McLinden, Hill, and Hoppo/or tall centre who left to go to Penrith

What would Peter Gill do for us?! We don't need yet another back row player. Tell me more about Mark Riley.

Gill pisses all over the back rowers in the current squad. Even when he was unable to train or barely walk during the week he was still a massive driving force in the team and pushed everyone else to perform above their natural levels.

I've edited my three to incude Sam Stewart instead of Mark Riley. But Riley was a dynamic little scrum half who caused problems for every defence. Didn't get on with Gary Greinke though, who was a ****, so was released by the club. May or may not have been able to play in the top flight if given a chance but he was dynamite and my favourite player, sot that's why I originally included him.

But Gill, Edwards and Stewart would have this squad of players whipped into line no messing.

Your foul language doesn't impress me. Peter Gill doesn't address any of our current issues. Our back row is fine.

Thanks for the info on Riley, he sounds decent. Who is Sam Stewart?

Good thread and damn hard.

First 3 for me would be Dymock, McLinden and Roskell, but Edwards, Moran [and when playing to potential] Barnet would have to be there or threabouts, Steele gets a place anyway

I wasn't trying to impress you, you're really not that important. I was simply expressing an opinion. And the current back row is anything but fine.

Sam Stewart was a Kiwi international, captain of Newcastle Knights, and then followed Tank Gordon over here when he became coach. Captained London Crusaders to Old Trafford and was a monster on the field, who led the team by the scruff of the neck.

That's what this team needs, it's too nice, but Gill, Edwards and Stewart wouldn't stand for it.

Did Edwards really fit in whilst in London-Im not sure he was the player he was at Wigan.

I reckon he fitted just fine - unlike during his brief spell at Bradford.

Edwards would definitely be in my 3, along with Marty McLinden. Ordinarily, Steele would be my 3rd choice (although Sam Stewart would run him close) but if we're looking at someone who could help to address the obvious deficiencies in the the current squad then an outside back would be a priority. Regrettably, there isn't exactly anyone who leaps out, perhaps Nigel Roy or Tozza Martin. Alternatively, from the Fulham days, maybe Hussein M'Barki or Mal Aspey.
