Horsebra & Hunt. Just what the doctor ordered and
Also aggressive no nonsense players we've lacked

Just need Jack & we have the Bash Bro's.

Maybe Richo listens to me! 😛

I would think that it will be one of Horsburgh / Hetherington and one of Frizell / Bird, plus Royce.

if the rumours regarding To'o are legitimate Richardson will leave a spot free and some cash in the cap to make it happen.

If To'o is coming in reality, I think Jack Bird is off the list. Only so many spots for outside backs.

I think Bird's coming across to either play on an edge or fill a bench utility spot if I'm honest.

also please ignore the reported pricetags we are supposedly offering hunt

nowhere near the reported $650k

yeah it’s just a superficial observation on my part…although I’d like to think we are aiming higher than 8th though. (Albeit eons away from where we currently sit)

I’d be happy with not last 😁

Not sure where this Hetherington talk is coming from .. but yes Hunt, Bird and Big Red from Canberra have all toured the Centre of Excellence at Concord.

I believe we've got a better than good chance to sign Hunt and Bird .. but Horsburgh I'm not so sure .. he has already stated he misses home (QLD) .. but hey money speaks louder than words .. and we've got the money.

Could you imagine our forward pack next season:
8. Klemmer
9. Api
10. Hunt
11. Fainu
12. Horsburgh
13. Bird

Back up forwards:
Johanssen
Pole
Miller
Porter
Twal
Seyfarth
Sione Fainu

Bird isn't a back. Tigers sign him as a lock/backrower

Who said Miller is still 130kg at this stage of the season?

Those weights are preseason measurements and Miller is a 19 year old kid.

The smart money would be on that figure being wildly different. Personally, whilst he has a long way to go, I reckon he looks much smaller now than February.

Jordan Miller​

Why not both?

Somewhere in the back row is no doubt his best position at this stage of his career, but I have doubt that he’s willing to do the hard work required.

Yea I think all the rumoured aognings the last couple of days have huge question marks over them. Wait and see if any sign on then hope for the best I guess

Yep, Richardson isn't the type to spend overs. Totally believable if Pascoe was in charge

 

[coivtny]

He's not a taco.

I'm looking forward to what the farewell list looks like next week and what surprises we see

 

[magpies forever]

Wonderful news. What's it gotta do with us? Or in this thread?

Sullivan opportunity?

 

[hsvjones]

Sullivan opportunity?

Sullivan has to be gone as the coach and CEO don't even mention his name in any interviews or PC.

Im on the fence with Frizzell the last aging forward we took off them isn't exactly a great buy. My concern if he comes here for any more than 2 years we're in plodder territory.

He is another knights movement like Klemmer out to pasture at the tigers. Only if on short contract and $$$$$$ from the knights
