Is Tiller still under contract? Probably why we were looking to trade him.

Pretty sure he's got another year to go and same with Stack.

Some of the best deals are the ones you don't make.

We neither need nor want McKinley. He would have been handy for Willi though I suppose.

I think Tiller at age 23 and injury free, a big preseason may be of value as a backup in the backline. He has shown some ability in the past and although not overly tall at 190, can be a replacement for guys like Hargrave and Morris if they were to go down. He also ticks your box for a player that has played well in finals

Overall I’m glad we were active in trade week. Very excited about the two F/S’s as I think they’ll be brilliant long term additions.

For me, the rest are mainly squad fillers at this point. By all reports Vez is talented but a little loose off the pitch, DJ doesn’t seem up to it going by only his 4 games in 4 years at the cats, and my gut feeling is Sherman will be average at best. Happy to be proven wrong on the latter three comments and I’m not against giving them a go, but they’re hardly inspiring recruits who are going to win our B&F.

In summary I am happy with the turn over as I’m glad to get rid of everitt as I don’t think he’s up to it. Also glad to keep Hill and Minson too – hopefully we’ll see the former more on the wing next season! I go into 2011 with optimism.

He's a good Italian boy back living in the same city as his mum. His behaviour of the pitch will improve dramatically I reckon!

Overall a win for the club basically a big bonus with the F/Sons,which allowed to free wheel for a change. Vez would want to tighten up or it will be a short lived career,Sherman is going to excite and infuriate. Djkuerra will pressure the likes of Hooper and Vez for a spot.
Very pleased we didn't pursue McKinley,as he is atrocious at ground level and gives the impression he doesn't care!

Some sort of slavic name, is it?

Veszprem is a town in Hungary. Possibly originated from there?

**chef** · 12-10-2010, 10:51 AM

Pretty sure it's Hungarian.

Italian name for the Hungarian town as in "Greco" Italian name for Greek?
