I'm made up that we're now such a force that we can cherry pick the very best players from the likes of Wakey, Cas, and Huddersfield!

Eastmond and Westerman.

Both not the finished article, but why not build a team around two players that are likely to be two of the top English players over the next 6-8 years.

We should really employ a talent scout, y'know. Someone should write to the club.

I thought we did sign him earlier this season??

Agree, though it could be hard to prise Eastmond away from Saints.

IMO the 2 players we should be targetting are Westerman and Myler. Both play for smaller clubs, and are more likely to sign for us.

In a couple of years Ainscough and Tomkins could be worth a look, if we can beat Huddersfield to their signature.

We prised Briers away from Saints at a similar stage in his career.

What about Paul Sykes as a potential replacement for Gleeson in the centres, can also play fullback wing or even stand-off as he has done for London and Bradford in the past, and is a goal kicker.

No thanks, Sykes has been proved to be distinctly average at the Bulls.

Also me thinks Saints shipped Briers out early as they knew he may be more trouble than a bag of frogs.

Dont expect them to offload any current talent unless they are either no good or have problems.
