1/4 Chicken & Chips says we have Boof in 2010

[willow]

i heard on LU theres rumors of Greg Bird to GC if its true maybe this is also

That's already being talked about in media outlets.

[tiger_one]

Is/Was Boof ever really in our plans for 2010?

[innsaneink]

Well....balmain bu...oops....1/4 chook n chips says he is so it must be so.

[Balmain Bug]

Well....balmain bu...oops....1/4 chook n chips says he is so it must be so.

I think 1/4 Chicken and Chips is a good mate of Graeme Hughes. .That aint me !

Ink , to be fair to BB, I wouldn't have posted it if nearly all I heard the 1/4 call through, hasn't come true.....we just have to wait and see what all these players supposted to be coming, do actually end up training at Concord this preseason....but I am not greedy...Lima, Boof and Cayless would do just fine

[senexx]

I don't believe this to be true but I would be pretty happy if it was. I would play Laffranchi in the second row.
An inform defensive Laffranchi is as good as Nathan Hindmarsh or Gareth Ellis.

[T-REXX]

i dont think u can ready to much into it.. even for a rumour it hasnt even made the papers, other forums or even the news... so far only one person has said it.. i call BLUFF

[red dogg]

now that the bird is free, could the titans release lafrank to create an attractive offer....

NRLWe don't want Greg Bird - Broncos
From: The Daily Telegraph November 28, 2009

But NRL boss David Gallop has warned that Bird's re-registration won't be automatic. The Gold Coast have also been linked to Bird, but Titans chief executive Michael Searle said the club's salary cap was "maxed out" and Bird would have to be willing to play for match fees.

Hmm......the plot thickens....you would think if the TITans here serious about Bird...the may have to offload some players....

Thought players salaries where detrmined by the NRL salary Cap wise...they would be mighty big match payments for Bird.....

[red dogg]

players only go to melb for match payments, finch/newton/ now mason( not confirmed but linked), now i reckon bird would be a good swap for dallas johnson, so if they offer him johnson wage, and then let lima head to the tigers everyone is happy.

[Buckets of blood]

How accurate is this guy usually?

From memory Quarter Chicken and Chips announced Brian Smith to the Roosters about 2 weeks BEFORE anyone knew, Steve Folkes to the Wests Tigers 5 days before anyone heard of it and Malcolm Noad leaving the Dogs and Greenberg coming in about 2 weeks before it happened.

He doesn't make contact unless he has something.

It would freak me right out if we got Boof back . . . . . to the point where I would wear a 'I love the Fonz' t-shirt for a week if it comes off.



Luv Yas,

Looks like hes a bit askew with this one

what plot?

[BeeJay]

I'd be stoked if boof came back, I was more dissapointed in loosing him then prince to the titans.
his go forward was exceptional.
he knows how to hit the line and stay up right to keep his legs pumping to gain a few extra metres. something most of the forward back then didn't know how to do.
and with the exception of galloways and ellis some still don't know how to do.

his wife is a campbelltown girl so maybe she wants to head back home?

[helmesy]

The Sunday Mail reports the Cowboys have dropped out of the race for Bird. It appears he is off to the Titans.

Let's hope we can do a deal and get Laffranchi back, it would be excellent.

[king sirro]

Laffranchi blows so many tries through hogging it. If he could learn when to let the ball go and when to hold on to it he would be a great player. Runs good lines and in my opinion can handle front row just as well as the backrow. I'd be happy to have him back but i hope he isnt about to go through a "Trent Waterhouse" stage. Waterhouse hit the big time then went through a few years of poor form, and i think its fair to say Laffranchi's form dropped off in 09. However, i'd tip he'd excel with another change and running off Benji.

But up until what was a quite 09, he had been brilliant for 5 years prior.

I wouldnt say brilliant, but yes, he had a good stretch of form and its more than likely he would recapture that form again. But for some strange reason that i cant explain, i just have a feeling he may not.
