We need to send a positive message out to players, fans and the wider RL that this is a different Wakey. We don't need to beg over the hill players to come here.

Correct and it won't be easy and we'll all have to be patient but thats the only way forward.

Don't like him personally, however if he had a full medical and proved his fitness I would take a punt.

I don't understand why you would think like that, spend the money on Walshaw and keep hold of Murphy and George, or as you say take a punt on Senior.

Re: Keith Senior : Thu Jul 28, 2011 5:49 pm  

Murphy, George and Walshaw for me.

Re: Keith Senior : Thu Jul 28, 2011 5:58 pm  

No for me, wouldn't go anyway near him.

Not the kind of player i think we should be signing and he wasn't interested in us two weeks ago, we are in a position of strength now would tell him to whistle

Higgins does a decent job he signed for a struggling side to prove himself, the old Wakey if you like.

This has to be NEW WAKEY and we must look to improve not stagnate.

I totally agree.

I guarantee however that if Mr Kear remains in charge, this is exactly the type of signing we'll be making; he lives in the past and trades on past glories, hence the media stitch-up job that him and Senior are doing on us as we speak.

Well Glovers not onto a winner if thats the case.

We have a once in a lifetime (well mine anyway) chance to step up and we must take it, fresh start = bright future.

Position of strength?

Take a look at the League table sunshine. You're down there in the twilight zone propping up the rest of us. And as for not wanting to sign for you..... ..... nobody in their right mind was signing for you then, and the only players who would be looking for a deal now are the ex Celtic players who were dumped on from a great height on Tuesday. Even then, I suspect their agents will be phoning Widnes first!

I would hope that Keef doesn't sign for you. The guy is a SL legend and has been the best centre of the modern era by a country mile. Fair play to him for looking to extend his playing career, but I would have liked him to have got some sort of coaching/mentoring deal, and finished his illustrious career at Leeds.

Time and injury may have ruled him out of a top 8 club, but he's still several levels higher than whats currently on show in amongst the C grade cannon fodder!

Thanks for that, go back to your ivory tower!

In the era of salary cap I think it is hard to comment on siginings. Do we really know its a case of KS or the young outside back we have at the club? I don't. Do we know what proportion of the cap KS is being offered - I certainly dont. If he is being approached and offered a small proportion of the cap, or a pay as you play deal then I'd snap him up. If it is a case of KS or retaining the young up and coming outside back that we have then I would have to think a little harder.

Salary cap aside how does this proposed signing differ from that of Morrison a couple of seasons ago? Not too many disappointed with that signing. Kear has a good track record of signings, particularly if you cast this, extra ordinary, season apart.
