    Randall isn't a loss.

    I'd like to see us sign some decent 9 cover though. I feel we're an injury away from lacking depth.

    Word is Leicha is a target. OK depth signing if he signs a minimum contract and is happy to play a whole lot of NSW cup.

    I actually like Buhrer starting games there.

    Lichaa wouldn't be too bad like you said if we can get him for cheap.

    He could have been hindering by Des Hasler's gameplan so he might come good. Worth a crack for cheap money.

    You lads keep winning, and we'll take the PG rating off your Club thread.

    Just saying. Didn't want y'all to be ambushed!

    He (and their entire attack) look so much better when he runs the ball. 
    If we can get him on the cheap then why not hey? Buderus can teach him how to pass

    So if true, looks like Moylan is on the outer at Penriff.
    Would love to get him to play 6 at newie. Lamb and Moylan could be a pretty decent partnership IMO.

    Watson can play centre or FB. Ponga can play FB/Wing, or come from the bench - the same way Barba did early on in his career.

    Also a guy I would like us to target is Edrick Lee. Surely he would get a jersey for Newcastle next year, wouldnt be asking too much at this point in his career too.

    I really hope that the signature of Aiden Guerra has not cost us Fitzgibbon. That guy is a fucking weapon.

    Fitzgibbon has signed for 2 more years.

    Very happy we retained Fitz. The guy is awesome. Our back row is looking really good for next year - Fitz, Sione, Barnett, Buhrer, Guerra, Jacob Saifiti, yates, stone. Jeez.. some good quality young players there, we are bound to lose a couple. The Guerra signing might really come back to bite us.

    Next season, maybe Buhrer continues to start at hooker, Jacob saifiti spends more time in the front row and Sione spends more time at centre. That was we have Guerra, Fitz, Barnett starting in the back row, with Barnett spending a bit of time at front row throughout the game? In saying that, when he isnt injured or off for a HIA Sione is great in the back row, so who knows.

    King
    Buhrer
    Saifiti
    Barnett
    Guerra
    Fitz

    Hodkinson (lamb?)
    Lamb (watson?)

    Ross
    Sione? the other matutias?
    Watson? Plythian?
    SKD
    Ponga

    Jacob Saifiti
    Stone
    Levi
    Yates

    There is prob a couple of signings left in us as well before the next year begins. We are actually pretty skint outside backs which is usually the opposite at newie. Still light on front rowers too. I wonder what % the dogs are willing to pay to get rid of the morris twins. If we could get them cheap then they could be a good experienced left hand edge for us for a year or so.

    I woud like us to go after Liam Knight, I think he is at the raiders now. Was an excellent junior player.

    Things are looking good for the knights next season. At least now too - if Ponga is a disaster (im sure he wont be but he will have his teething issues), we have Watson.

    I forgot to add Moga and Ese Ese too - and Lillyman is a done deal apparently.

    I think parra won 6 in a row in the 50's and 60's but yeah in the modern era you would think that 3 in a row is a record. Newie have only won 4 which is crazy considering how bad they have been for the best part of 10 years.
    Put of current clubs, parra hold the most with 13.

    Newie have signed Slade Griffin - excellent signing. Far out we are stocking up on back rowers though. I guess he is the direct replacement for Kostjasyn but still..

    Buhrer
    Sione
    Fitz
    Stone
    Guerra
    Griffin
    Yates
    Barnett
    Jacob Saifiti

    Whats doing? Surely sione plays centre now and buhrer or griffin start at hooker?

    At least we have won a comp throughout this time which a lot of clubs haven't done. Its especially amazing that we won one with some clubs being able to "legally" spend a shit tonne more money on their rosters than other clubs

    And people badger Bronco's fans about living in the past.

    This is a sinking ship looking worse and worse.
