Quality Signings : Sat May 16, 2009 3:44 pm  

There are some good players coming over from the NRL next season. Hull have just confirmed the signing of Craig Fitzgibbon from the Sydney Roosters, and with the Saints signing Sia Soliola and Huddersfield signing David Fa'alogo it should make the competition even better. Just hope we can retain Menzies and maybe bring just 1 high profile player over from the NRL.

We need to get Lynch's signature on a contract asap. My worry is we'll be unable to attract quality signings and fail to keep our best out of contract players Lynch being one of those. We have got rid of Tupou and should release Solomona. Who else is out of contract, who should we let go and who should we try to keep?

Apparently Morrison is a bit down at lack of discussion re his next contract with Bulls and has asked his agent to sound out other options for next season.

Given the quota status and his injury situation the club would be doing exactly the right thing if they looked around for other options before offering him any new deal.

I would love it if we could get Morrison some sort of coaching position.

Agree, I know we havn't done much this year, but I don't think his appearance would make a difference to our league position. I would get rid myself, and look for someone else, especially if we release Solomona. Could get someone half decent?

I'd have liked to see us sign Soliola but apart from that I don't think we've missed out on anyone special. We've a load of young backrowers coming through so we've no need to sign anymore.

If we do sign anyone I'd say it's a halfback and backs that are the priority along with keeping our better players whose deals are up this year.
