Ideally someone else who plays for Cas

Oh yes...not going to happen though

rangi chase but will never happen

Just heard from a very good source that radders has signed for rovers, 2 year deal on 20k more then he's on at hull.

so there getting radders who would be on about 90k a year maybe more going by your source, willie mason 100k plus, and a new halfback. for a team that are losing half a million a year this is a massive gamble aint it

Depends on who's available.

I'd like westerman at the club but not playing 6.

Yeah I've heard that aswell

what about jamie soward seen as though we have a non fed place left and the trouble we have at halfback, would be a great signing we an excellent kicking still young and would be a great replacement for longy? like ive said before he was out of contrcat at end of season but dont know if hes signed a new deal be suprised if he ant but you dont know.

On rovers forum says berro could be classed as federation trained anyone know if it's true ? Would allow us to bring a centre or h/b , heard they have being looking at Eric Grothe

Arliebird we've been through this before!!

We, sl, can't out bid the nrl for it's top players anymore!

And soward signed a three year deal earlier in the year.

the rule is that all overseas players that was registerd before feb 08 woundt class as non fed players, as from next season your allowed 5 non fed players and we currently have lauaki,moa,omeley and fitzy with manu and berro not classing on the non fed so really we should have 1 non fed place left.

I think Radders has had a decent season tbh...well worth another [u1 yr deal[/u, if he is going across for his pension payment fair do,s to the bloke, being a great servant for us.

but i woundt class soward as a top line player like your thurstons ect and i was giving this as an example look at hudds theyve just outbid a few nrl teams for odonnell, i dont agree with you about sl teams cant outbid nrl teams now.because of the aussie salary cap lots off players become available and alot of players like to come to england anyway. and as for soward signing a new contract i dint know like i said

The papers had him as dragons top earner.

O'donnell is 30 soon and has a four year deal.

like i saysoward is a good young player thats why i suggested him but for now i woundt class him in the same bracket as your thurstons ect. suprised hes the top dragons earner, and odonnell was an example theres plenty more aussies that have come to england at a good age when they could of stayed in aussie most probably for more money

The dollars strong and the nrl salary cap is about to rise.

Players come over for a easier time and longer contracts, see berrigan.

ypu may be right sheldon

Come on EXPRO you know everything can we bring in another overseas player ?

I believe it is being confirmed by the club one way or another this very week !! however my reading of the quota situation is that we do have a spot available although the RFL see it different

Is this somethong to do with Berrigan's contract and the 4th year. I assume we see it as an extension and the RFL don't!!

nail on head i believe

Is this Blake Green any good who's signed for Rovers, Sheldon. Just heard on RH. Apparently he's a 6.

by all accounts he is a very complete player but has an ongoing knee issue

I read recently that French players would count as fed trained players next season, so Catalans players are back on the rumour menu.

that is correct !!
There are one or two at les cats i would love to see at the KC
