Brisbane Recruiting and Trading

[Ringo]

With so many rumours flying around and some with legs thought I would start a thread for discussion on them as they arise.

Already we have heard rumours of Cloke and Josh Jenkins as possibilities and neither really appeal.

This one I am comfortable with - Chasing Jarrod Witts - Could add the forward experience to help Schache, Hipwood and Freeman. West is off contract and I doubt if we will renew contract.
However Pies are relatively difficult to deal with so hope we do not give the kitchen sink to get him -  James Aish spring to mind for the Beams deal and Pies definitely the winner there

Leppa basically rules out getting Cloke in this interview. I'm not totally against Jenkins, but we'll be paying overs and don't really want to do that.

Witts sounds good to me, our draft position makes it easier to bargain for him cause he can just walk to the draft, where we'll hopefully have pick 3 or 4.

Witts isnt a very good forward so i hope that isnt your plan for him lol.
