Jared waerea-hargreaves Would be a great addition to our Squad next year, i'd definately throw a contract at him. He's won a grand final 3 times and played for New Zealand etc so might be tempted by a new challenge?
Burrell i would like to see in the Front row, he's a big unit and i think the speed of league at centre is too much for him. I'm excited to see what he does next year after a full pre-season and like Lefty said i hope he does really well for us, i've got high hopes for him :-)

Front row and Burrell are two distinct issues for me.

Is there really a place for Burrell next season bar back up wing? I don’t think so.

I think we got to much money tied up in our ageing front row without the value.
Time to offload one of the props while there is a fee possibility, and invest in a couple of hungry youngsters.
Hill has got a nice line in toilets in his showrooms tho. :D

he is probably more a modern day winger, than a prop.

He’ll be more of a modern day water carrier next year, just not seeing it. I’m sure he will play a fair few games as he suits our slow sloppy and boring style of play.

i think you have to give a former RU player a full 12 months before judging him.

It was the same back in the day... all those great RU converts were rubbish for ages.

its been so long since RL took some talent from RU, we dont know what the yardstick is anymore.

I certainly wont be writing this signing off before he has had 12-18 months here.... Any experience he has got from the game this season, is just a bonus really.

Re: Front row : Mon Oct 07, 2019 7:37 am  
And that's the problem, time. I'm not wishing to prejudge or wish for failure in an 'I told you so' manner but he's 32 before we start next season and if the consensus is that he'll need most of it before we can judge him then that's not ideal.

I get the gamble with Burrell, his profile, background in RL and the need to increase the talent pool, but, the thing that I'm not convinced about is that we train this guy get him RL ready for the business end of next season (heading towards 33) and he's going to play where?

So far on here we've had winger, centre, second row, and prop when the club signed him you'd have thought they would have had a plan At this rate we've half a chance of knowing one way or the other Feb 21 what that was and whether it has paid off.

2018 and 2019 and likely for the foreseeable future(with the exception ofor Toronto)...is/were the easiest periods I've ever known for Wire to win a GF....probably why I've be most disappointed in these 2 years than ever.
We must make sure in 2020.
No excuses.

There hasn't been enough recruitment to balance what has gone from Wigan. Leeds will be around Wigan and Cas zone.
Wire and saints will once again tailblaze.

(Lee Briers prior to the semi final)

He will deserve it if he contributes to a winning performance.

Clearly he has never done this in the past and thus has never deserved to be in a final, i suspect that the same scenario will occur tomorrow.

What do you mean Wire will trailblaze, we finished 4th and you can hardly say we were finishing strong at the end of the season...
