The hunt for Sargents replacement : Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:03 am  

is on. http://www.pontefractandcastlefordexpre ... 6445929.jp I don't know why we don't just go for Coley if Wigan are letting him go. List of possible available props: add any you can think of.... start off with 2 1. Feka 2. Coley

Feka was rumoured but it now seems he's Bradford bound (thankfully IMO).

Others:

Fielden OOC at the end of the year. Seen rumours linking him to Hull. He'd have to be looking for a substantial drop in wage to come here though.
Scott Wheeldon as well but seen him linked to Quins & Salford.
Craig Kopczak at the Bulls.

Someone on here started a rumour about Elima. Not sure if he's out of contract or whether we'd need to work out his release but he'd be a good signing IMO.

scott wheeldon looks all but signed for wakefield wildcats

Feak as above

and fielden is linked with huddersfield, bradford, hull fc & also staying wigan on lower wage.

Missed Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook who would be a wonderful signing but is joining Saints.

If the rumours about Luke O'Donnell being on £250k pa at the Giants AND them being in the market for Willie Mason are correct then there'll be some departures from the Galpharm. That said, as Crabtree wouldn't be one of them there'd be no props worth taking.

As an aside, they've already confirmed Martin Aspinwall as leaving who I'd have at The Jungle (though not as a prop obviously!)

Kear has apparently stated that Wakey have not signed Wheeldon.

From down under, Ben Cross (Knights), Luke Bailey (Titans), Carl Webb (Cowboys) & Ben Ross (Rabbitohs). All with Origin experience and 29/30 years of age. Jason Ryles of the Roosters as well but given he failed to settle on Perpignan I can't see him heading over here soon. http://dazrl.awardspace.info/2011_mov.htm

I would personally like to see Carl Webb coming and also Darrell Griffin (i think hes off contract) in Tigers colours next year.

With a half back/centre coming in aswel

Re: The hunt for Sargents replacement : Fri Jul 30, 2010 11:09 am  

Carl Webb would be an excellant signing, I think we need a realy agressive front rower, one who is noted for strong carries and big hits, we already have workman like, and more of the same would be a step backwards I think.

I would go for Korkidas, strong running prop, excellent ball handler, bit of biff [/Mr Brown]
