Actually think Adrian Purtell made a good Captain - leading, encouraging and motivating.

Me to think he has done really well, nothing spectacular but consistant which is what we need, id have him as captain and maybe clough/sidlow as vice captains.

Need to move Lauaki on ans lose a couple of backs (we have to many who will just be taking up cap space, how we lose is another matter entirely).

Sowerd isnt wanted by the NRL any chance of a season long loan deal?, we are in desperate need of an organiser in the middle, Gaskell is more off the cuff and Seijka dosent know his booty from his elbow sometimes.

Id take experience over anything atm, to steady us and allow us to imporve.

Yes Bb87 I would rely on experience, our recent experience shows that we will get three impact props that combined play 10 minutes in total (no not per game, in total), with all the impact of a gnats fart at 200 paces.

Given we have Gaskell for the off-the-cuff star quality play, I'd be happy with an old stager at 7 who's lost his pace but proven organisational abilities. Obviously I'm thinking mainly of myself, but given I have work commitments there must be someone else in their mid 30s that fits the bill in a "get us in SL or bust" sort of a way.

Wonder if Paul Deacon has sold his boots yet

Think he gave then to Harry Georgeson before he departed, not to be heard from again. Harry, that is not Deacs!

I have it on good authority that the Georgesons are recuperating chez tigertot in his manor in Ilkley.

Liam Finn isn't a bad shout if he's available, he isn't spectacular but he does seem a very consistent performer with a good kicking game. And we could certainly do with a kicking game!

Signed for Wakefield today apparently

Well, with such mansion as that, who knows who is sleeping in one of the spare bedrooms in the west wing.....Tigs had best check the butler still has his spare key!

Very frustrating to see both (potential) middle 8 rivals Salford and Wakefield sign Gaz O' Brien and Liam Finn respectively, after several people had highlighted them as being exactly what we needed.

Such is the lure (or lack of) of championship rugby I am afraid. I guess the only option is to grow your own......and we just sold ours to Keighley. D'oh!
