Yeah me to. We was told we had 4 targets and would get 2 of them, we now appear to be scrambling around the lower reaches of the NRL to find somebody! Oh well.

HOWEVER this young kid could have been on the radar right from the start, maybe Ellis IS doing as has been suggested and touting players on our behalf in Oz, bound to happen isnt it!!
what ever happens have faith in PG, CLEARLY he knows his stuff

Fitz had a lot to do with Big Sam's signing, according to the man himself on Sunday. I think he could be instrumental in future signings.

More than happy with the signings we've made so far but without another quality halfback I cant see us winning silverware anytime soon. The fact AP came out and said 'we know who the quality halfbacks in super league are, we've shortlisted four of them and will get two of them' is a little disappointing, as it seems as though were now scouring the NRL for a half decent youngster instead. I think signing Chase would have made a huge difference to pass sales as well, whereas now Im not so sure we'll reach the target 10k (unless we pull something out the bag).

So you think this West Tigers Half back would be in the top four Half backs in super league?

Gareth ellis and West Tigers connection, plus he has being released for next season, would be a bit of a project as a bit of a loose cannon by all accounts but great potential,

It's Terry Smirk, I said this weeks ago.

Smirk & Holdsworth partnership = trophies.

My friend said Gentle was the one who signed him for the reserves, and apparently the young half we are after is highly rated by PG could be our man sounds like he has got potential
