Ponga was talking up his combo with Brown next year too, so I'm guessing it's the same wishful thinking as the last five offseasons when we were getting him. Should know after the 10 day cool-off on November 10.

Nov 1 is for OFFCONTRACT players.

Unless permission provided to talk with other clubs or released he isnt going anywhere. Read what Newcastle said - they are not releasing him early, so doubtful if they will let him talk with other clubs. He still has 2 years left in the hellhole that is Newcastle.

Thats that then. Any word on Leka's cousin?

Surely they would love to be rid of his celery. Him and Brown are taking up half their cap lol

On the Dragon's forum they see LPT as in their 17 for next year - they are counting on him and are looking to recruit middles not let them go
I think the rumour is getting more unlikely by the day.

well then he should go to the Bears..

Out of sight, out of mind in Perth, he'll never get picked for Serbia out there.
