Didn't one caller on Radio Manc say that it was rumoured we are after Richard Villasanti?
That sounded odd as he retired from Quins following a knee injury.
No one would know more about that than IL.

If we went for Villasanti any credibility IL has would be lost after the way he went on at Quins.

About as reliable as another "credible source" stating that SBW was coming to SL

Worth the entertainment value alone - dream on guys. Was a bit different when we signed him and on here was "what a waste of money for a hasbeen", "too old" blah blah etc etc..

Thought we clutched at straws on signings but you lot are in a league of your own. best one Ive heard all year and Ive heard some crackers. I take it his recent resign means nothing then?

It's just a rumour that's been heard, stop crying.

Even if Coley resigns we need another Prop.

Well consisting most top teams only have 4 good props, and we currently have 5 good props, ok one is injured, why do we want another? Were does that put the likes of O'Carroll and Prescott in the future. Coley should get another deal, he's providing far more to the pack then any other at the minute.

Are you including Fielden in those 'good' props?

We do not have 5 good Props.

We have an impact Prop that needs more of a platform, we have Coley who of late has been our best prop but has been average generally, we have Fielden who is solid in defence but not the best in making the yards and Prescott and O'Carroll both young and have yet to prove themself able to take a full season in SL let alone prove they are up to the standard of a full year.

Feka needs more support, he needs more go forward as does the team, Props win pots and there is a reason we have struggled this year, namely the Props have not stood up to the challenge of putting us in game winning positions.

You tell me why you think he should stay at the club.
I don't think he justifies the massive wage he's on.

He played for them once. Back in 2004 when Penrith were actually good.

As I said, good player. Not anywhere near the 'great' category though.
