Who do we sign?

Props wise, the likes of L. Burgess, N. Cayless and C. Webb are on our hit list, others that have been mentioned are simply paper talk, W. Mason and all them for examples.

6/7, out signings look like number one priority to us, would have be D. Lockyer, yes he’s a 6, the guy could play 6 or 7.
M. Orford comes in at a close 2nd, proven winner, great attitude to the sport, great kicking and passing game, proven the ability of playing under pressure. But I do feel he will stay in NRL. If not one of us (Wigan/Bradford will sign him)
B. Finch, he could bring alot to our squad, but I see him as a trouble making player, walking away from his old club, due to the drink restriction requirements, would he work with us, big risk.

What I'd love to see is

1 - Phelps
2 - Roberts
3 - Gleeson
4 - Carmont
5 - Richards
6 - Lockyer
7 - S. Tomkins
8 - New Prop (N.Cayless) Captain
9 - Riddell
10 - Fielden
11 - Hock
12 - O'Loughlin
13 - J. Tomkins

Bench
Impact Bench

14 - Feka
15 - Tommy
16 - New Prop (L. Burgess)
17 - Mossop

* Quota players

But what I think we'll see is

1 - Phelps
2 - Roberts
3 - Gleeson
4 - Carmont
5 - Richards
6 - S. Tomkins
7 - Tommy
8 - Fielden
9 - Riddell
10 - New Prop (C. Webb)
11 - Hock
12 - J. Tomkins
13 - O'Loughlin

Bench
14 - Feka
15 - Macca
16 - O'Carroll
17 - Hansen

Top team would be my choice, however one change I would make would be Roberts to FB and Ainscough on the wing.

I was going through that in my head, Phelps going would make us a spare quota spot, we'll have to see how Ainscough develops over the rest of the season.

Gleeson would be a superb support player to Ainscough, but we'd have to get the ball out to him first :lol:

Also the team list, I think we may have a new GB centre on the left next year, IF Carmont continues with the leg injuries IMO

Would agree with everything above, not really heard it mentioned on the forum but your right Carmont is certainly slowing down, whether that's down to age or injury I don't know, but a replacement for 2011 will be needed, Pryce perhaps.

Pryce...... Hmmmmmmmmm as the talent to still become a top quality SL player, but his he willing to put the effort in and really up his game and effort??

At the minute, he'd be lucky to get a new contract come the end of the year. I believe there is a very talented centre at Castleford we could have, if we twisted his nipples with the right amount of £££, I could honestly not name a left centre, who would not want to play at the side of a second rower like Hock! He'd make any left centre look outstanding!

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Do you have any sort of reason to believe we'd be in with a shout of signing LMS or Morley or are they just at the top of your personal wishlist?

I'd also love the pair of them but i reckon theres more chance of me winning the lottery then either of those 2 being here next year!


If LMS has any ambition to further his career and play for the biggest name in Rugby League he will sign for us. The pros and cons are massivly in our favour if he weighed them up and Landan isn't that far away if he wanted to nip home often.

Money would talk with Morley, it would be his last deal and if Wire were to free some space under the cap for Myler as suggested we could chance their arm.

Just those two signings would do us with Andrew Johns coming in mentoring Sam Tomkins and Tommy Leuluai.
Johns would come over if the money was right also.
