I'm hoping and praying that Gentle has got another reserve grade 'Dobson-esque' type player lined up grom the NRL who can cut it over here !
Mind you, as you rightly state, i guess every coach in SL is trying to find the same.

Those are the 2 I'd sign.

Good player with a good kicking game, nothing spectacular but works hard.

He started this season as Bulldogs 6 and moved to 7 when Hodgkinson got injured, Hodgkinson's on his way back and the form Josh Reynolds at 6 may see Keating droped and not be offer a new deal.

Can't see teams like Salford and hudds letting 2 half backs go , especially when there 2nd half backs holdsworth and brough are both under contract . Think unless we get finch we may after go to aus for someone .

sure its been reported that salford are skint!

Brent kite mentioned again to me today

There's some sort of transfer embargo on them isn't there. ?

Manu to be confirmed a Saint on Tuesday .

manu and turner both looked like they were playing for saints already

Turner probably thought he was.

He can go now, I'll pay his taxi fare.

I'll give the driver the tip.

I'm hoping Arundel turns out to be the Gleeson/Lyon mould centre. Good feet and able to draw and out his winger away.

Turner looked uninterested at times today

Turner going for the big play again at the end, giving Sts another set (4th tackle, I think) which allowed them to get in the position for the attacking kick, from which they scored the match equalling penalty.

Two weeks in a row (can't comment on London game cos I wasn't there), where his high risk play has not come off and cost us points.

Think people are being unfair on Manu tho. Well policed by Sts, tried hard, just never came of for him.

Turners just a dumb player.

However, if he caught the ball he would have been a genius.

As did most of the team. Infact no one stood out today.

A very good point, but I play on percentages.

Whiting gets it right most times, hence a clever player.

Yep and he scored some beuts this season....but he is leaving so he has to be dumb

If he had caught the ball he'd have been lucky to get away with the mistakes he made. This is exactly the problem with Turner, he's good for a few games bad for a few.

I see your point, but I wouldn't say he's a dumb player. It would have been a game changing move, which if it had came off would have won us the game and we would all be crying again about him leaving.

FWIW, I thought he had a pretty poor game today. Crooks, on the other hand, is looking good.

Cost us 3 points in two weeks, defensive deficiencies evident while Agar was in charge are creeping back into his game.

He was nowhere near the team at the start of the year, got a chance through injuries and took it, but he's been poor of late.

Going to really miss moa. Only forward who runs and defends with any aggression

I would, he doesn't seem to learn and makes the same mistakes over and over.
