poor mans trent barrett

I can't believe some people, if we were lucky enough to get Anasta he has the class to be the best 6 in the SL. Jason Smith was a 13 but was still one of the best s/o when played there. We should go all out for Anasta, that would show some ambition?

So to conclude James Rules if you are reading this.

We want an unproven SL half back in Moore and we will pass on an ex Australian and the current Sydney captain please.

That will be all.

Thanks

Superb

Anasta is a show pony and vanishes when the going gets tough.

What he said ^^^

Do people watch the nrl?

That'll do for me.

We need a halfback, he's played most of his career at halfback, including state of Origin and Aus.

He is a good kicker, organiser and leader etc.

Yes I can see why we shouldn't sign him.

He has been playing 13 as they have 2 outstanding young halfbacks in Mitchell and Carney.

Simple for me Dave, play him 6 when Horne's injured or 13 when Horne is fit. When Anasta plays 13 he can still lead the team and it allows Fitz to play prop where he should be named. Westerman can be used in the 2nd row if Anasta is at 13. I'd sign him but on the provision that he comes immediately to use the Berrigan quota space and salary.

I see your point, but I would just play him 6.

Horne if fit and playing well, could play off the bench and come on at hooker or cover anywhere in the backs.

I would keep Westerman at LF.

I hope we at least make a phonecall to his agent.

He is just the type of player we need.

It's an option, i guess if he's going to stay fit it may make more sense for consistency to leave him at 6 all season. Horne and Long can play 7... whichever one is fit that week!!



I'd play Westerman at 13 normally but not sure that Agar shares that view.

Not sure in the interview last week he kept mentioning Joe as a LF.

Hopefully this is right.

Just hope as you say we're having a look at Anasta... now not just 2012.

A few years ago I would have called him the most overrated player in the NRL. However later in his career he has become more consistent but I feel it would be a mistake I think, just a bit to old to come over and make an impact in his position.

I agree, it would be a no brainer IMO.

I've always rated him incredibly highly. Would be one of the biggest signings in the clubs history if we signed him. Up there with Fitzgibbon, J Smith, O'Meley etc etc

hmm, lets all go nuts for sammut and chase who couldnt make it in the nrl but not fancy this guy??? i see where you are coming from

to coin a phrase from RA himself "rocks and diamonds" for me!
a class act when he wants to be!! however would he go well in SL , ??? YES big time!!

Overated!

he's as windy as cooke so it would be a replacement

could we afford Anasta under our salary cap for 2011?

.

He's off to Warrington.

They'll have plenty of cap room.

get him signed!! but can anyone see us signing a halfback for 2012 when saints and warrington will be after one??? fc should move quickly for him now cause he wont be on the market long
