I would agree with that. He has great pace and would be a good player on the wing. I have been slated in the past for saying I would rather have him than someone like Fox. With Bradford all over the place they may struggle to resign all their players. None of our back three have great pace so Halley would be a good signing.

We may as well sign Penny then if pace is alls you look for in a winger.

Of those on that list, Andy Lynch is the one that i would be most interested in to sign.

Against him though is his age.
He could however do a job for a couple of years like Paul Anderson did while some of our young props mature.

David Halley is fast but is quite error prone. You have to remember this is a guy that the Bulls loaned out at the start of the season because they regarded him as not good enough. He then went to Wakey and went quite well. He has managed just 5 SL appearances.

Only Lynch from those who I'd consider.

Gareth Haggerty is a player who could do a job for Saints

I noticed too that I did use the word pace a bit too much. He also seems to have a good step and be an excellent finisher. I like him as a player.

I am sure this will upset people but Penny could be a better player if he was coached better.

The reason Halley is "not good enough" at Bradford is because he is not a 20 stone Kiwi. I think he is more a Saints style player.

No, I didn't see the game last night.

Even so, just as a couple of good performance does not make you a world beater, a couple of poor one does not make you rubbish either.

You can be the best half back in the world, if you are playing behind beaten forwards, then you've no chance.

Trust me mate he is the worst scrum-half i've ever seen. He's rubbish, the Hull forwards where giving as good as they got against Leeds' pack imo and he was well out of it. He's being terrible since Bradford and before then he was merely average, he can't lead the team around the park, he can't kick long-distance he can't pass he's awful.

We where camped on the Hull KR line for the last 20 minutes of the game and he still couldn't get us over the line... Poor poor player.

I'd be tempted to give lynch a go. He is good hard working prop but not sure if he is good enough to replace JC.

Anyone who is fit would be good enough to replace JC. I agree JC is a much better player, but we need an established front rower who can play some minutes.

With JC out of the equation is he better than Hargreaves and Fa'asavalu? As a starting prop very probably.

Anyone though of Ian Kirke from Leeds? he is OOC

Kirkie is one of the most under rated players in the league and has to be one of the best finds in the last few years!! i think i speak for many leeds fans when i say we would be gutted if he left. a real 110%er and a big unit with power pace and stamina. a great squad member at leeds

not a chief but king of the indians
