If we can't get a stand off (or manage to find an English one) but can still offload Hohaia, use the quota spot on Kafuso (Kafusi?) from London. What a pack we'd have then!

If Salford get Chase (and/or Tim Smith), palm Hohaia off on them and bring Sneyd here.
Walsh plays 7 with Sneyd partnering him, backed up by Wilkin, Charnock and Wheeler.

Very Good Shout.

Kafusi or Amor at Prop would be great.

Syned as a 6. After recently signing a contract at Salford ,rumours of him being palmed off on Cas
for a year as part of the chase deal. He would be ideal for Saints. Really rate him.

Palm off bionic Wheeler to CAS in lieu of Syned for a year would solve another problem.

Perhaps, if Wheeler is fit at the beginning of next year, we should send him far away on-loan to a club with a no-nonsense coach. Out of his comfort zone, away from his friends, family and any old habits. That way he's got nothing but Rugby to distract him and 12 months to save his career (whether it be for us or anyone else).

You can big him up all you like Beaumont was poor again yesterday and gets in the team because of injuries we lost Scott Taylor last season and the fans were gutted were losing Beaumont this year and the fans aren't bothered says it all really

No I don't

If you think Beaumont went o.k yesterday then fair enough. The only time I really noticed him was that poor tackle attempt that cost a try or do you not think anyone should comment if they see something that no one else wants to see?

You need to watch the incident again.

Re: Richard Beaumont : Mon Aug 12, 2013 7:50 pm  

Beaumont was completely anonymous against Hull.

First time I have seen him and he looks too lightweight to be a prop.

looks like Jo Greenwood build wise, difference being that Greenwood is a kid and Beaumont is 25

His stats against Hull are just awful

7 carries for 43 metres, and this is for a player coming off the bench.

For me he looks like nothing more than a filler prop for a couple of years to let the kids come through

Re: Richard Beaumont : Tue Aug 13, 2013 9:47 pm  

I hope he is a lot better than he looks at the moment otherwise its a pointless and baffling signing.

Re: Richard Beaumont : Tue Aug 13, 2013 11:26 pm  

Lets face it, there has been no scouting on this one. He's a Super League player that is available in a position we're weak in, so they've signed him.

He looks tragic to be honest, no improvement on Perry at all.

Re: Richard Beaumont : Wed Aug 14, 2013 12:13 am  

Seems to me as though people are judging him on the Hull game alone. From what I have seen of Beaumont he is a decent player who plays in a position, and does a job that we have been lacking in this season. Seems to play decent minutes and he complements Masoe well. You can't have enough props and it will be interesting to see how he goes. Add in the younger forwards on top of that and we have the basis of a decent front row next season. Just wish people would reserve critism until he pulls on a shirt.

Have to say though, I'm exited about next season. The club are in the market for new Stand-Off to partner Walsh, and we have an exciting, pacy 3/4 line full of talented footballer's. With the likes of Sia, Manu and Wilkin in the Back-Row along with those I mentioned earlier and we've got quality players competing for places. Just hope we don't have another injury crisis.

Did you watch the Wigan v Hull KR game?

No, did he play well in that?
