I'd hope to tie up Semi and Donaldson most, I think Cook and James will both be definitely on their way.

If Burgess wants to go and we can replace him with a couple of quality players as has been suggested on here then I think that we should go for it, assuming of course that Burgess is unhappy with his lot at Odsal.

Assuming, for arguments sake, that the rumour about him going for Wing and Myler are correct. We would still have a pack of.....

Lynch, Le'Strange, Hall, Scruton, Godwin, Worrincy, Kopczak, Menzies, Langley, Donaldson, Crossley, which seems pretty strong even accounting for Cook, Morro, Solo, Newton and Burgess moving on.

Our pack is not really a problem, our backs certainly are and the halfs need improving more than anywhere.

An unhappy Burgess out - Wing and Myler/Brough in looks like a cracking deal to me.

Also, look at the players rumoured/confirmed to be off - there must be a few pennies being freed up from Newton, Morro and Solo at least and if Sam is added to that then we can add a good bit more to that. If we also factor in the money that was made available for the fruitless pursuit of Wing this season then we really should be looking at getting abit of quality in.

I would have to agree with that to be honest.

Ouch, that hurt.

Just heard that Parramatta have won the race for Craig Wing's signature for next season, so he aint coming to us. Bit dissapointing, would have been a great singing but was also for a lot of money, so maybe it could be spent on more than one player now.

Really? Nothing about it on any news site.

Souths wont let him sign for another NRL club.

my bad I can't read it says they have pulled out of the race to sign him on the daily telegraph, so we may still be in the hunt, says he is too expensive for them.

I hope we're in for Wing, he'd be massive over here. Pair him up with somebody like BJ/Brough or similar and suddenly we look like a top 6 team once again. We would still look a little suspect in the threequarters though.
