anthony quinn is going overseas

[1999]

ive only heard rumours about warrington..

If i factor in rumours sally there wont be a team left

He is still signed and if he's gettin 300k he is gonna be playing me thinks.

[stormsally]

That's why the players salaries should be confidential.  Now we have an idea what Quinn is on (how do we know?) - our expections of him has altered.  When he does return & if he isn't released - then if he has a bad run it will be hard not to think about other players let go.

[CooperCronk]

Vossy said on the FS tonight that News were going to release the players' salaries for public attention and when Bellamy found out, he threatened to resign.

More BS from News or more rumours.

I've had a gutful!

Alot of good young talent there, watchout for gideon & kennar, future stars.

I don't think it will be to many weeks before we see this 1st grade line up out on the pitch.

[Michael :P]

Gains:




1. Maipele Morseau
2. Brayden Wiliame  
3. Mahe Fonua
4. Kirisome A'avua - may play 2nd row or lock next year.
5. ??
6. Ben Hampton (c)
7. ??
8. ?? (I still think given some confidence Jorden McLean can still be a star, 10+m every carry)
9. ??
10. Jarome Wilson
11. Tohu Harris
12. ??
13. Slade Griffen

14. ??
15. ??
16. ??
17. ??

Toyota Cup squad will change alot by next season, effort in futility but these are the only players that I think are certainties for next year. Though if they havent recruited a 7 to allow Morseau to go back to Fb then I'll give up. Id also be hesitant to play Kennar next year, come 2012 he'll still have 3 years eligability for NYC, dont want to burn him out. Also keep an eye out for Jason Havea.

[Michael :P]

The Hills Sports High School came from being 14 - 10 down at half time to record a great win the the miserable wet conditions at Wentworthville today, winning 14 - 16.

Eels Toyota Cup player Jacob Loko scored to give his school the lead for the first time in the match, Jason Wehbe continued his good form with the all conquering NSWCHS side to convert and push the lead out to 4 valuable points.

*******
The Hills Sports High School get it on today against Bass High in a second round clash of the ARL Schoolboy Cup. The game will be played at the home of the Wentworthville Magpies Ringrose Park at 12.30 pm.

Both teams go into the clash with good round one form. Bass defeated St Gregory's College Campbelltown 24-10 while The Hills smashed Westfields 50-16.

Bass will feature many players from the Canterbury Bulldogs SG Ball team such as Brendan Santi, Joshua Rainbow, Siua Lapauho and David Minute. The Eels Troy Errington will also feature.

The Hills are also chock-a-block with representative players. Eels halves Jason Wehbe and Jason Seage and Bulldogs Gerard McCallum will figure predominately. Watch out for Hills big prop Jason Havea. He has been in great form of late.[/size

I really hope we still have this kid on our books after whats happened. Really starting to turn heads this year.

This is where you may have seen him before

[Michael :P]

There were quite a few lads playing who are involved with rugby league. There were two fine no. 8s on the field. For CHS Jason Havea from Hills is a 115kgs athletic freak with a great fend and a superb instinct for the game, with overtones of SBW. But don't get too excited about him folks because he has a 4 year contract with the Melbourne Storm.

This is the latest news I could find that we still have hmi on our books.  ;D.

Some suggestions the ARU may be after hm as well as the Eels, he still has a contract though  .

I'd take him as a bench prop, good go forward, would be happy with him.

[Michael :P]

Id take Steve Simpson as an assistant coach, thats about it.
