The John Hopoate apple fell a bit further out. Already the Cleary father/son combo is causing commotion - do we really need it for the next umpteen years if Nathan comes here.
Isn’t Munster a left foot kicker and plays predominantly on the left?
Isn’t that going to affect the balance of the team?
Also Munster has been quoted as saying he wants to lose weight and move back to fullback once it’s an option. Billy has announced his retiring this year. Expect Munster to follow on in Billy’s shoes.
Someone hit the nail on the head, a fit Reynolds or a younger Reynolds would be the perfect partner.
Reynolds still has it. How it cut up the Titans with that Try from half way was telling of this. A long period off to rest and redevelop his body may do wonders.
FYI I used to think a young Reynolds was Blake Austin.
Brock Lamb may not be a bad option as a back up, Or the Johns Brother that’s at Newcastle.

I think we should pass on cleary and try to get either of the young halfs from Penrith. The money we save could then be used to buy another quality front frower and centre which would give us a much more rounded team. Big name signings just dont seem to pay off for us.

We would have to be allowing plenty of cap space to secure Nathan. If he is not coming it would be nice if he/Ivan - in the interest of us moving forward - be forthcoming in letting the club know even if they dont want to publically state anything just yet.. If he is on his way and they know it or well and good - but from the outside looking its like we are in a holding pattern while we wait for the Clearys to make up their mind. If its not going to happen the sooner we know the more active we can be in pursuing other players, and or committ to extending Brooks before he recieves interest elsewhere.

I am sure Ivan has told Pascoe what his plans are, both short term and long term. At present its time to chill out for the next two years and see what Ivan can deliver, by than it may be time to be looking in another direction or maybe Hogo will be ready to take over. IMO I think Nathan Cleary is zero chance of coming to Concord based on the events of the past few weeks..but thats only my slant on things and could be 100% wrong

The money Nathan will command being at least 1 Million per year i think we should pass on this .
If Brooks is happy to sign for no more than $700k per year then i'll stick to this option .
The big + to Nathan's game is his goal kicking and defence but apart from that isn't that special for what he will command in the open market , will just be a big hype overpaid frenzy cause whoever signs Nathan you know you will get his Dad.

Mate your on the money . Munster is a game breaker on his own and for a Million that is what you should be able to do on your own.

We wouldn't even pick up the phone. Happy with re-signing past champions of the club.

Story in sunday paper about Penrith might offload Maloney to sign Cleary. Also says Maloney was close to Griffin and not impressed with what went on. A little bit about Cleary and Maloney not as close as you are led to believe

Maloney is one of my most dislkiked players. Seems like a real jerk.
