If he's available, we should be in for him. He'll only be 28 then, and would make a huge difference to any team. Would also show the doubting fans we mean business. Should be do-able.

They should try there best to sign him of course, he is one of the best, if not the best player in the world, means we have to have another season of the current inconsistent halves though. However i doubt he would come to superleague due to origin and kangaroo involvement.

Great idea I'd love him at the Bulls, problem is we need a solution next year IMO - we can't wait for him till 2011 even if he wanted to come.

If we could get him for 2011 and on a longer term deal, 3 years say, I'd be willing to wait. I'm sure we could pick up an experienced campaigner for a 12 month deal, much like Menzies.

Also, if we strengthened other areas of the team in the meantime, he could be the final piece of the jigsaw in 2011.

I like the thought, I really do, I just cant see it happening. If we could do just as you say then yes, Im onboard - the club should go for that. But I'd also like them to be pursuing more realistic targets for next year as well.

I think that we need to concentrate on getting to 2011.

With all due respect, I don't think any of us know his thoughts / chances on coming over.
