i think he would have cost considerably more. with hindsight (given piggy's p**s poor form, we should have kept mickey

Pity Wigan didn't recognise the potential of Tommy as a 9 and McC coming through. I think they can both be better than Piggy and Micky given a good run both at 9 on the interchange.

i would.

tommy at 9, macca on the bench, smith at 7, and sam t at 6.
sam t could fill in at 9 if need be.

we have pryce as back up for 6, sam can go 7.

IF piggy goes i would spend the money on a decent prop.

Smith looks like he's leaving, I dont think Pryce is anywere near good enough now to play 6, we still need a 6, ( IMO Sam looks like a good 7 ) and, in my opinion 2 new props !!

If I lived in a a dream world probably Petro and Bailey!

Because you've justified in your head Newton being rubbish by the amount of trophies he's won?

By your calculation Ricky Biby should be one of Englands greatest ever props as he’s got a cabinet full of medals???

Iestyn Harris has won far more than Barrett ever did but I know which one is the better player.

Long has won more lance todd trophies than Gregory and Edwards but I know who out of the three is the worst SH.

James Roby man of steel or Cunningham hasn’t won one? Who is the better player?

Get a grip

you are the weakest link, bye bye

Or in other words you've realised that you've made yourself look like a right tool and don't have a comeback.

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

The history of the game is littered with great players who won very few trophies, and crap players who won loads.

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?

Conversely, great players such as Garry Schofield played for years, and didn't win too many trophies.

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

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.

YOU ARE WRONG!

where did i state that he was crap due to the amount of trophys he has won?

i said if he is that good how come he has only won one trophy.

the fact is, the goombah's on this site rattle on about Terry coming back an d steering us to glory, if this is true, how come he has only won one trophy
