What funny ?

Who on that list is he better than ?

That's half our problem alot of our squad aren't the best in their position in the league

Even Clifford I wouldn't say he's better than likes of Dodd, Williams or croft as good as he is

Certainly better than Powell, check the stats and that's playing I acsuprior side, ask the Wigan fans what they think of him.

Better than Mcshane this season and better than O Birien and Micky Mac.

You don't half talk some tubbish amd just repeat the same thing over and over again, can see you going the same way as Keith soon, probably the best thing I've done in a while.

Maybe give Cliiford a chance, only played 10 or so games, been excellent in an underperforming side, imagine him in Saints or Warringtons side.

I'd guess they'll try and get rid of Atoni or Proctor first

Probably but they would have to pay them off, Whitebread or Tanginoa they could get another club to take them off their wage bill.

Can Wakey afford to pay a player off and the pay Fifitas wage.

I'd take Fifita until the end of the season if he has kept himself fit.

Your problem is that you don’t have any players that are the best in their position in the league. You have very few players that would even get into the match day squad of 9 of the SL clubs.

Your problem is that you spend far too much time on here and it's becoming an unhealthy obsession.

Get out in the sunshine Keith. Do some gardening and take your mind of things. It'll do you good.

Wonder if we are in for Liam Knight from Souths?

He would be a risky signing due to his injury history and personal issues which he has been really open about but his quality on the pitch can’t be questioned.

Real lack of British players, this is why we can't replace as many as people wanted and the likes of Taylor, Griffin and maybe Houghton could get new deals (All playing well too), so we have to take some risks with Uk based players, if

Tindall is replacing Wynne then I'm ok with that

Ashworth for Evans I'd be happy with too, probably a better, younger player, who will be cheaper and gives us a quota spot.

Looks like he had a fall out with an ex and was stupid, a few years ago, hopefully learnt from that one off incident.

Key is signing 3 overseas players who improve our 17, this season we had 2 overseas players who couldn't get into our 17, this shouldn't happen.

Think we need 3 more forwards on top of Ashworth (prop, backrow and hooker), hopefully we can get an English hooker and use an overseas slot on a winger or another forward.

Not knocking it but you have changed your opinion on using an overseas quota on a Winger.
You have said many times on here to use a quota place on a wing would be a waste.
Whats changed your opinion?

A lack of UK trained options? Unless we can get someone whos willing leave a contract for first team rugby, replacingSwift will be a struggle.

Be interesting to see how Catalans squad selection plays out. Yaha is back for them, 3 doesn't go into 2.

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Thu May 25, 2023 3:44 pm  

Knight is another one who we could probably bring in this season. Doesn’t seem highly thought of at south’s and has hardly played this season. 3 games and about 80 minutes first grade.

I feel more and more like we’ll have someone in this season. Dominos starting to fall. Wakey need a quota player gone, hudds with biggest squad in world and it’s about now NRL clubs tell their deadwood that they’re not needed.

For wing spot, i Think we should be looking pushing hard for Tom Davies. 3 class wingers don’t fit into 2.

Wow, beat me by a second there. If I’m correct, I think I read the most successful teams in SL use their quota spots on backs. That would be a luxury, but we can’t seem to build a domestic pack
