        Would be cheaper and is also a FA so we'd get him for nothing - injuries are a concern though

          I'd give him a go for sure.

            Same - he's been really good playing as a Rance-lite this year, and he isn't a permanent threat to piss off for a year (or longer).

            Is he contracted for next season? Doubt North would be willing to part with him cheaply after investing so much in him just as he's starting to show something.

              Unrestricted Free Agent.

              The little I have seen of him in the past couple of weeks has left me unimpressed. Disposal and decision making looked suspect - dosen't seem any better than Talia or Roberts to me, although his size would be useful to play on the gorillas if Roughy is to play ruck/forward.

                  North would be pretty peeved if he left after they've kept the faith despite all his injuries.

                  He's worth going after, he would enable us to use Roughy as a second ruck/forward so that we effectively patch up both a KPD and a KPF/second ruck with one swift move.

                  I'd be all over it - especially as a free agent.

                    I don't buy it. I think it's player manager fluff to be honest. We actually have some depth already and I don't see Tarrant any better to what we already have. Maybe I'm looking through rose coloured glasses.

                        I've already got one of those boys. These threads are just for fun.

                          Yeah he's planning on leading a fairly ascetic life post footy anyway I think.
                          They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

                            Carlisle's tainted goods. Let him be someone elses headache.
                            But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                              Not sure on Tarrant ( pretty injury prone )
                              The Rance idea is okay in theory, but there's more chance of Murray Rance making a comeback than it actually seeing the light of day

                                Carlisle for me. He was in incredible form before bomber wanted to make him a forward. What an addition he would be at CHB
