Imgine if our signings for next year were Long and Luiaki.

No chance we'll go for Long and even though it seems to have some legs I'm hoping Luiaki won't be signing either.

This has to be a wind up surely?
Wigan wouldn't go near him, he's awful!

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Mon Jul 25, 2011 9:47 am  

Long and Lauaki?
Where's all this coming from, it isn't the silly season!

Given that its pretty well rumoured that sculthorpe will be our assistant to shaun wane next year, would anyone consider shaun long on a 12 month contract as cover for deacon and finch.

What are your thoughts, dont rule it out as 1 or 2 may be dissappointed

Pryce would be a better option, Leon that is.

We are the current Super League Champions, Top of the League, Into the Semis of the cup, have an abundance of second rowers, have a great youth policy and a high standard of overseas policy.... and we are being linked with Epalahame Lauaki. WHYYYYYYY?

Front row? Maybe the club know more about the future of some individuals? That can be the only reason i can see.

Plus it takes up a quota spot. We have other areas such as centre, possibly halfback, possibly hooker that all require more attention.We produce an abundance of back row forwards - we struggle for centres.

The whole 'he's a risk that could pay off' is crap too. We're the Super League champions. We're top of the league and in the semi-final of the Challenge Cup. As it stands we're the best team in Europe. We don't need to take a risk on a player and shouldn't.

Insane signing should it come off - absolutely insane.

Bloody hell Lauaki!

Or a flag.

FWIW I think Cooper at Wire has improved this season. In Saturdays game he was looking for work, made the line with every carry and was good in the collision. Not sure if he's what we're looking at for next season but worth keeping tabs on.

Centre would be my major concern because JT isnt going to be the long term solution. In terms of 2nd rows playing centre, I'd say Gary Ablett is better at the moment.

The right side could be very different if Amos came back.
He could play at right wing, Charnley right centre with Joel going back to his usual position of right sided 2nd row.
Josh would be helped by having two experienced men either side of him.
Also that right side would have blistering pace!
