Good question, short term Ben Black would be a good option, but doubt Halifax wouldnt let him go.

Long term, with the money we are alleged to be paying Sherwin we could get sombody younger and with rep honours,
if he is from Australia.Or....

Brierley will have bulked up and is ready

You don't understand? If we got rid of Sherwin from his contract now, we'd still have to pay him for the season then there's no way we'd have the money to pay someone "good" to play. RB in my opinion isn't ready yet for SL. Only possible option is to get someone on loan who aint cutting it in a starting SL side, who? I have no idea.

We know we will have to pay for him, but while he doesnt play, we are paying anyway, who we got for next season ? who can we attract if we keep playing without a good fit 7 ?

It p!sses me off that we are reliant on a has been, he was good in his day, but his day is as far away as my 18th, (dont go there)

S4AM i apologise unreservedly, you were right all along

Re: Sherwin rest? : Sun Feb 21, 2010 2:26 pm  

We are stuck with Shifty we all know,regardless if he is fit or not.Trying to think beyond this season.

But this year with not much money it can only be a national league player,or an N.R.L reserve grader with a european passport with a point to prove.

No super league club will loan us their half-backs given the competition in the league now, (we got lucky with Danny Brough
in 06 as Hull were flying in the league that year).

Black imo would be a good choice from the national league, even Thorman and Rooney would be good back ups compaired
to the one halfback at Bradford

Out of 60 potential starts, he's made 42.

My point is that we're much better off paying someone and have them available some of the time when they can make a difference rather than paying someone to not be available and not have the resources to replace them with anyone who is able to win games singlehandedly.

Add to that, I'd also prefer an injured Sherwin to be there at training for Brierley and other youngsters at Cas to pick his brains. rather than him lounging on a beach in Oz with severance pay.

Rooney wouldn't touch Cas with a barge pole! Cas wouldn't be able to afford his salary and any transfer fee that you would have to pay.

And to be fair things are really bad atm but that said were not really that desperate and TM although as mental as a box of frogs in his team selection isnt quite one flew over the cuckoo nest mad to even think of having Rooney too old, slow, poor defence, goes missing when the going gets tough

Is that why he went to Barrow because you were struggling to pay his salary?
