I've heard that we're talking to Chris Thorman about him joining us next year.

Not top class but better than Rooney and a decent Harris replacement if it comes off.

He's decent.. but I want to hear about centre's and wingers first!! Surely we cannot be looking at Nero and Tupou as one of our starting partnerships for next year?

Give Tupou a decent centre next year and actualey play to his strengths and he'll go very well. People need to realise he's not the same type of player as Lesley.

Please God NO. I'd rather keep Harris.

I rate him as better than Iestyn. He'd do a job and if it freed up cash to spend on some class for the threequarters it'd be a good move.

So long as we play him outside someone decent rather than Sykes or Nero!

TBH i don't see the need to replace Harris. Any money available needs to be spent on 2 wingers and centres.

Can you see Harris re-signing for less than a quarter of his current salary with offers on the table from Hudders and Celtic Crusaders?

Exactly Tupou was made a scapegoat for a lot of Sykes problems. As for Nero he needs to work out what his best position is and sticking too it.

I don't mean that I mean that if Harris leaves we don't have to rush out and sign a replacement.

Nero should stick to the back row IMO. He has zero flair and the backs have enough honest plodders.

But from people I know at Huddersfield he considers himself a centre who has to play in the back row from time to time.
