    Sounds like Croft-> Brisbane will happen.

    While it's not a bad signing, I was hoping the Green rumour would come through.

    Not sure how the halves will look next season. I'd rather Deardon get another season in QCup and I think Sullivan looks the real deal, just needed more 1st grade time to get his confidence and timing right. He did an ACL however so not what condition he'll be in March.

    Would much rather Croft to Green. I read Milford will be moved back to 6 to partner Croft, and they will find a new fullback, possibly Isucko.

    1. Milford
    2. Goates
    3. Boyd/Glenn
    4. Staggs
    5. Anyone
    6. Bird
    7. Croft
    9. Turpin

    That's probably the best option for Brisbane.
     
  3. Magic AJ Parker

    Odd signing for mine. Get that he's at least got 50 games under his belt but he looks a pretty average prospect with quite a lot of short comings as a playmaker.

    Another playmaker with limited ball playing skills is really the last thing Brisbane needed.

    This is my concern, I think Green would offer much more. Even if for a season or 2.
     
  5. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Brisbane need a steady half with a decent kicking game. Sezer was my first preference, but Croft isn't a bad signing, much better than all the current options at 7.
     
  6. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    They don't really lack in the kicking department, their problem is they have no direction. They need a half who can take control of the side and construct a set.
     
  7. Julian BJ Taylor

    I agree he's an odd signing. Brisbane needed experience there IMO.

    I rate Croft a hell of a lot higher than most though. Definitely looks more than a pretty average prospect for mine.
     
  8. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    They missed a trick not making a play for Maloney.
     
  9. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    They definitely need someone who can kick. Milford is the only 1 at the moment, unless they use Isucko at 1.
     
  10. Paddy P Orr

    Paul Green is rumoured to be trying to let some other plays go including Granville to try to make a play for Latrell. Tbh I am for it as long as it would be obviously cap complicit.
     
  11. Magic AJ Parker

    The quotes from the Cowboys CEO I think it was on Granvilles availabiltiy in an article on Fox were hilarious.

    The most outright version of a club saying we don't rate this bloke so if anyone wants him they can have him without actually saying it... assuming because of legal reasons.
     
    Cribbage and Paddy like this.
  12. Julian BJ Taylor

    Wouldn't be like Paul Green going all out on a quick fix would it?
     
  13. Paddy P Orr

    Be a change from him going all out not changing anything and expecting different results.
     
  14. Julian BJ Taylor

    The only signing that worked at all recently is Drinkwater and he looks like he'll get the ass now Holmes is on board.
     
    Paddy likes this.

    Holmes back and Mitchell leaving Easts. This bodes well for Qld.
     
  16. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Arrow to Souths would be good too. Be nice to see him in a pack he doesnt have to carry.
     
  17. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Sezer -> Huddersfield...

    In an age where there is such a dearth in halves that players like Hunt, Taylor and Milford are making $1M a season, how is this guy going to ESL?
     
  18. Tartmaster AJ James

    If we let him go, I'm gon be real mad
     
  19. Magic AJ Parker

    Have you seen her?

    You guys are no chance.
     
  20. Paddy P Orr

    I also won't lie to myself and act like these signings will solve all their problems because they won't, just part of them. He still needs to really change how they attack. Running similar angles trying to set up plays is very predictable. Needs to allow them to change the plays a bit.
