Add to that list the ability of Ainscough or short sighted nature of signing Roberts on a 4 year deal! I think he will come good, but you have to be a pretty special player to justify a 4 year deal and he does not fall into that category.

Bang on.

Terry Newton - tough call. Say if this was 2seasons ago, then Yes I would definately have him back.

Now - lets face facts, he's injury prone, shoulders are dodgy, knee's are going. But he is still a fantastic player - when he's on his game.

If he became available for cheap, I would be happy to sign him as a player - otherwise stay well clear.

Isn't that the same thing.

Sorry mate, but whether there is anything good on the telly or not, I suggest you go and stand behind it.

You are not the weakest link, you are the missing one.

Because teams win trophys, not single players! Newton played well in an underperforming Wigan side, therefore he didn't win many trophys. If Celtic signed Jonathon Thurston next season do you think they'd win the super league?

Having said that I wouldn't sign him, because we already have too many hookers, if anything we should try and swap Riddell for a half back to replace Smith if he goes or a prop to replace Fielden, who went missing after 2006.

Trying to justify a players abilities by the amount of trophies he has won is just ludicrous.

Ade Gardner has probably lost count of the number of medals he has won. Do you have him in your list of GB's greatest ever wingers?

Your argument is stupid, in fact, it may be the weakest link.

See ex-Liverpool full back Phil Neal.

He often went missing at Leeds

They had 2 players that carried their whole team at one point and they were Ellis and Peacock.........they now have just the one in Peacock and he doesn't look quite the force of a year or 2 ago.

No trophies for Leeds this year methinks.

The truth is somewhere in between yours and BBB's ideas but Ellis & Peacock certainly didn't "carry the pack" and Ellis seems to be doing fine in the NRL.
