Check this link to the Sheffield Star today:- www.sheffieldtoday.net/ViewArticle.aspx?ArticleID=2114951&SectionID=5083It concludes with the suggestion that their top three lines will be:- Maltby Tessier Sutter Phillips Finnerty Sacratini Hill Hewitt Tait with Casale as the 10th forward. Forgive me, but there are 6 imports there, aren't there? With Lehmann, Ricci, Sarich, Johnson and Manzano that makes 11! Of course it could just be the reporter getting it wrong........... And where does "our Paul" fit into this line-up? |

Re-Read it guys. The bit about the lines is not a quote from DM or the club, it is Bob W's opinion. He has obviously not factored in the import quota. If and when Sutts gets back Aggy will be let go, a situation I am told he is fully aware of.  |

Lets hope Mr Matsos rates him higher. |

But good old Bob hardly ever gets the facts right anyhow -Ii tend to take what he writes with a pinch of salt. If I was a journalist I would be embarrassed at how often things are incorrect in his reports

No doubt after a bout of hand wringing to the league Sheffield will be allowed to ice eleven imports.
Seems the signing of Moran was little more than a publicity stunt by the Steelers, he's quickly becoming number one bench warmer. Hope he doesn't end up back here, we're a better team without him and frankly he brings very little to the party.

If I was a journalist I would be embarrassed at how often things are incorrect in his reports Yup - no use having a pop at the Steelers for this one, this looks like classic "Whisperin' Bob" all the way... no suggestion that they would get away with (or even try to have) 11 imports - just the usual incompetent writing from the chief rusty spoon at The Stir. No surprise there... surely the only reasons they signed him were to have a pop at us and to just add another body - any set of legs - to the roster to bulk things out a bit. I'd be extremely surprised if he was still with them next season. |

paul doesn't exactly get alot of ice time with shuff though does he.. hardly saw him on the ice when we played them! Just a couple of points: 1. I didn't go to the recent Nottingham away game, so I can't comment on Paul Moran's ice time in that particular match, but in all the games I've seen him play he's had loads of ice time. 2. I wouldn't want Moran back in Sheffield. He's a decent player without the puck, but when he gets hold of the puck he hasn't got a clue what to do with it. There are two very good young players at the Scims (Towe and Dowd) who I believe will go on to be better than any of our Brits, so I'd prefer to see them signed over Moran next season. As for the 11 imports.....Forget it, it's not going to happen, that's just whispering Bob getting things wrong. Regards Doom |

I'm amazed everyone's so interested/bothered. It's obviously not been thought out. You can't have 11 imports, simple as.
The writing is on the wall for Mopes I think. 14 games, 0 points, and he is easily the least comfortable on the puck of any Steelers (and Panthers) player, as Doom says. He gets a fiar bit, spotting on the 3rd line, but he doesn't get any significant PP/PK time that I saw.
Seems quite strange that obviously a fair bit of cash has been spent on Casale for him to be a bit part player, but hey....

Casale is cheap as chips, he is earning a bit of extra pocket money and keeping himself in the shop window. He aint getting any younger to demand a high wage. It's far and away from a fair bit from what i hear. I'm sure Nemesis can back that up as well. |

Fair enough, but someone's paid for his flights and accomodation? And he nearly cost £6k!
Point taken though.

Regards Doom Good points re Towe and Dowd, Moran has got to bring something new to the team he plays for or he will fizzle out. A loan to the EPL would be ideal for him.. |

That's what he got offered by ME here, but turned it down.
I do think the same though, it would do him good.

Did any read the post today. It mentions about Sutter not being able to play now again this season because he won't have been registered more than 14 days after their last home game.
Never heard of this rule, so we sure Sutter can even go back into the lineups?
