hmmmm could be the future england pairing if they continue to improve, Myler and Sam would be great for the future but not really what we need now. Shame really

True its not what we need now but I definitely wouldn't mind waiting and watching them develop for a couple of years and reaping the rewards later down the line

Surely that would be worth waiting for?

Who is Tomkins half back partner in the reserves?, trather than blast a shitload on another Aussie why not bring them both through for 2010, at least they will already be used to each others style of play also would not cost the earth so could blast a huge chunk on 2 naughty person props and a decent centre

Would be worth it but would half of the fans be willing to watch for the first couple of seasons if it doesnt seem to work ? Above that if it was a failure would the team trust two inexperienced halfbacks leading them around the park

they are following 2 experienced half backs at the moment without any success so why not

Those in the know believe Tomkins to be being tapped up by Rugby Union; personally I'm surprised he's not featured already this season but to lose him to the other code cos we've not got the lad playing at the level he deserves is ridiculous.

We could use the cap money we were going to spend on a stand off to buy an experienced player or 2 to help that

Maybe fans would get impatient but if they could see the bigger picture they wouldn't mind plus the fact there's no relegation to worry about

Didn't Mcguire and Burrow start in the halves for Leeds at a pretty young age
and they would have the potential to turn out just as good as if not better than them. Maybe even Edwards and Gregory esque

I dont see the forwards following them in the matches so far as we have no moves, but i understand what you mean i just think that if we would be better with them following 2 experienced halfbacks instead of 2 in experienced ones

tomkins should be playing now like all the promising youngsters

hmmmm i believe that would be sufficient and could work if we had 1 or 2 other experienced players with the 2 young guns at half back with tommy and riddell at 9 but what about Mcillorum

Loan?

If we could buy an experienced Prop then we should have the necessary experience in the likes of Roberts, Carmont, Richards, Fielden, Piggy, Tommy, Lockers and hopefully another signing.

Also with the likes of Hock, Tomkins, Hansen, Goulding being that year or 2 older we should be fine really
