Newcastle next year. : Mon Oct 15, 2012 6:55 am  

So the squad has been strengthened.
Looks like new recruits will be Beau Scott, Smith, Poore, Fa'alongo and maybe Waddell from Canberra.

Lost a few good ones in Richie Fass, Junior Sau, Ervan Tui, Eddy Edwards and a lot of good juniors like Kyle O'Donnell, Ethan Cook and Sam Anderson, who will probably all play firstgrade for Penrith next year.

It will be a team full of hard, old lovers next year, but can't really see the long term plan.

Justin Poore has signed for Wakefield - so probably Cuthbertson into the top 17.

Wyong Roos have announced they are looking to field a NSW cup side next year. Wyong are a very wealthy club who have the money for this sort of venture. They are located between Newcastle and the Central coast. In previous years they have funded the Central Coast Storm (feeder club of Melbourne) and Central Coast Centurions ( feeder club of Newcastle) in the NSW cup, but this time they want a stand alone side in the Roos green and gold. Wyong is possibly the only old style Leagues club that kept control of their licensed club, and great business strategies over the past 20 years has seen them buy up golf clubs, bowling clubs, tennis clubs etc - which means the footy club now controls 7 pokie palaces with a combined value of somewhere between 100 and 200 million dollars. http://www.theherald.com.au/story/40921 ... up/?cs=306

Don't know how I missed him off.

Very exciting back line, just need to stay injury free.

Dad's Army.
Great side, 5 years ago.
Guys like Mason, Buderus, Tahu, Scott, Smith, Costigan were all 500k a season players at one time.
