Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Wed Aug 03, 2011 5:22 pm  

Ideal world next year we would sign a top class centre, and a solid 7 with a decent kicking game and a prop. The last two could be easily solved if Coley and Deacon sign on for one more year.

1. Sam
2. Charnley
3. New centre
4. Carmont
5. Richards
6. Finch
7. Deacon/New7
8. Mossop
9. Leuluai
10. Lima
11. Hansen
12. Joel
13. O'Loughlin

14. McIlorum
15. Fielden
16. Prescott
17. Farrell

18. Tuson
19. Hock
20. New Prop/Coley
21. Marsh
22. Roberts??
23. Davies??
24. Goulding
25. Hughes
26. Crosby
27. Mellor
28. Logan
29. O'Carroll??

Edited.

Discussed this in work today, for me ideally, I'd look at bringing in Yeaman for centre and Chase in the halves. Whether they're available or not is something I haven't looked in to.

*If rumours are to be believed this is a done deal anyway.

I think all of them will leave.

Pryce is a definate 'ta-ra' for me.

Hope to god we haven't signed Luauki, I don't want people comparing him to Coley in regards to people moaning we have signed him, he is crapola!

Re: Rumours and signings v7 : Thu Aug 04, 2011 11:31 am  

Keep Tommy at 9, he's proving to excellent as a hooker. If we do bring in another 9 it has to be to replace McM, not Tommy, McM is the weaker of the two.

Dont need anymore backrowers. I have faith in Hock and Faz tocover for the departing Hoffman.

A centre, if the right man is available, however Joel's progressing well and Charnley does have a future as a centre IMO.

Is Deacon 100% retiring? I'd like to see him doojng another year sharing the role with Mellor allowing Mellor to ease his way into the first team.

He won a World Cup and a Four Nations at 9 and a Super League Grand Final at 7. Hmmm....

And as well as he played at OT - How many other times did he 'turn-up' and take control of a big game for us at 7?

Agree completely, if we move Tommy back to 7 we may as well release him. The problem I have with Tommy as first/second receiver is he doesn't have a long range kicking game so we struggle if our forwards are not dominating the game and we have no real 'Plan B' other than bringing Sam into the halves.

Keep Tommy as our 9, he has been outstanding there this season, and bring in a new 6, a centre and a prop. If Rangi Chase and Kirk Yeaman were available for the right price then they would be excellent acquisitions (as mentioned by 100% Warrior)
