2010 Squad and Signings Thread

[DIEHARD]

I always really liked Clinton and I am glad he is coming to us. I hope he can recapture his old form after these nasty injuries. I also enjoy having an international flavour in our player stocks. He will also offer us great depth and the Queensland Cup will offer him a competitive and tough platform to come back in. We are lucky to have such a great feeder system.

Check out this bio of him from the Leeds Rhinos website.

I guess this is the best thread to put this in. Did anyone else catch this article in today's paper?

RUGBY LEAGUE: Former Gold Coast Titans prop James Stosic has been punted from his English Super League club Wakefield midway through a two-year contract due to overseas player restrictions.

The Wildcats hoped New Zealand-born Stosic would become exempt from the overseas quota by acquiring a Macedonian passport before next season.

But Stosic has been unable to do so, leaving the club with no other choice but to terminate his deal.

The signings of Daryl Millard, Ben Jeffries, Glenn Morrison and Shane Tronc for next season mean the Wildcats have no room in their squad for any more overseas players.

Stosic will now more than likely return to Australia in an attempt to revive his career.

Meanwhile, foundation Titans forward Kris Kahler has returned from a stint in the French rugby league and will join Redcliffe in the Queensland Cup next year.

Kahler is hoping to forge an NRL comeback, by getting a call up for Dolphins' affiliate club Brisbane during the State of Origin period. -- LUKE TURGEON

A couple of interesting bits of information I hadn't seen anywhere else. anyone think Stosic would be worth getting back, if he was cheap?

Stosic's last few games for us were pretty good, he'd be good to have back for depth.
I don't think anyone wanted him to go in the first place....

He was one of better forwards when he left the club so i'm sure he would get another shot with the squad as we haven't really bolstered the forward pack & he would only be on match payments so he may be a very cheap pick up..who knows he could well be another bargain buy like Joe Galuvao was for the Eels in 09'

As long as we do not resign Kahler, i remember one game for us he played prop and made a staggering -1 meter in the game LOL
