  • I wouldn't mind him but not on too much money as he would be injury cover for norman

  • I sure that feelers have been put out to gain interest in case our halves don't work out, it's a smart thing to do. But it doesn't mean we are genuinely interested, we may have only asked his price.
  • I pwlersonally don't think backs transition from the UK very well. Ellery Hanley is the standout, and to a lesser degree Gary Schofield. Since then I can't remember a backline player to come here and be a huge success. Tomkins, Hardaker and Thorman failed. Brian Carney did Ok, as has Widdop and Thomas Leuluai.. But no real superstars. Unlike forwards, where players like Graham, Burgess, Gareth Ellis and Adrian Morley all proved themselves as top class.
    • And Widdop moved here at 16 so had 4-5 years, during his biggest development stage, playing against top class opposition.

    • Gary Connelly was a good signing by the bulldogs in 1993,
      Before him they also signed welshman Johnathon Davies with some success
    • Joe Burgess also failed

  • Don't see it happening. 

  • Just digging around, this has come from a site called the 5th Tackle, notoriously known for starting bogus rumours and reports to try and get readers and viewers. 
    No credibility whatsoever so I would pay little attention to it. 

  • Persist with Gutho, he will develop into a really good 5/8

  • Wouldn't be surprised if the Dwogs have already got him?

I don't know if I'm right but my next best option is Maguire especially if he can guide the Blues to a series win with all the players not available for selection."
