Riley Dean : Sat Mar 11, 2023 12:44 pm  

This is a little bit left field but I think most people’s concerns pre season was the Lino/Gaskell combination.

If we were going to struggle it was going to be in this area. It has proved to be so. Last season it didn’t work. This season it simply hasn’t. Is it Lino or Gaskell? Probably a bit of both.

Something simply needs to change.

Warrington have recalled Riley Dean from season loan.

He looks like a good young half with some ability.

I can’t see anyone available who is as good or better.

Might be worth picking the phone up because this is our area that must be addressed if we are to turn things around in our attack.

It may not be possible but I certainly believe it would be worth exploring and offering some SL rugby to him.

Nothing against the lad he’s probably a good player who has potential but I feel like he’s not what we need. We took the plunge with Morgan Smith who was a ‘promising’ half, I know he’s not had much game time so far and only played 40 mins in the halves but he doesn’t look all that good. With the position we are in I feel like we need an experienced, proven half who will guide us around the park. Just my opinion

They recalled him as he is ineligible to play in Fev’s challenge cup games and Wire had a couple of niggles within their squad. He’s going back to Fev next week i believe.

Can't we gazzump them as he ripped us to shreds when we played Fev and he is just what we need !!

Re: Riley Dean : Sat Mar 11, 2023 1:45 pm  

He is not what we need. No more championship players!

Who would you suggest? Can't see any other players available.

Re: Riley Dean : Sat Mar 11, 2023 2:50 pm  

Get Kyle Wood back on a 2 year deal. He can play 6,7 or 9 and knows the club well…

He is a Warrington player on loan at a Championship club and completely bossed the 40 minutes that he played against us, so who else would you suggest that is available and affordable ??
