What I find nice is the fact that we are signing guys for 2 years giving the team stability and less likely for a player to bolt if he has a breakout first year. On the other hand it could be a disaster if they flop. Hoping for the former and find it all encouraging.
You can scratch my back with a hacksaw!
TIF, can we update the 1st page with these 3 players....
so on the release of these 3 + (With rumours of 2 others) I'm saying Seymour & maybe Rapana also going, this leaves us with an opening for (up to) 6 spots still available, with 2 development players still to be a-counted for, but I ask the questions with these 3 players signed for the 2013 season are they still counted for within the squad and salary cap ??
Just seen this on the *Shaking My Head* snoozepaper's Rugby Heaven site....

I'm interested to know whether the words "..known to be delighted to be out of Australia" actually means "..known to be delighted to be out of New South Wales"
Says he's looking to stay with the Cheetahs. If you're wondering if he'll turn up here; I doubt it. It was Foley who benched him last season and has signed Nick Snowden from Eastwood. I'm impressed with Snowden. Skimmed through a Shute Shield match they played against Norths again today to concentrate on Chris Tua-Dads. He looks a prospect all right. Some great off-loads & the SBW "clone" even got away with a couple of shoulder charges that the original would be proud of. Catcher is it's not Super Rugby. Dave Harvey was the star, scoring twice and laying on another.

Thanks Shasta - sounds very promising indeed! Sarel who?!
There are 31 players on the list ATM, including Turner (which says out for 2013).
So that is a full complement of 30 players, with Harvey and Sidey rumoured gone = 28

Just heard that Elvis Teone (hooker) is heading to France and that we have signed the Manley 2nd grade hooker on an EPS - any truth as I thought Elvis had a good season as a back up.

I heard that rumor via South Australia where the kid played his early Rugby.

Ollie Atkins signed for Tahs, demonstrating his IQ is not enough to play for Force - in fact marginally higher than a root vegetable.
So cross him off list of possibles

Give Brent Murphy a shot in the EPS has been around the mark for a few years went over to the shield and did well. If Foley is for real about promoting local talent this is the type of guy they need to go for.
