Well they're not coming whoever they are. If i had to choose a quality experienced player to come in now it would be a half back like Soward.

Re: New Signings : Sat Feb 01, 2014 1:44 pm  

Ye can have great half-backs but if our forwards can't set the platform theres nothing for them to work with, we DO need an experienced half-back BUT I think two more big old ugly props are needed more urgently, without them I doubt it'll matter how good a SO/SH we get.

Well im sure Leary will be packed ready to fly when the visa comes but even when Nick Slyney gets here he wont play for quite a few weeks. When he does play he wil be a bit wary of using his shoulder you'd think.

@regwottlay just awaiting my visa mate within a couple of weeks should be there

Re: New Signings : Sun Feb 02, 2014 12:47 pm  

Hope he's in full on training with his former club. If we have to get him fit as well it will take more intensity training

Blimey, that would have been quality if we got him! Spose he is biding his time, in case Sam Tomkins gets injured for the Warriors. At least we were thinking big.

Agree great player but not convinced full back is a position we need a star player in just now.

Re: New Signings : Sun Feb 02, 2014 1:42 pm  

If the club is preparing for winding up as many on here would have us believe why are we trying to sign star players? Agree full back is not 1st priority though. Half back and forwrds are are the big need
