We could do a lot worse than Michael Gordon at fullback. Really think we should chase him.

Hes unreal. Best on ground.

Indeed and with Tedesco going to the Roosters next year, surely his days there are numbered? We would be mad not to have a crack at signing him!

Agree. He's been great. Was good again today. Would get a good 2 years out of him at least. Play Lolohea off the bench or perhaps get him to learn playing in the centres. Gordon at fullback. Would be stoked to sign him, Chooks will probably keep him on their books under their $18 million salary cap.

At least 2 years? He's 34 next year.

Has anyone heard rumours about West Tigers pursuing Jordan Kahu? If there is give me the link straight away. I think he would be good for us as he can play anywhere in the backline and is a GOAL-KICKER. Also send me any rumours about Tigers pursuing Adam Elliot.

Hey, do you know what would be great? A thread with the rumours and sources. I bet that would be really useful.

On the Kahu and Elliot stuff though, I haven't seen any solid rumours yet. They were all speculation or quite flimsy.

Still going great guns though as is Luke Lewis & Paul Gallen who are both 35! I reckon Gordon could easily put in another 2 seasons.

Sorry, I'm keeping those links for myself.

Wise move given the seriousness of the ultimatum made here :laughing:

They tend to drop off pretty fast at that age. Pat Richards first year back with us was exceptional. His name was being thrown around as an Origin bolter. His second year was bog average.
 
Latest rumour is the Warriors are making a big play to lure Graham and Blair across the ditch. I would love to see the look on Woods face if Graham goes across the ditch. He'll be one unpopular man next year if Graham leaves.
 
first time in forever i was able to watch every single game in a round and these young guys really impressed me:

joseph tapine
ryan matterson
jordan kahu
adam elliott
angus crichton

i'd be happy with any of these signings

As of 9:20pm on Sunday the 28th of May 2017…. James Roberts is _**still**_ off-contract.

Good for him. Hope the Broncos sign him quick.

Me too. I'd be shattered if we signed someone with genuine speed in the backline.

Trouble is that is all he has - just steps the one way as well, all the time.

You want him, I don't - that is what makes the Forum go round.

Besides he is a million to one to leave the Broncos.

I really don't see what people see in Kahu. To me he's slow, hesitant, prone to a bungle, quite ineffective in early tackles. We already have Nofo on one wing, if we were going to buy a winger/fullback cover I'd want him to be fast as possible, I don't want plodders on both sides.

Yes he starts for the Broncos but Broncos always field these types of players to balance out the salary cap, cheaper backline options. It's the same reason why blokes like Lachlan Maranta and Steve Michaels have put on a Broncos jersey.
