Better tell Chris Chester not to bother going around to his house then anymore. He's a good mate of a friend of mines son. He's not happy with what Hull have offered him and his agent thinks he's worth more.

Who is his agent ?

He has scored tries and has some speed but how many has he scored that Lineham and Talanoa wouldn't have ? I'm more concerned about the Ben Crooks rumours, he can score tries out of nothing and no way should we be letting him go.

Its ace, all these people know to the nearest penny how much each club has offered and to who.

Maybe you all got the job that was advertised in the League Express

If he wants £50k+ send him packing. Apart from raw speed he hasn't shown anything to suggest he's some kind of wonder kid.
If somebody wants to pay him that ridiculous sum then fine, but I can only see one chairman willing to do what it takes so he can play the 'brought one of our own back from the dark side' card.

Agreed.

Yes he is quick and yes he can finish but his defence is 'all over the place'.

Certainly not worth £50k yet and has a lot of improving to do to prove it.

How many wingers do the Dobbins want anyway? What has happened to the fastest player in SL?

Has a wingers instinct in finishing IMO (and bravery) - I agree though with the £50k sentiment

Now I am a fan of Crooks, but is there any wonder some young players end up with inflated ego's when comments like this get bounded about.

Most of Crooks tries have been scored via his ability to run fast and provide support to a ball carrier

There are very few tries which spring to mind which he has created from nothing.

Oh, he needs to learn how to defend to become the player he appears to think he is!

Looks like Taylor will be staying at wigan for another season, then move to Hull on a free (a bit of a risky strategy, but one I can understand).

Not too bad for props as it stands with Watts, Feka and Paea, the first three and one of Green and Bowden for the 4th.

Taylor to replace Feka or Paea in 2016.

I don't like this attitude at the club when there seems to be a contract dispute you are left out in the cold.
McDonnell,Lancaster,Ben Crooks and possibly Miller to come.
We all know Crooks is not the best defender in SL but to play Whiting at centre in front of him is a joke.
Shenton just ran round Whiting 2 or 3 times with his pace yet the coach doesn't see this as a defensive weakness.

You could argue about Crooks, but not about the others.

Not sure McDonnell, Miller or Lancaster have been dropped because of their contract situation.

Just better players in the positions.

Shaul
Talanoa and Lineham
Abdul, Horne and Rankin.

I know it's been mentioned on here previous and that some have said it's a no go due to his demands , but according to my mate at work who's brother plays for the under 19 Pritchard was at the Cas game 2 weeks ago . I'm unsure if to believe it myself as no one else as mentioned it but can't see him lying about it . Miller was sat behind my mate and brother and was with him and introduced them to him .
