Tyrone Roberts going to Wire.

Who isn't these days?!

Some clubs certainly don't seem too hamstrung by the SC.

I'd vastly rather have a young half like Roberts than the likes of Hodkinson, but it's a pipe-dream anyway...

Can't say I've seen too much of Roberts, what's your opinion of him/what type of half is he?

I'd be over the moon with Hodkinson though, was playing origin only 2 years ago. Excellent kicking game and organisational skills and with his goal kicking our points difference will shoot up.

I read an article on Hodgkinson last season and it basically said he was shot,handed over kicking duties to a rookie for a late game winning kick and has seemingly lost his confidence,has been dropped on occasions too.
Maybe coming over here will do him good and playing against lesser opponents will help him get his mojo back but I wouldn't just presume that because he's recently played origin that he will be a success over here.

Roberts: good player in my book: quick, good all round game including kicking, can play full-back too. Don't imagine he'd come to SL. though.

I feel Roberts may be using Wire to get more cash off the Titans. Will be a great signing for Wire if they pull it off though.

Aye I read about him handing the kicking tee over, the article I read said he didn't fancy it because of the distance and he's got biscuit legs.

I agree that it shouldn't be taken for granted him being a success just because he's played origin, but we all know the standard is lower over here so I think a player of his class would run riot. Don't think he'll come though tbh.

Was told by a business associate I caught up with today (ex-director at Leigh) that he was reliably informed by those still at the club we have made contact regards Ben Reynolds...

He's certainly worth a shot.

I've been wondering if we're genuinely linked with anybody? So far, this thread is a long wish list rather than proper rumours of potential signings. I hate the time of the year!!
