The Cowboys have signed Nene MacDonald from the Dragons today so that potentially frees up Kyle Feldt.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Tue Oct 09, 2018 6:26 pm  

Cowboys have had Antonio Winterstein retire though so they would have always needed to buy a Winger or centre to replace him, Personally can't see Feldt coming over at all but could be wrong hope the O'Neil Rumour is true and and the Fensom deal i can see happening.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Tue Oct 09, 2018 6:48 pm  

A centre partnership of Watkins and O'Neil would be sensational for us
O'Neil runs fantastic lines in attack and is also very hard to stop close to the line although he does make the occasional defensive miss

With Lolohea,Myler and also young McLelland in the halves that is some serious pace in attack,its just a question of who is going to do the organising/game management role?

I would also be happy with a fully fit Fensom too as he would add some much needed steel and resilience to our defence

Not when they have Javid Bowen and Gideon Gela-Mosby.

Also potentially Holmes.

Holmes isn't going til 2020 reportedly and Bowen isn't going to be in near there backline if everyone is fit especially in front of Feldt and Gideon Gela-Mosby is still young and coming through there ranks

O’Neil is a done deal and he has signed just now waiting for us to announce it.

Yes I've read a few stories claiming the same

If signing Feldt means we cant sign more forwards then I'd rather go with Handley/Briscoe/Golding on the wing.

There's always the option to convert O'Neil into a 2nd rower down the line, similar to what happened to Bret Delaney, didn't he originally start as a Centre?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:47 am  

Delaney did start life as the only centre I’ve ever seen who wasn’t able to pass. To his credit he did become a very good second rower

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Oct 10, 2018 10:53 am  

With O'Neil as Centre Briscoe would most likely blossom; again in the middle 8s he didn't have any quality service.
