Danny Washbrook has been offered a 2 year deal on slightly reduced terms, 2 other teams interested in his signature.

He is, just been unfortunate with a bad injury.

Just been looking at Lynch's stats. Not seen much of him this season, but Lordy, more than a pretty face.

4th highest metres made in the comp after Tomkins, Roby and Graham
3rd in the comp for offloads with 50 so far this season
9th in the comp for tackles - 699
5th in the comp for carries - 463

I know he gets a lot of gametime, and stats are sometimes misleading, but very impressive IMO.

4.yeamen
5.briscoe
6.seymour
7.ellis
8.omeley
9.houghton
10.lynch
11.westy
12.manu
13.tickle
subs
14.heremia
15.moa
16.ocarrol
17.turner
horne, washy?, green, cunningham, crooks, williams, nicklas, radders, sharp, aldous, bowden

take him out.

whats happening with him contracted for next season

You don't need to look at stats to know lynch is a quality player. Just wish we'd signed him when bradford did.

His mate is gone so he is too

I know he's a quality player. Didn't realise how outstanding his stats are, that's all, and thought I'd share. A lot of people are being negative about his age, when his delivery on the pitch is still clearly top notch.

Horne will be at 6.

another signing I'm excited about, that's 2 now

Would be a very good signing for us. Not too old for the position he plays either.

Didn't we take the option of signing Thackery instead of Lynch at that time?

To be fair short term we did alright with thacks, challenge cup etc but long term it would appear we would of been better off with Lynch. Bloody hindsight.

Don't understand peoples reservations with Lynch solid unit in an area which appears to be our potential weak point next year if were not careful.

Personally, next year i'd go with:

McKinnon
Sharp
Turner/new signing
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Seymour
Lynch (if he signs)
Heremaia
O'Meley
Tickle
Manu
Westerman

Whiting
Houghton
Moa
Bowden/O'Carroll (again, if he signs)

I would go the same, except with Radford instead of Bowden/O'Carroll/A.N.Other

Think we could get some extra mobility in the side if we decided to push Tickle into the front row for a spell or two, allowing us to carry 2 back rowers on the bench.

That would be my starting 13 if Lynch signs.

Think Tickle could well be a prop next season, seems to be a natural progression. Certainly got the bulk but I guess a lot depends on the player as well.

Pearson has said we are looking at improving the right wing so I don't see Sharp-Turner as a partnership.

New South Wales style, I like it



But I think you're right about Tickle, certainly looks to be make a good prop.

Cheers, not really bothered but its nice to have someone else agree with me

Think he'll run the middle channel next year, especially if Agar stays.

We were stuck in the coach park in the traffic, saw some players walking back so got off to talk to them, no autographs collected!

He said right side which I took to mean a new centre to replace gleeson

That's what I was thinking.
