Would you have him in your strongest 17?
He's way down the pecking order imo.

He was one of our most 'exciting' signings for me, but as you say, he's been disappointing and must be way down Jimmy's pecking order. If he'd played like the Philippe-Baile of old I'd have be asking the same question, but sadly, he hasn't.

If it looks like we have under estimated any team in any of these seven games then the coach needs sacking on the spot when the final hooter goes.
I am expecting to see seven cup final type performances - nothing less will do.
Nielsen arrives on Sunday so may not even see the game.
It would be nice if he is there so they can give him is jersey on the field at half time.

Nielsen landed a few minutes ago and will be at game tomorrow.

Always seemed unlikely he'd come to lower SL / championship team. Hope we have other options lined up.

Shame. He'd have been good at SL level I think, and way too good for the Championship.

Have we completely ruled out turning Addey into a full time scrum half. I think he would need to lose a stone but is it a possibility like Sinfield did - well, I am sure he started as a LF.
If Wire go for Eastmond as is rumoured, would we go back for G.OB? Smith clearly is not sure about him and the lad must now be feeling a little uneasy about whether he is really wanted by the club.
Even if we do bring in another SH I would still keep Siejka as I have a feeling he could do a steady job for us when fully fit and confident. He has a year left so I would let him complete that year.

The statement last week that from now on they will only sign players who are better than the current starting 13 is a good thing to hear. No more squad fillers please as we have enough of them to Choose which ones to keep. Hope they stick to this plan.

Personally I think it's a pretty dumb statement, if the players take it at face value then each future signing is therefore a statement that "this guy is better than you lot". "Only if they improve the squad" would be a more politic turn of phrase.

Any future half back additions we have to make sure the pryce is right.

How many half-backs do Warrington actually have for the 2016 season? Sandow, Gidley, O'Brien, Patton, Ratchford can play there too. It wouldn't surprise me if O'Brien moved on and I think he'd be a good addition. Obviously, the Bulls thought so too, which is why we signed him in the first place

Please, lets not start calling for Leon. I think he is well past his best. He has been a lazy bu**er for years and only plays when he wants to. If we lost Gaskell and got Leon I would be absolutely gutted. Keep Gaskell and sign a good young SH would be better. We did that with Deacs and Robbie and we built a team around them for a decade.
