I hope he stays but cant see it, but will he become the next Will Sharp, Omari Caro, etc.

He's 10x the player of either of those two, whatever he decides to do if he stays free of injury he will have an excellent top level career.

Oh dear god no

Caro is a player who is going to struggle for regular SL games but is better than most at Championship level... so on a 1 yr deal perfect for what we want.

Keep saying it, we aren't going to attract top quality English players, so SL rejects and our academy is our best bet. We're surely near/at our limit for Aussies now (bar some gems we uncover with some form of link to not count against any quota that may be in place). Grima has some players signed that haven't been announced yet, so lets see what happens.

On Caro though, perfectly capable of helping us finish in the top 4 of the Championship - which is all you need to get into these play-off qualifiers.

I disagree, I don't think he's even a top half Championship player. RL is a brutally honest sport, even at the level below SL. I don't think he has it and would rather he wasn't in our squad next year.

Would definitely take Caro for next season, and as for Dixon I presume he'll leave but just thinking to myself who would want him.

Who needs a winger?

Re: Dixon : Thu Jul 24, 2014 9:48 pm  

Omari needs to find some consistency, he's got all the tools to be a SL standard winger but his performances can be erratic from one week to the next

Re: Dixon : Fri Jul 25, 2014 9:03 am  

halfdan, think you have got it right with Dixon, the injury obviously was a bad one, when he comes back it is going to take a fair while to get back to where he was, if he ever does!!!
As for Omari, I would have no problems with him coming back and putting a London shirt on.

Being fast is not all the tools you need to be a SL winger. Will Sharp wasn't as quick, but he looked for work non-stop for 80 minutes and made few errors. If you could put Will Sharp's heart into Omari Caro's body we'd have a player.

True.

Whilst I'd have Caro back, he hasn't developed as I thought he might. I still maintain you can become more aggressive and involved as player - even if it's not in your off-field nature - but I fear Caro will always be lacking in those departments.

I agree, I can't think of many players that have developed that aggression when lacking. Karl Pryce could never do it that's for sure.

the problem with caro one week he scores a hat trick against saints and then has a nightmare against Salford it seems once he makes a mistake he doesn't recover and gets worse as the game goes on and he has been dropped this week so wont be playing against you
