Personally would like to see the following out:

Bailey
Coley
Smith
Phelps

Hansen Like mark 1987 says part of an exchange deal if possible.

And personally would like to bring in:

Nathan Cayless
Richie Myler

And use some of the young kids, perhaps in rotation so we don't overwhelm them.
It's been to easy to get a spot in the team and although more players will leave the club than come in this will reduce the turn over off the squad as home grown talent can take there places. And I would hope that if Lenegan gets the slightest sniff that perhaps Riddel, Roberts or anybody else are feeling home sick than he gets them on the first flight home.

then some well scouted but average Aussies, tagged with a huge risk of not performing, least signing the GB players that play SL every week, have proven they can play this type of game. Where as the Aussies, it's a huge gamble as too whether they will take to this style of game.

why dont get the whole team to adapt to an aussie style of play

We already play boring, unimaginative uni-dimensional rugby.

so in most respects we're the polar opposites of the aussies!

Nobody still talking about brough to wigan btw? Seeing as a lot of people seem against Orford, bringing in Brough whos non-quota, creative KICKING scrum half to play alongside sam could work quite well i think.

Just got reminded before when watchin the sl show, one of the commentators mentioned that its still not decided what he's doing next year.

The only Brough rumours I've heard are ones linking him with Saints.

but i personally can't see saints signing a scrum half this year, Eastmond seems to be getting a lot more playing time no he's over his injury, surely bringing in someone else would hinder his development.

The main culprits i think will be us and wire, take your pick out of myler, brough and orford, even though i have a sneaky suspicion myler will stay at salford for another year and orford may resign.

Brough will go to Saints

Orford will stay at Manly

Myler will go to Warrington with Monaghan going to Canberra and Briers having one last season before going into coaching the 18s.

We will sign Robbie Paul and Joel Clinton get to the challenge cup final against Saints get beat 25 - 14 finish 7th and get to semis getting beat off saints and it will be Saints Hull KR grand final and Noble will have another year here. In the meantime we will carry on backwards with crap players.

Smith - Parramatta
Coley - Salford
Bailey - Salford
Phelps, Pryce and Carmont all sign for one year.

I dont want this to happen but I could really see it happening.

Can see Myler staying at Salford for another year until his contract is up. Then, if he carries on playing like he is, he'll be able to take his pick of offers from most of the SL clubs and probably union.
Of those three I think Orford is the most likely to be seen in a Wigan shirt sometime soon.
