Signings Discussion for the 2011/12 Season

[Luke]

So, who do you think will return for the Steelers for the new season out of the players that are yet to be announced?

Personally, I think we will only see Legue & Sarich back.

I think Bolibruck & Talbot will retire, & Domish will move on.

I wouldn't be too fussed if Bolibruck didn't come back, would love the others to return though.

Thoughts anyone?

I would love to see Joey Talbot play with us for another season. But deffo want Sarich Legue and Domish if he stays in the uk.

I'd be over the moon if Talbot stays on. Up to now with the signings we've already made I think we are severely lacking in the goalscoring department. However i don't think Finner's daft and not noticed this so maybe our other forward signings will be real crackers.

The scoring isn't my biggest concern. The last three D men is. I'm sure our last couple of forward signings will be of a decent calibre. If both are capable of 30 goals, I think we'll be fine. Defense wins championships though and if we can combine that with Domish, Sarich and a solid stay at home D man, I'll be happy come September.

[Luke]

I would like to see both Domish and Sarich back, however id be surprised if Domish came back, also Boli for that matter. As you say our defense is a concern, with Huttel/Thomas being out only defensive signings so far (and lets say Sarich is expected back) we certainly need a couple of top end imports. Forwardwise i think realistically we can only expect one of Talbot/Legue to return, so I'm expecting a pretty big signing there as well.

Ashley Tait confirms offers have been made to 4 players. Anyone got any names to throw into this?? Heard Ryan MacDonald as netminder, wouldn't mind that

Devils re-sign Macrae, as well as capturing 'Frank the Tank' who looks a right beast.

Mike Ramsey rumoured to be our last forward.
