If chase is going to Leigh...
Buy Ryan Brierley!

Mullaney isn't our answer at scrum half in my opinion. With need a specialist and a dominant figure who can guide the whole team around the park. Liam Finn isn't a bad shout if he's available, he isn't spectacular but he does seem a very consistent performer with a good kicking game. And we could certainly do with a kicking game!

I agree, and as much as I like Mullaney, we need a 7 who isnt as prone to missing games as much as Mullaney appears to be. Finn is a good shout....so probably not going to happen.

I'd prefer we kept Mullaney as FB and brought in a proper 7.

You'd expect a decent scrum half to be at yhe top of the shopping list.

Mullaney's too fragile to be our 1st chouce halfback. Besides he's better at fullback.

Siejka's been outplayed by every halfback he's come up against so anyone would be an improvement.

Leigh fans reckon they'll be offloading a few, including some big nasty props that some of us are after like Acton and Barlow.

Lets get Moi Moi just for the laugh of the long time rumour!!

Moi Moi would have been good back in the day, not so much now

Action, from what I've seen, fits more into the 'thug' category - but I'd take Barlow definitely

Dare I say it - different times, different needs - Brett Seymour?

Re: 2016 Squad Requirements : Tue Oct 06, 2015 2:40 pm  

And there must at least one rough and ready prop forward at a Championship club who would be tempted to join us?

I can see Uaisele and Ulugia going, they fell out of favour and take up quota spots; Davies and Henry have given us more spots. Although I think Henry was classed as Non-Fed Trined but not Overseas, and Siejka takes up the other "half".

Think you have that back to front with Henry - he IS on the overseas list but IS fed trained [so not on the non-fed list] Siejka is EC [therefore not overseas] but IS on the not fed trained list, so as you say, 'twins' with Siejka.
