Joking and childish games aside

It would be a fantastic signing for Wigan if he did come over. He would add experience and is a very creative centre and could add an extra dimension to our attack. Plus he can also cover at stand off pretty handy as well.

I hope the four year contract that has been thrown about is rubbish though. We could land another Fielden if we run that risk. A two year contract with an option for another year.

Agree 100% there mate

Quality centre who would bring the best out of Roberts IMO
Big, strong, creative centre who isn't the slowest either is exactly what we need, the fact he's english is even better

2 year contract with an option for a 3rd would be the perfect deal IMO

Our backline would be pretty intimidating for next season:

Pat Richards
Amos Roberts
Martin Gleeson
George Carmont
Sean Ainscough

With Karl Pryce coming off the bench for impact.

If we could get that all important prop forward and maybe a scrum half and allow Tommy to move to nine and McIlorum to go out on loan, I might be doing a Wire and say 2010 the year of the Warrior!

I think Pryce could do with a few months loan to a NL1 club to get some decent game time at a tougher level

I think we will definitely get a prop forward for next season, eventhough we need 2 IMO. Luke Bailey or Petero Civonaceva are the 2 that stand out to me.

Doubt we will get a SH for next season

Richards
Roberts
Gleeson
Carmont
Ainscough
Sam
Tommy
Prescott
Riddell
Bailey
Hansen
Lockers
Tomkins

Feka
Hock
Fielden
McIlorum

Mossop, Pryce/Goulding, Farrell, Eamon, Davies as back up

Brian Smith as coach

That would make me

I'm not so sure Pryce needs to go out on loan after seeing him in the reserves. He looked very sharp and looked like scoring every time he got the ball. He got a hat trick and could have had four but was unselfish and set Josh Vievers up instead. Also created a try for Ian Thornley IIRC.

His critics have been of his defence but I can only find faults in his defence from when he has played on the wing and the defensive errors are characteristics of a winger. Like being out jumped for the ball or out paced from a kick. Nothing that would be required of him if he was played in his preferred position at centre. Considering the lad has been out of the game for 2 years I am suprised how impatient fans are with him. He will be a great signing for Wigan sooner rather than later.

Back on the subject though at prop forward I would like to see us go for Andy Lynch. I think he is the most realistic signing TBH. Although I am not sure that he would leave Yorkshire. Rumours have it that he wants to go back to Castleford. Should he decide to do this I would for for Luke Bailey. Either way a rough, tough prop forward is a must.

A scrum half doesn't seem likely I agree. Michael Dobson is a name mentioned (scored a hat trick today) but he is contracted till 2010. Matt Orford and Darren Lockyer have been mentioned. Both would bring experience to the side and would compliment Sam well but wouldn't be here (you would think) for more than a couple of seasons which would mean a change in halfbacks again which the side doesn't need.

Does anyone know the situation with Richie Myler? When does his contract run out?

Is Civoaceva off contract?

If Pryce doesn't go on loan he will have to stay in the reserves for a few more games till he looks truly up to it because he didn't against Salford IMO

Andy Lynch hasn't got the leadership qualities that we are so badly lacking so I would go for Luke Bailey too, he is a fantastic player, great leader and near enough the definition of a sh1thouse prop

Dobson maybe for 2011? I would love that
Myler's contract runs out at the same time as Dobson's I think

Another part of the rumour on the other forum from the same guy is that Richie Mathers is defo going to Warrington either this season or next.

It all seems waaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy too good to be true.

I agree he didn't look up to it at Salford. But we will see an improvement from him no doubt. We just need patience and to give him time. The Barrow game we should be looking to play him at centre for 80 minutes.

Andy Lynch has all the qualities we are missing in terms of go forward but it depends what you mean by leadership. If you mean lead our go forward then he would certainly be able to do that. If you mean take some of the leadership responsabilities away from Lockers then I would agree.

I think your right.
