded this year. Caught a rubbish pass from dummy half off his toes and waltzed in untouched from 10 metres.
