Jason chan maybe as well? Anyone know when the new signings will be announced...someone mentioned we had some sorted already? Penrith are after Dan Mortimer Herald Sun I suspect a SL version of ' Hungry Hippo's ' will descend upon Wrexham over the next 24-48Hrs ,

Why not Peter Fox? Been told he can find another club, British only 26
When was the last time we had 2 out and out wingers, better option than Gardner younger and cheaper?

Yes please!

He's been out of form this season for Hull KR, but I'd like to think he could do well under Parish and, like you said, having Jodie on one wing and Fox on the other, we'd have players with a lot of pace and capable of scoring tries on both sides of the pitch

Not speculating on names but it's glaringly obvious we will need a prop, hooker, 2 second rowers and possibly a winger. The team are crying out for more forwards that are capable of running hard and making decent metres. Without a decent pack your just pi$$ing in the wind.

Agreed we seriously need to buy some decent forwards, id personally buy two props and one second rower our attack hasnt been that bad this year when you consider the amount of games the pack gets dominated in.

Re: 4 signings for next year : Wed Jul 27, 2011 5:06 pm  

Sorry we don't need any more 2nd rowers, do agree we need two props, a hooker/half/omni back, a decent raw boned centre and I'd happily take Fox from KR as he has natural talent to go with his blistering pace.

For the hooking role I'd go back to Warrington and see if we can prize Mickey Higham away, for the centre I'd go for Thomas from CC for one year as we are bound to get plenty of press coverage with his signing and I'd hope that if he was fit in time he'd be very prominant in the media when he plays for Wales in the 4 nations. As for the propr I'm hoping for an old gnarled prop and an up and coming prospect, what about the massive guy from OZ who we were linked with but signed for CC instead?

Re: 4 signings for next year : Wed Jul 27, 2011 5:30 pm  

fox wont be coming to salford, your bang on with that old expensive saints winger, o'hara, andrew ryan the forward was morrison dont know if its still on the cards cause they have a sl licence,
sammut will be on the radar now i guess starting him at 7 and holdsworth 6 with godwin and matty smith exchanging !!!

Re: 4 signings for next year : Wed Jul 27, 2011 6:25 pm  

Not sure if I've missed a post on this guy or if he's already linked with another club but I wouldn't mind seeing Jason Chan from the Crusaders down here next season.
