Well, whenever I saw Obst play for wakey, he impressed me. Assuming age hasn't caught up with him, he'll go well for you.

My only reservation is that I think he's best at hooker, which I also think about Tommy L.

There is no way we will sign Obst.

Let's not forget he played under Agar there.

When he signed for Hull, my first comment talking to a mate about it was that he's a poor man's Rob Burrow (or words to that effect ). But he's different from what we have, and someone I've always hated playing against as he's a slippery little bugger.

Plus, he's worth at least 20 penalties a season for 'high' tackles alone...

Sam Obst for a year would not be the end of the world

I got a txt last week asking if i had heard anything about Jamie Lyon to Wigan 99% someone just making stuff up cause i aint seen any mention of it anywhere

For me We should get that nice lump some from Joel go to Mark Gasnier and give him a very nice 'signing on fee' with low wages get him here for 2 years he's got no club so the cash would go straight to him

He's got no club because he's retired! After his stint in French RU I very much doubt he's strapped for cash so I can't see him being tempted out of retirement. I reckon that a few NRL clubs will have already tried and failed so what chance would we have of convincing him to cahnge his mind, up sticks and come here?

He might want to give sl ago he's done everything else we would never know if we dont try

Im still hopefull for an overseas player, after all what was IL doing in Aus a month or so ago?, unless he just went to tan his cheeks?

Can anyone think of a 20 year old kiwi centre? I've been told Lenegan is in talks with a player of that description and sadly also, the name of Lee Williams has popped up too, a 23 year old centre from Crusaders.
