Did his shoulder too. Had a few weeks off with that as well I think

Not aimed at you NF, but there is an air of expectation around that Bennett is going to turn everyone into an international standard player. Mentioned in the Ben Rogers thread, as well as regarding the likes of Kaufusi, Paterson, Southern, De Gois et al magically becoming quality overnight...

Bit OT here Matty, but you have James McManus on both wings in your dream team. Suppose you can though being a dream team and all!!

Any chance of no more ........ for Ciraldo posts? Surely I'm not the only one bored of reading every second post bagging him/wanting him dropped? We're all pretty much in a agreement that although he tries hard, we (mostly all) feel we have better options available.

A lot of that came from having the half on one side of the field/ruck and the 5/8 on the other. Effectively controlling one side each.

Bit of a bump but the UK press are reporting Kaufusi is off to Harlequins http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/rugby_league/3708534/Antonio-Kaufusi-joins-Harlequins.html

Precious or not, there is no need to respond with this is there? There are women and younger people on this forum that don't need to read this immature rubbish.

Not so sure Josh. As competent as they both have looked, I can't see Stone having 2 rookies in the halves. I think we will see Stig and Gids myself.

I thought the dragons had the Stanley brothers to replace Boyd (didn't they re-sign Chase from Melbourne for that exact reason?). I think Wes needs to be careful he doesn't just relocate to be depth at the Dragons too. Good luck to him either way though.

Good luck to him. Much rather see him in the UK then tearing us up with another NRL club! Too good a player I think to be in reserve grade.

Gees I feel for Rick Stone. Really been mucked about and I agree with you Alicia, I don't think he has any say at all into what is going on at the moment. The year isn't done yet, but I do worry if we cop a big loss things could spiral out of control. The boys haven't let their heads drop yet...

Interesting comment on whether any players may come to us though.

To be fair Maddog. This thread has been set up for all 2012 conversation. It's better having the one 2012 thread then all of them being infiltrated with everyone's line-ups as was happening until the mods stepped in.

Not so sure myself. The bunnies have been in strife for a few years, the Titans not so much. Searle seems like a quality CEO so I think they will be better. Besides, Douglas, Myles and Champion are going to be closer to family so I think that will benefit them.

And don't forget Palmer and Tinkler saying we weren't using our full cap when they first got involved so there might be enough left for Bird and/or others.

It could be a good thing for Cory too. Another Josh Perry situation. Maybe he needs a fresh start somewhere else. Yeah, he has potential, but how long will it take to see it? Bennett is good, but it's not all about what Bennett can do, Cory has to show that he wants it and I'm not convinced he...

NEWCASTLE centre Junior Sa'u will sign a new two-year deal with the club this week, but hooker Isaac De Gois is expected to be the first big name casualty of the Wayne Bennett era. De Gois is off contract at the end of the season and had negotiated a new three-year deal with the club months...

Think you could be right there Sammyyy. While I am all for picking him if he's playing well enough, if he's not though, I hope he won't be playing for sentimental reasons.

Well said guys. I live in Byron Bay so getting to the games is not easy for me (can't believe we aren't playing the Titans on the Gold Coast this year). I have lived abroad for 8 of the last 13 years and I can tell you it's not always easy to watch games in non-league areas but you'd be...

There are teams I really don't like (eg Manly) and others I enjoy watching play (eg Tigers) but I can only support one team. It's stressful enough as it is supporting one team anyway.
