Is townsend a definite for the cowboys or should we make an offer?
not definite, but the report is $2 million over 3 years
and no we shouldn't make a play at him.

Dobbo just told Wally on Nine we're chasing Reynolds
It sure looks like staggs is holding out to see if we lose dearden or don’t get Reynolds so he can play 6. It’s not smart as he could have a set back with his leg at any moment from now on.Badel is reporting the Broncos are chasing Reynolds and pissing Dearden about.
Tom's manager Sam Ayoub:
“We haven’t received an offer yet from the Broncos so we’d like an indication of where we stand with them. Tom is one of the most talented young playmakers in the game and I can assure you there is no shortage of interest in him."
“Tom has a number of offers to consider. The Cowboys have been very persistent with their interest in him, so the ball is now in Brisbane’s court and we’d like a reasonable determination from them on his future.”
Walters says the two aren't mutually exclusive - Reynolds would act as mentor:
“I am confident we will keep Tom and our off-contract players, we’re not there yet but we will get there. We will be discussing Tom’s situation in the next few days. I’ve got a game to focus on this week but Tom is a talented player, no doubt."
“Adam Reynolds is a good player and there is some interest in him, but we need to tie up Kotoni Staggs first and if and when we do that, we will look at our other scrumbase options.”
Tom's buddy Ethan Bullemor:
“Tom is a really class player and he will keep developing and be a great halfback. All of us would love to have him here, he is a good friend of mine, I came through playing my junior footy with him, so it’s good to be out there with him."
“He is a director who takes the line on. He is a good communicator, as a forward, he is someone you want to put your body on the line for.”

I saw that after making the post. At least they're using him and it wasn't for the sake of making a signing but I don't understand the rush. They have Cory Paix right there on good money, why not give him first dibs?I guess the fact that Levi was named this week shows that someone didnt think Turpin could hold on until round 10 to make use of the loop hole.

I still think they could have played this smarter. A lot of teams have been handed permission to play train and trial players like Ben Marschke at Sydney and Bradley Deitz at Canterbury - give Paix a crack cry poor and say he's actually a half and we have no other hookers allowing us to promote Levi as a bench option.
Again how Sydney were able to get away with Ben Marschke surprises me considering they had Victor Radley and Adam Keighran right there.
They're not the only team getting away with it, I just thought the NRL would have been pretty stringent but if anything it seems fairly lax.Why does the Roosters getting away with whatever they want surprise you?
Didn’t take long...Wonder when the Moses to Brisbane rumour will start based on Nolan's relationship with Isaac? Im guessing rd10 when his option expires...
Favourites because they are the only ones who have offered him a contract...
