Were going into 2011 with $ 600,000 + under the cap

Posted by Army of one on November 20, 2010 at 6:02pm

The title explains it all

 

 

There are two sides to this

 

The BAD side to this is that

 

  • We are going into next season with no expierenced halfback
  • Its frustrating that we could not get a major signings
  • Failed atempts include : Johnathan Thurston, Matt Orford, Quade Cooper, Cooper Cronk i wont dissapoint us all by naming everyone

 

On the other hand there is an up side

 

 

The GOOD side to this is that

 

  • We will have massive amounts of money to spend next year something like $ 700,000 i am guessing
  • We might be able to have a crack at Quade Cooper
  • We will easily be able to resign the likes of Joel Reddy and Fuifui Moimoi for 2012
  • Plus we will have plenty of money left over to sign off contract talent

 

Steve Kearney is sure going to have his work cut out for him !

 

Good luck to the boys in 2011 there going to need it

    Quade Cooper is not worth it IMO, goes ok in Rugby but has no defence at all, won't cut it in league IMO.
  • Army of one November 20, 2010 at 6:31pm
    You can teach defence and how can you say that wothout even seeing him play rugby league
  • PM www.sportfirstnambucca.com.au November 20, 2010 at 6:43pm
    for the money he wants isn't it better you buy someone who you know can play league?
    We aren't AFL and just waste money on stunts.

    AGREE matt he would cut it in league with a doubt his attacking game is great has good left right pass kicks the boor long and yeah cant TACKLE FOR SHIT. I think if we can sign him and gets a good pre season under his belt he will be fine. His still young and still has alot to learn. THIS KID could be a SUPERSTAR in our game if he made the switch to league. WE have the rite people at parra such as coach and trainers to help him become this player. I think we will see this happen in the next couple of years. Hill be in a parra jersey b4 we know it.

    I'm not that concerned that we didn't buy a big name, yes Thurston or Cronk would have given us almost instant results, but with Kearney at the helm I have faith. It may take a year or two to come to fruition, but I believe the right man is on the case and he will have the answers.

    I beleive that it will be Brad Murray wearing the number 7 jersey in 2011 athough the contenders include : Jeff Robson, Tom Humble, Cameron Bruest and Tk Amosa

    No orford has not signed with the raiders i think he will stay in the UK because his asking price is to big. We will have to use our cap in moderation and use third party deal
  • Jpav November 20, 2010 at 10:37pm
    so who will parra target for 2012?
  • Army of one November 20, 2010 at 10:53pm
    Quade Cooper or Some other halfback a say tim moltzen wouldnt be a bad idea
