Imo i think the Briggs rumour if true is a good option to explore. Young and has been a points machine in NL. Bringing him in would give us the cover we need at SO SH. Also a student for Longy a uk player relatively cheap and would give us time to explore other half back options in NRL for 2012 when as people are predicting we will have plenty of salary cap to play with, by then Briggs could step up hopefully.

Utility or players who come into a qouta place who can play one or two positions isnt a bad thing. If we could get hold of a talented overseas player in the mould of a Lyon, Inu or Hunt ( I know he's unavalible but class utility player). That would give us a centre option and cover for SO.
Just a thought!

They could be a couple with NRL experience.

There's also been a few players retiring so their spaces will need filling.

I think people hear Dobson couldn't get a game and believe there's all these half backs waiting for a chance.

There's not.

If were looking at a youngster to bring on then Blake Lazarus might be interested.

A older head, Jeff Robson.

Just seen Brad Drew in Starbucks on St Andrews Quay

Personally if Rovelli is here for one year to bolster Horne/Long in the halves then it's a decent enough move. He is not top class but you won't get that at this late stage, he does have experience and could do a job for the year. That then leaves us cap and salary space to find a more proven option for 2012.

That said I would have like us to try with Briggs as he could be a really good option for the future.

He'll be in Macdonalds next!
