Rumour on twitter about Michaels being offered a new deal,still not sure despite his recent good form, I'd worry Radford would pick him over Lancaster or Naughton and hold them back, would certainly be more positive about it that a few weeks back though. I just hope it doesn't mean one of our outside backs have fallen through.

if rumours are to be believed naughton will be fb for us next season, so would be keeping Lancaster out. plus, what would that mean for those '2 outside backs' we are supposed to be signing?

micheals has been a lot sharper in recent weeks and looks a good player, with a good partnership with logan, but as said, not worth a quota spot.

Big risk if we are going with Naughton as our only FB, considering he has never played a game there in SL.

Must keep either Rankin or Shaul (He obviously wants to stay, whatever he has done it can't be worst than what Hardraker has done and you don't see Leeds binning him off)

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Tue Jul 14, 2015 6:01 pm  

Shaul must be kept.

Agree on Micheals, think it's the wrong decision to retain him.

Edit: Although, with Lineham leaving that leaves us with only Lancaster & Talanoa for the wing spot. But I think Talanoa will move to Centre, leaving us with only Lancaster. Then we'd have room to sign Vidot & offer Micheals a deal as a back up to those two.

Shaul
Vidot
Inu
Talanoa
Lancaster

Ideally anyway.

Watching his best mate Steve Micheals. Can't see anything in it, still got 3 years at Leeds hasn't he?

i quite like Michaels myself, think we have bigger fish to fry and if cheap would keep for another year

Reckon we could sign one more one of Yeaman or Michaels, depends on salary, quota and the need for position. All things equal you would have to go with Michaels

Very disappointed if we keep michaels. Not worth a quota spot IMO. He's solid enough but if we want to be consistently in the top 8 and challenging top 4 we need better. There must be a better NRL winger available

Charly Runciman looked very good for St George this week and he is coming to super league

Re: Rumours Rumours everywhere : Tue Jul 14, 2015 7:19 pm  

would be pleased if we managed to keep micheals as a back up,but if hes taking up a valuable overseas spot then maybe not,been really impressed with him lately and he seems to have got a yard of pace from somewhere

That would be a great signing for any SL club, struggling to get games at the Dragons, but when he does looks an excellent player, surprised another NRL don't sign him, but if he comes to SL, then I hope it's to us.
