Regarding Dureau, I thought he'd returned OK after the eye tumour. And his injury this year was the same one Moa and Tickle suffered to end their seasons last year and which appears to have held neither back - is that wrong?

Dunno but he was the best half in sl pre his illness so if he were fit and likely to regain that form I doubt les cats would be saying bye

Didn't he get dropped as we'll by the coach after Robinson went?

cant see dureau coming,but cats have signed another 7 from aussie so who knows.

Re: rumours on twitter : Tue Jun 17, 2014 10:05 pm  

Would be a hell of a signing but is he quota and would we have to release or de-register someone

starting to question why we miss out on almost every decent signing we go for...?

Maybe teams are paying over the odds for players.Salford paid a fee for Smith and have released him so they can bring in a fb,they also got Chase and I bet he isn't cheap but he is a over-rated thug.Dobson must have gone for money and if they are paying over the odds for him then they are welcome to him and Walsh will have gone to Sts because of their record but he hasn't impressed,started well but now gone backwards.

Walsh is about the only good thing about the saints team at the moment. Playing behind a completely effortless pack, he's constantly trying things and coming up with cheeky little plays. Easily our best player so far.

And we signed him because Nathan brown had ties with the Penrith backroom staff

Age and or the stupidity of bringing back a 34 year old whose been out for 8 weeks in 30 degree heat - take your pick

For whatever reason it's just never really worked out for him at saints, it was only the back end of last year he found any form, and has fallen out of it again this year!

Re: rumours on twitter : Tue Jun 17, 2014 10:21 pm  

Dureau's leaving because the coach doesn't want him apparently, falling out etc. they've already replaced him too.

Reckon it's either him or Campese for us.

Every time I have seen him,looks as though he was playing down the middle...we had him rampaging down the left with Yeaman and Briscoe.I was amazed he came bk in France but Brown had habit of doing things weird...has he said he is going home yet like he did at Hudds.
