this site is supposed to be rumours.

come on all you people in the know where are the names of people linked to the bulls, is FC doing his negotiations in secret, this thread used to keep us all entertained over the winter guessing who was joining us.

yes Monkey Belly, fully agree with you, where are all the rumours to add to what little we do know.

On the other hand, we have had rather a large dose of realism of late, which has undoubtedly stunted the quantity and quality of rumours...Scott Murrell full stop. I am discounting Matty Blythe as a rumour until those that mention his name say why they mention it, as a want or as a rumour. But plenty of good wants on the preview squad list OP

My first thought on the Pryce news was 'why?'. Why offload a proven SL player from a paper thin squad? Even Joseph would add another body to the squad which is not exactly packed with prop forwards

But on reflection I think we have to trust FC and the new regime. I'm pleased that Cummins isn't just 'making do' with Pryce and Joseph just because 'they are there'. He obviously doesn't rate them, so he's moving them out. Good for him! He's putting his mark on the squad, and I'm prepared to believe that he knows what he is doing and has definite targets in mind or negotiations for those positions.

Basically, lets give the guy a chance

To me, it's just a sign that Francis Cummins isn't willing to take on board slackers and people that need to be carried.

Pryce has had more clubs than Jack Nicklaus. I'm sure each coach has thought he could make something special out of Pryce's incredible raw ingredients & has failed. All credit to FC for getting rid of the waster. I thought FC lacked balls as a player, seems he might have grown some (or got one from Paul Wood).

Again both nas and Sammut are referred to as possibly going to follow suit and sign a new contract, I still don't know how that can work based on what we know about the quota.

Can only work if either one of existing non fed trained quota player leaves or some one gets a dispensation removing them from non fed trained quota ( which is what sammut had this season)

Re: Preview of 2013 squad - who's left plus rumours : Tue Oct 09, 2012 11:32 am  

led to believe sammut will be given dispensation for a further year, mentioned at odsal the other day.
no proof though
