what we need is another george carmont esq centre.

An overseas player that will be committed and provide great value for money within our wage structure.

Never quite got the fuss with Asotasi whilst on top form tbh. I saw him play a few times for the kiwis and he seemed pretty easy to handle really and I always thought he must be doing things in the NRL I just don't get to see. As it is I here he's lost form swell so I'd leave well alone and try to get Coley to stay on another year.

Depends on the managements vision for the team. If they intend to keep Tomkins at centre then we need either a prop or SR. I'd rather have a prop and keep Hock or Mossop at SR for the time being.

Good point really regarding the 2nd row. If JT stays at centre we only have Hansen, Farrell and Tuson as SRs next year. Would be fantastic if we could persuade The Hoff to stay on for one more year. If not I would seriously consider trying to lure Tony Puletua from Saints.

Well have Hock back aswell and Mossop can also push into the backrow if needs be aswell as JT when were short(that's if he stays at centre).

We need to keep the squad changes to a minimum for next season and keep a settled squad were possible. A centre and a halfback/hooker are all we'll hopefully need.

Not true. TP will either be at saints or playing in the NRL.

Hope so. Hate to see overseas players moving clubs over here just to chase the cash. The reason it annoys me more so then when English players do it is that somebody like Puletua will be on a good wage at Saints anyway and I think they should show a little respect to a side that went to the trouble of bringing him here in the first place and have no doubt looked after him like royalty.

He seems a decent sort anyway and I would be surprised to see him at Wire.

Matt King has said he's very likely to be going home at the end of this year so Wire will have plenty cash to spend yet, of course, stay under the salary crap!

Without knowing the details, could it not be a simple case of Warrington offering a two year deal, over one from Saints?
