Only this left then.

He will be announced soon.

Based on your guesses, hopes, intuition or something else ?

some-thing else.

Which is what exactly ?

The voices in my head



Let us just see what happens or we will bore the rest of the posters to death at this rate.

Personally I would like to keep Lauaki forever love his unpredictability and mental side if we could get him running on to the ball at speed out wide he would be unstoppable but last season he either hardly got the ball or was stood still when he did. Also would like to see big Sam tied down for at least 4 years.

After some years in the union wilderness it looks like SBW is making a name in the game. He is in the All Blacks squad for the match against England on Nov 6th, I normally hate the game but will be interested to see how he goes.

I always had hopes he'd come back to League

Bradford make their 10th signing so far- news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 138139.stm

We are in talks.

I doubt he will come as he is at the top of his game so it would not make sense to walk out on SOO and Australia so and can't see why it's even a discussion but the player and agent are willing to talk so who knows.

One year deal to be announced very soon.

Very soon ? And presumably that is it for 2011 ?

Any day now I think and yes for next season.

Yeah one year deal for next season, as a stop-gap I assume. Rumour has it that we're in talks with or at least targeting a halfback for the 2012 season on a more long term deal.

Would suit me that. He'll have to train his socks off to get into the 17 and then perform on the pitch to earn his next deal, wherever that may be.

Does anyone actually know if he's good enough to improve us in the halfbacks ?

Is he equally as good at 6, 7 and 9 ?

Nothing better than a player with a point to prove and a new deal to secure.
That's what i liked about Cordoba in 2009, wasn't the best but gave it 110% and got another deal at Cronulla. He's also a hero for slapping Fozzard about a bit in the derby at the dump!

mainly a 6 isn't he?but can also cover 7 + 9.

Nah, mainly a 7 that can play 9.

I can't help but worry that at some point next year our halves will be Rovelli & Washbrook

Just wondering have you seen much of rovelli ?

Rovelli and Westerman !!

He is a decent half and will bring experience to key positions. Also if our halves stay fit then he will be important in helping Houghton at hooker, playing 80 mins every week is a mistake. Not a worldbeater but we have to remember he is being signed as cover.

Knowing our luck it will be Moa and Lauaki

I have to admit, no. But i've done some digging around other forums and the common consensus is that he's a 7 that can cover 9 well and 6 ok.
