Paul White interview tomorrow in the Sunday Mail.
I expect to be thoroughly underwhelmed ....
Paul White interview tomorrow in the Sunday Mail.
I'll be Locked in :)
White concedes the club is in the market for the right player.The "right" player at the moment would be one of about three types. Brisbane is clearly a big man short, light on for strike out wide and in need of a half to replace the departing Corey Norman.
"It's a tough time but I have faith in the people we have at this club and the work ethic we have among all our staff," said White.
Only interesting part is this
Well lets face it, there's no stars on the market (well there was but twitter killed that) unless Barba is somehow released.yeah, that's where its at for brisbane and it's why one (1) "star" signing will be nowhere near enough to put them back where they want to be ...
Who is he kidding, we've been rebuilding since Lockyer left and will continue to be until we sign some bloody players!
think our so-called rebuilding looks more like this ...
What are everyone’s thoughts on signing Folau on a 1yr deal worth big money just to tie us over until 2015?
IMO it would be a great idea, it gives us a bit of talent to see us through 2014 (which at this point is looking pretty bleak) and allows us to go after some major signings for 2015 (I believe there are a few people off contract :winky:). Then we just piss Izzy off to whichever code he’s next interested in, probably baseball or something and we get back all of our precious cap space.
I think others have said that he could make a great fullback, somewhere along the lines of Inglis. I’m not sure how his passing/kicking game is but I think he’ll be alright, at least he will provide some spark here and there and is guaranteed to fill seats.
It just feels like a good idea to use up some of our otherwise wasted cap space. Maybe Folau isn't the answer but we certainly need someone for next year at least.
just sent a quick email to Andrew Gee with an outline of your proposition ... got a short, sharp response: "narrr, Hoffman > Folau"
