There is a strong rumour the we are chasing Watmogh and that Dallas is leaving.
So:
Dallas goes in 2010
I am not sure when Watmough is out of contract but lets say it's 2010 (get out early clause)
May all seem coincidental?

I would think Hoffman would be a great Lock, good ball skills, good hole runner. His defence my not me of a Dallas standard but he would be a better attacking option by far.

Watmough in the second row.

I personally think this is looking good!

DJ would be good playing with Watmough, would cover the 50 missed tackles Watmough has a match. But since he wont be here I dont want any part of Watmough

Anyway Adam Blair & Sika Manu >>>>>>>>>> Watmough. We know how good Sika was giong before the injury and over the last month Adam was playing as good as a 2nd -rower can play.

I keep hearing this but I highly doubt Watmough is affordable! I mean if we're getting rid of Dallas for salary cap reasons then I can't see how Watmough is on similar money.
Why the hell would Manly let him go anyway?

mate stop starting posts that obviously aren't true...dont believe everything you read, watmough is not coming to melb...if anything he would most likely stay in sydney if the eagles were to let him go...in saying that i don't think they will let him go and I don't think he is the type of player we want. Has 3-4 good games a year spends the rest of his time tackling air.

Shit and here I was thinking that a forum is a place to air your thoughts.
I didn't realize I needed a journalism degree!
And god help if something was posted on this forum that wasn't true.

It is good to see that once again you all miss the point.

I just think there is a rather large coincidence here, we would not be letting one of our best go without reason and I don't think it is just salary cap.
I haven't stated that Watmough is signed. - So I guess what I have posted is absolutely true!

I also love the way you are that blind that you can not appreciate that there are other player in different colours, that can actually play the game of Rugby League, and guess what some of them would me a asset.

Money wise, it would be Dallas and someone else - I heard a rumour a while back about Hoffy having to go to free up cash and position for Watmough.
He has positives, but I wouldn't trade our current stocks for him, as there are enough negatives in his game to raise questions IMO. 
Storming our way to glory!

I do agree that's it a wierd coincidence and I did hear Watmough give Bellamy a huge wrap in turning his season around in Origin camp so maybe they struck up a good relationship.
If Watmough is off contract for 2011 then there's a genuine possibility we could be making room for a big signing.
But if are looking to sign him for next season then I'll put my house on him not coming.

ill admit watmough is a quality player, but too often he just goes missing when the team really needs him Eg. both times we played them in the back half of the year.

unlike dallas who is in everything in every facet of the game

No, he's a quality attacking player. In defence it's still "Hello Mr Turnstile".
