We've picked up this young backrower for next season. I doubt many will know who he is (I don't know much about him either) but he currently plays for Norths and has apparently been having a fantastic season.

He actually was on the Broncos books last season but stuffed up his opportunity, hopefully he's got his head in the right place this time.

Also according to LeagueUnlimited, there was a rumour in The Ear (so probably not too reliable) that we are looking at Watmough for 2011.

 

[Professor47]

Watmough! I thought he was re-signing with Manly early.

 

[Fozz]

Ugh...god not Watmough.

At least his good form means we probably can't afford him. We don't need more backrowers!!!!!

 

[Coxy]

+1 Fozz.

Ugh, Watmough. While we're at it let's get Greg Bird and Tevita Latu.

I really like Gillett and I am stoked that we signed him. I have been saying all year that we should :D.

Well on July 18th you said you liked the look of him. But you stopped short of saying we should sign him...and saying it a month ago doesn't make it all year.

Just saying :P

 

[Flutterby]

She didn't say she'd been saying it here all year - maybe she's been saying it all year at work or to her friends.

Just saying [icon_razz1

 

[Coxy]

Yes, just like Gus. "I've been saying since 2003 that Israel Folau will be the greatest winger of all time"...nobody can disprove it :P

 

[mal]

I'd take Watmough.

 

[Flutterby]

Take him where?

 

[Fozz]

10 miles out into shark infested waters hopefully.

 

[lynx000]

Nothing would happen, professional courtesy

 

[Aeetee]

would explain why Watacow was at the normanby a few thursday nights ago . . . . . . . .

 

[Flutterby]

How do you know? Where you there? Did you see him with your very own eyes? If not, please refrain from posting hearsay (being accused of being at the normanby could definitely ruin someone's reputation) [icon_razz1

 

[Aeetee]

yes i was there. . . . Maybe. . . Sort of. . . . . Ok i made it up. . . Ban me . :)

 

[joshobro]

About time we looked at form from Qld cup. While we are at it we should sign Ben Vaeau, Karl Johnson, Nat Bowman, Luke Dalziel-Don, Scott Smith and Adam Fielder.

We really should look at a couple of Northern Pride boys in Luke Harlen and Tom Humble, Humble especially he is a gun 5/8 and leading try scorer in qld cup.

 

[Flutterby]

I think you'll find most (if not all) of the Northern Pride boys are already contracted to the Cowboys

 

[TimB9670]

Don't get too carried away with Gillett as we've had many up and comers who don't really make it but all the best Matt!

As for Watmough - he'd be a very good player to have but I would have a conditional contract with huge penalties, clauses, and the likes for any bad behaviour both on and particularly, off-the-field.
