A quality six to partner Danny Jones and some big forwards I think you guys might need. Really looking forward to seeing how Jones does next season, didn't quite make it with us (very nearly did) and I am sure he'll be a match winner for you in 2010!

we've got a pretty good 6 in Presley mate.

That's right we have a good stand-off in Presley BUT, I wish that he had a little more confidence in himself and didn't offload when he has the chance of scoring himself.

me too! Let's hope it can be coached into him, having said that , 25 tries and player of the year isn't a disaster is it.!

I can't agree with all of you enough.

Jon Presley is the best stand off we've had since Darryl Powell, and we paid 100 grand for him.

He has the potential to make Super League, if not become world class.

He's scored 2 tries, one against Dewsbury at home and York in playoffs that even Darren Lockyer would have been proud of.

However, he's too much of a genuine nice guy. He lacks that arrogance and self-belief to do it consistantly at the moment.

If Presley tried to do it too often he would get beaten to a pulp, a little more maybe but only enough to keep the element of surprise. He does however need tackling practice (go low like Burrows, because he is never going to stop anyone trying to hang on to their shirts) otherwise he is going to be playing catch up on the number of tries he is partially responsible of conceding to those he is scoring. As regards an offloading prop - just rewind to Shickell grand final game breaker.
