100k for Briscoe? Massively overrated for me.

Looking at some of the performances this season Ratchford is the player I'd open the cheque book for.

I'm a big Briscoe fan. But before I get all excited about the fact that he may or may not be available to the highest bidder. I severely doubt Hull FC would be prepared to let him go. No matter how much cash is offered.

I'm with you on that one Priestman.

Not just this season either - he's been doing it for 18 months now.

From reading that link, it also seems the rumours of cooper cronk coming to saints ain't true.

Re: Slater not coming : Sun Apr 10, 2011 9:46 pm  

like we ever had a chance of Billy Slater coming to Wigan, and Cooper Cronk to Saints? Get real

Quality player! We currently have 5 people who can confortably play in the halves. It wouldn't be a wise signing.

We need a centre!

Excellant news for Melbourne in securing that triangle of players.

Slater has that rare ability to create something from nothing and is genuinley one of the most exciting players i have ever seen play the game.

I don't think a move to Superleague was ever realistically on the cards, maybe when he's 33 and can't walk.

As with all attacking players though, he's much more effective behind a dominant pack of forwards and it will be interesting to see if he gets that platform throughout 2011.
