    Yeah I'm with you on this one BSA5, sadly.

    I think we should look at him in defence for an extended period in the 2's, and if he turns out to be a revelation... then keep him or trade him, either way we'll do better than his current market value.

    Bevo and Moore, and we wont get much for them but they'll be pretty handy in the GWS line up. Probably White as well

    That would be great news for Jesse and for us.

    Nipper Gordon may be looking for opportunities.

    You'd have to think thet KJ is a target. If there was perceived PR value in Folau, then so too would there be in the son of a (Leaguie) gun. He is also renowned (according to Teddie) to be be fond of the dracmar (genetic - they used to tell the same tales of his Dad).

    White, Moore and Bevan may think that they can squeeze some extra retirement funds out of their careers by moving on and then there is ROK and NicMal who may be interested in healthy twighlight pay days.

    All of the above would be good value to Giants.

    Kizza signed a 3 year deal last year so he won't be going anywhere.

    I think White and Bevo are definatly going. Also a roughie if he doesn't get picked soon perhaps TDL. I'd hate to see us lose TDL

    If they don't get Taylor Walker then White is a big chance to go you would think.

    The word was that the Peewees (sorry Giants) approaches pushed Mitchell's cost up considerably. But by all accounts he is worth every penny.

    If they do take the White meat I hope they at least poach it in stock to boost the flavour.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    White, TDL and Currie........ Probably already talking to Sheedy about contracts.....

    Not sure why they'd chase those guys that can't make our best 22. Subject to contract status, in GWS shoes I'd be chasing Hanners, Kennedy, McGlynn, Jack, Grundy and/or Mal.

    I'm glad Kieran Jack's unpoachable then! But so help me, if the Giants (I like the thought of calling them the Peewees) grab TDL or McGlynn I'll be mad. Hanners is safe too isn't he? I think I recall him signing a long contract as well.
