Not so sure about that. Was at Leeds, but that's all IIRC. With McGuire and Burrow in front of him in the pecking order he was always on to a tough one there, TBF.

Did Moore ad Briggs come through together?

Like Sam Moa you mean?

If the right half was to be available at home or in Aus, with Longy and Webster around to help them develop then go for it, if not save the cap space and quota spot for during the season for if anything comes up.

Think so. And the same side with Luke Gale and Ben Jones-Bishop as well.

Would take Moore over Briggs as we have Nicklas ready to play more games next year.

He's turned out okay. A project that has worked out okay for Agar. Agree with your comments.

Which projects haven't worked out for agar?

Thorman

He wasn't. project, you can't count another sl clubs captain as a project.

Turns out he was just .

And it was all Jon Sharp's idea. As was Lauaki.

Indeed.

Thank he's gone!

Poop he was, but he was hardly a finished player. Highlights how Hudds have moved forward though.

I say keep the spot open, some one will fall out of love with their club here or in the nrl at some point in the future or coming season......

Edited

TBh you make it sound like this is some new idea when infact it isn't.
Its actually been around a while.

and we actually showed a lack of vision by not looking for another overseas signing until Berro had come off the quota rather than starting the search when other clubs did, thus losing out on certain players already.

And if Berro hadn't come off the quota for any reason?

Really?

Name one other player who's come off quota by taking up an option in his contract.

Just the one will do.

I'll wait...

bend the rules like Rovers

Ben Galea's situation was almost identical wasn't it? He took up a one year contract extension thus removing him from the quota as he had been plying his trade here before 2008 the same as Berrigan. Whether it was taking up an option in his contract or signing a years extension is irrelvant as they are both the same thing in theory.

He was given an extension. AFAIK it wasn't an option in his original contract. Manu came off the quota using the same loophole (extension) so we already knew how to do that.

From what I understand the trick this time was to convince the RFL that a player taking up an option that was entirely down to him (the club had no say) counted the same as getting a new contract or being offered an extension.

Well to be honest this problem should be eradicated a few years down the line when most of these players either leave or retire. Then there can be no loophole using employment rights etc. However, will Hudgell find something new???

any approaches would be conditional depending on the berro situation. Any business with a decent planning process will have all of their possible options worked through to the point of decision to just make things happen. We showed a lack of foresight

'Maybe' and even 'probably' are not a good way to advertise a position. You weren't in a position to make an offer. Preliminary contact could have been made, but nobody would put off sorting their future until this late in the year through choice.
