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.

Actively denied it, much to the upset of most of the saints fans! I was sure he'd of gone for the st.george job but he ruled himself out! Why walk away from a cushy job?

Forwards aren't allowed out of the middle 20 and all sets of 6 should start with 3 scoots from the wingers, regardless of what's going on the field, or the fact the last 3 sets we were trapped inside our 20 for all 3 said tackles... Just some of the joys of Nathan Brown!

The only time I remember Manu playing wider is the playoff vs Leeds at the end of last year and he ended up with a double! We have much the same problem with our other second rower soliola too - would be great running wide yet brown uses him as a battering ram up the middle ...

Dobson gone, offered him a great deal, but was blown out of the water by Salford's offer according to radford. Which raises the point, should we have matched their offer no matter what as he is the type of player we have lacked for years.

Campese looking doubtful as Canberra don't want to release him, which is surprising the way the fans talk about him, they all want rid.

That doesn't leave us with much,

Leuluai, under contract and injury problems
Dureau Injury problems and not sure on contract situation


Anyone else?

Really not confident of securing another half that we need.

Apparently Wigan have been informed of Sneyds availabilty, wonder if we'd be in for him.

Sneyd under contract until 2015, I doubt that Koukash would accept any financial offer-
the only way Sneyd could leave, is to sit out next season.

Reckon it's either him or Campese for us.

Looks like we are going to miss out on Campese now according to Hull Daily Mail, Canberra refusing to let him go early and he wants to fulfill his contract with them, only player i can think of now is Dureau which would be a great signing.

More on Campese

At least the whole of the rugby league world know of our desperation.
We aren't recently historically very good at pinpointing a target, getting the job done then revealing it.
Ellis maybe?

Re: rumours on twitter : Wed Jun 18, 2014 8:44 am  

Campese wants to lead Canberra to a premiership title??

Don't think his knee will hold out another 20 years.

Pitts is a solid player, but we have better players coming through the academy in that position. Think Tuson needs and deserves some time, rather than write him off so early. Huby and Taylor for Watts and Carvell would be great business and probably not much difference in salary. On his way to Melbourne? http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/rugby-l ... zsaux.html
