Genuinely can't see anyone coming in this year, so think we'll have to make do with what we've got.......which on paper should be nore than enough......but isn't for some reason.


If we are playing to our best it's more than enough to make the top 3 and a good run in the play offs for sure. Not convinced we have the guile and on field leadership to win a title though.

Right now we would be lucky to make the playoffs.

On current form/players missing this is a distinct possibility. We are way off our early season run.

We don't need more bits, we need a better mechanic.


I get the feeling that even if we had free reign to sign whomever we wanted and no cap or quota restriction whatsoever we would not win a title with our current set up. Within a few weeks they would be struggling to play the ball and hold onto a pass, stood in silence under the posts.

Careful what you wish for. We may end up not changing the issues with the team, but with an even whizzier whizzy rascal.

So, whilst Wigan sign up Leeming, Walters & Chan, 3 young players who are already part of SL, we chase aged Aussies who may or may not stay here, let alone perform.

Our scouting & recruitment really does need sorting out.

If we had signed any of them I would be feeling a little 'meh'. We have Walker so don't need Leeming the other two fall in the 'project' signing for me. Surely Wigan have better coming through their own youth system? Chan I haven't seen enough of to comment on though to be fair.

To be fair the core of our pack is all homegrown Smithies, Havard, Shorrocks and Byrne.

Powell and Farrell have been cornerstones but are coming to the end. Leeming is likely Powell replacement.

Brad O’Neill, Junior Nsemba and Harvie Hill all between 18-20 years old and will continue to get opportunities

Leeming fills a need while O’Neill develops.

Walters fills the hole left by losing McDonnell, Nicholson and Pearce Paul.

Chan is a project signing.

Can’t rely on the academy to fill every hole IMO.

Mr Snoodle is spot on. Powell expected our over 30s pack to do the business which may happen yet. Our own young forwards just don't seem to get the chance as they do elsewhere.
