These moves would, of course, require us to bring in a couple of big old props - which we've all been crying out for - and re-organise our forwards a little

Sadly that has been obvious since day 1, and i cannot see any evidence that they are going to materialise?

Hooray I've found someone who is even more of a nitpicker than I am.

Nice to see that Gus didn't managed to drive the Grammar Police Away.

There are many wingers playing in the Championship who are better than O'C - for instance Will Sharp, Kevin Penny, Rob Worrincy (although currently banned) and Tom Armstrong. That is why he was in league two.

I don't understand why we haven't signed Alex Brown from Leigh Centurions. He scored 9 tries in 16 games in Super League last season, can defend, is built like a brick outhouse and clearly good enough. He's just been loaned out too, so surely is available.

Yes but would he move south?

I've thought for a while that the club should have been mining the Championship for talent these past few years. Established SL players arent interested in coming down, but part timers who want to make the step up might well be tempted to give it a whirl. There is talent in that division. Ah well, we'll be in it (hopefully) next year anyway!

Wasn't he the guy who scored two tries or was it a hat trick against in a TV game last season, ( I think that was down J,O'C wing). If was him then what do we have to lose and make a punt for him. He cant be any worse then what we already have on that wing. I mean Duckworth seems to be spending life on the sick bed so far, and I don't know of any from U21's. what happened to Burnett (I think that was his name), who was in the squad at the beginning of the season.

Only other thing I can think of is we the club not looking, so that when fit it's going to be Nesi on J,O'C wing with Solomona on the other and then push Farrar into FB. Or would it be better to have Farrar in the centres (which I think has been said was where he was playing all last season) and have Solomona or Macani at FB.

If that is the case I really hope they looking around for props...

No I'm not forgetting Dixon or Duckworth but as don't know when they be back, I just went with what I know is available. I know Nesi is injured at the moment, but he claims on twitter that he should be back for the Wigan game
