I agree.

It seems a very Lenagan style signing in that it's a gamble but it'll be cheap so it doesn't overly matter if it's a success.

We're really going to struggle to progress whilst we keep going for bargain bin signings.

As Long has now gone to Hull [urlhttp://www.hullfc.com/hullfc/contents/?p=3524[/url

Does that leave Wigan in the frame for Matt Orford.

That's what I've just put in the Shaun Long thread.

If Hull and Wigan were the 2 sides in for Orford and Hull have now signed Long you can only presume we're in pole position but there will be other clubs in the hunt i'd imagine.

I can't see Warrington being a million miles off.

Orford to wigan

Myler to warrington

Orford will be staying at Manly.

Lets go for Myler.

Thats my gut feeling at the minute but it will probably turn out-

Myler to Wire

Orford to Wire

Some cheap deadleg Australian to Wigan

Thats the wory. Its time for IL to either sign quality as he has done in Gleeson and not in quality of average players who do not make us a better side.

Riddell will take time to settle and he might become a good player for us. But Mcilorum is a better player at this present time. We need a quality prop and a quality No.7 or we can really kiss next season goodbye whoever is in charge.

True.

By why get a 31/32 yrar old Orford when in 2 years time we'll need a new halfback?

We need a long term partnership at Wigan.

No offence, but you weren't saying this when arguing the case for us to sign 31-year-old Sean Long on the other thread.

Orford will stay at Manly, I'm led to believe his financial demands exceed what any English club is prepared to pay.

I dont understand this

We would be in the same position if we signed Long. so whys your opinion different towards Orford
