It seems every year we lose a lot of players, this year being particularly bad. Makes me think of the Stars we have signed. Are we the only club to have never signed a true star?
1998 Star signings: Glen Lazarus, Tawera Nikau, Robbie Ross, Rodney Howe(that worked out well, good start Rodney)
1999 Star signings: Stephen Kearney
2006 Star signings: Michael Crocker
We have been the best rugby league breeding ground for the last seven years, when are we gonna get some love.
Dreaming Wishlist: Sam Burgess, Dave Taylor, Fui Fui Moi Moi, Benji Marshall(as Finchys replacement), Isaac luke(this kid is good), Lebron Inglis(F$#k )
Other than that I wouldn't want anyone. We have the best of the rest

The 199 signings were good signings, even Rodney Howe. Crocker was a pretty good signing, pity he had to move on.
Off that wishlist of yours, Burgess - Yes, Taylor - No not at this stage, Moi Moi - DEF no, Marshall - DEF yes, Luke - Yes... Inglis - I refuse to comment on atm 'til I've calmed down.
I'd like Bronson Harrison rather than Lowrie, but that's jus' me at a guess. And Michael Gordon would look good kicking goals out on the Wing...

Given that statement & the hunger,(greed) shown by some Northern cattle for our 'breeding stock'. WHY bring in outside stock from their herds ?We have been the best rugby league breeding ground for the last seven years, when are we gonna get some love.

Wow that is quite a list. Manu Vatuvei would have been awesome can't believe we didn't sign him. Bellamy would make him an unstoppable monster. I gather Mitchell pearce would have been a 5/8.Freshy wrote: Add this.

We picked Ox up from you after you dumped him for Kimmorley. How many games did he get with you? Obviously Manly didn't think he was a star.
Kimmorley came with some great skill - I don't think he would have been seen as a star - a potential star though.
Finch may not have been a star, but he was a known 'good' player
