Tbh it wouldnt completely surprise me
he's been busted since he got dropped from the blues. They brought Beau Henry for next year to play halfback.
I tend to think Henry at half and Mullen back at his natural 5/8th spot gives them a chance. But the knights are a complete inept organisation, it wouldnt shock me to see em offload Mullen and keep Rogers.

Manly will need a half, i dont know what their depth behind Hodgkinson and Foran is. But Hodgo is gone. Wouldnt surprise me to see the Eagles sign Liam Foran and run the Foran brothers in the halves.
Lyon needs to play centre, he's not a 5/8ths ****.

On the Penrith forum at LU they seem convinced Wade Graham is off to the Cows also.

Full strengths thats a team that can push for a top 6.
Weather they can keep it on the paddock will be the issue as there isnt much depth behind it

Eagles are banking on Cherry Evans from what I've read. Mullen is useless for them as he's a five-eighth.

Voss said that the Sharks are making a massive play for Wade

Forgot about him
Will be interesting to see how he goes, lots of wraps on him a year or so ago.

From what is been said Graham is going to the Sharks.

Also dallas Johnson to the Cows

Fai Fai Loa to bolster new-look backline

THE final brick in the rebuilt Cowboys backline was placed yesterday with rising talent Kalifa Fai Fai Loa added to the roster on a two-year deal from St George-Illawarra.

But Penrith five-eighth Wade Graham will not be a Cowboy after agreeing to a deal with the Cronulla Sharks.

Fai Fai Loa joins Antonio Winterstein, Brent Tate and Arana Taumata in the backline for next season after being headhunted by the club for his feats at both NYC and NRL level.

The 20-year-old flyer was a constant menace last year, scoring 12 tries and breaking nearly 100 tackles throughout the course of the NYC season. This year he has averaged well over 200m a game and has 11 tries in 13 appearances. On top of that he has played two NRL games and scored a brace of tries against the Panthers in horrid, wet conditions.

It is those numbers that has executive director Peter Parr excited.

"He's a very, very good young player," he said.

"This year he has been averaging 200m a game which is outstanding, we're delighted to get someone like him into the club.

"He's a player who we've got really high hopes for."

The news wasn't as good with Graham, who the Cowboys had hoped to add to their halves stocks alongside young guns Ray Thompson and Michael Morgan. North Queensland had been in the box seat until the Sharks waded in with a monster deal - believed to be worth $200,000 a season - to steal him from under their noses.

It came once the club had received confirmation that skipper Trent Barrett would officially retire at the end of the season, prompting them to go all out to secure the 19-year-old Panther's signature. Parr said Graham had been targeted for depth in the Cowboys ranks, whereas the Sharks have designs on using him as their No. 1 playmaker.

"The big difference between us and the Sharks is we were looking to add to our depth while they were looking for someone to come in and be a dominant player in their halves - that was attractive to Wade," he said.

The club will reassess whether to go for another half option or stick with Johnathan Thurston, Thompson, Morgan and Taumata for the future.

Eastwood wants to return to the NRL but his English club have put a transfer fee on him which the Doggies are baulking at.

Also Tuiaki looks like he will need another club as the Tigers wont renew his contract whilst he still isnt playing.

Bulldogs say they are baulking but you know the bulldogs, they will get their man with the seemingly unlimited salary cap they seem to have EVERY year! they are also chasing Reni Matua and ANOTHER OUTSIDE BACK?! FMD! Tuiaki will head to parramatta, another club with seemingly no salary cap

Impressive young Dragons winger Joe Vickery has signed with the Titans, very good talent.

My mate lives in Melbourne and reckons he's heard whispers about Cronk being undecided whether or not to stay, he's trying to weigh up $$$$ vs Loyalty.

Its out there now Cronk will stay and the bulldogs have signed Eastwood

Ricky Stuart 2011
NSW Origin Coach
Canberra Raiders Asst Coach

I'd be happy with the assistant coach part... but not Origin part ! Gus is the man!

Gus wont do it though while the same old dinosaurs are still in the NSWRL.

Love the sound of Raiders Assistant Coach.

Won't need to buy Orford then if Stuart can help out the halves

According to a tweet i got off the Tigers, Tuiaki has re-signed for the 2011 season. Which is great news because it means he will play again.

yeah it was on the smh website this morning. Incentive based I believe. The Tigers said they would like to do the right thing for him , not force him to rush his return to try and earn a contract.

Shane Elford to retire this year to concentrate on high school PE teaching. As said by Shane Elford himself
