I'm of the understanding Joel Moon is deep in negotiations with management, and Ryan Hoffman may be on the way home (Yay!). My 'source' has also told me cronk is going to move on after 2012, with kelly to be our long term 7 (thus the re-signing tip he gave me)

I was told this morning if Kelly is a new 7 we have no hope and might us well "shut up shop"

as long as coops isnt leaving before 2012 thats fine we can have another year of him play

Where would he go?? Not the titans they have prince not the broncos they have wallace and not the cowboys they have thurston.....i dont see him playing in sydney so that only leaves overseas or the new brissie team if it comes in

Sad times ahead

I'm sure the Tits would be more than happy to take Coops given Prince will be 32 by 2012 and is even showing early signs his best days are behind him just as the Broncs would sign him up in a heartbeat because Wallace is a just good avearage player at best. They'll both have their chequebooks ready and raring to go.

I don`t know much about Joel Moon although I seem to remember that we tried to get him down here when he joined the Warriors so if Bellamy wants him that`s good enough for me.
re Hoffy coming back - if he`s fit and ready to go I`d be wrapped to have him back. I`m just wondering if he`s going to bring Jeff back with him. That might solve our need for another prop at the same time! :)

No to Moon, had promise when he re-signed with the Broncs, is just an average footballer now who has moments of class.

I agree Noa, i think it's the wrong way to go also, between M.Blair, Niko, O'Neill, Maori, Fonua and Williame i think we can do better in house (Agree O'Neill definately deserves a crack). Beau Champions 2nd & 3rd year deal were worth a whopping 325,000 a year so we do have money to spend. TBH i'd rather use that money to lock Sika and Elijah away to long term deals.

Here is an updated 2012 squad list.

Contracted

Billy Slater (2015)
Matt Duffie (2013)
Dane Nielsen (2012)
Maurice Blair (2012)
Justin O'Neill (2012)
Gareth Widdop (2013)
Cooper Cronk (2013)
Bryan Norrie (2013)
Cameron Smith (2012)
Jesse Bromwich (2012)
Kevin Proctor (2014)
Ryan Hinchcliffe (2013)
Jaiman Lowe (2012)
Luke Kelly (2012)
Mitchel Johnson (2012)


Losses

Beau Champion (Titans)
Chase Stanley (Dragons)


Off Contract

Anthony Quinn
Elijah Niko
Sione Kite
Sisa Waqa
Tu'u Maori
Adam Woolnough
Adam Blair
Sika Manu
Troy Thompson
Todd Lowrie
Dane Chisholm
Robbie Rochow
Rory Kostjasyn
Jake Hawkins
Atelea Vea


Rumoured Signing's


Sandor Earl (Panthers)
Joel Moon (Warriors)
Ryan Hoffman (Wigan)
Tony Williams (Manly)
Con Mika (Knights)
Daniel Conn (Roosters)
Matt King (Wolves)
