Would be delighted if we got Eden in. Proper rocks and diamonds player - we've not had that sort of entertainment since Meli left

Re: McDonnell : Mon Jun 22, 2015 7:12 am  

Lee Smith (28) looking for a club, just come back from Rabbitohs he's been training with them for 3 months.

Might do us a job at fullback for rest of season?

Can't stand him, but needs must I suppose.

Saints have spoke to Brisbane about Eden. I don't think he wants to come home yet tho.

Yeah, you would have to say it's at least 6 months.

And the rest. A snapped Achilles is a career-killer. Much, much worse than Lomax's injury.

It might be better to just cut our losses and pay the guy off. If not we're faced with the extremely risky situation of starting next season depending on TWO first team regulars who we can't be sure will ever play again to their former standard.

One player - yes. Two is an unacceptably high risk.

Ended Newlove's career. Shocking news for the guy and the club. We just cannot buy a break (ironically).

Much prefer we go for an injury free Locke for the rest of the season than bring someone over from the other side of the world who might not be fully committed and may take longer to settle in.

You have a point but can it be done? The legalities alone could be time consuming.

I can imagine. He seems to be playing really well in the reserve grade, getting plenty of plaudits on Twitter for his performances, including length of the field tries at the weekend.

Would be a great addition. The cynic in me suggests we won't move for anyone. McDonnell was a push, don't see them moving again.
