If he feels Cunny isn't ready yet then i'm afraid the writing is on the wall for the kid.

Yeh forgot about Addy, could be either him or Donaldson then.

One of the hookers we're looking at is Paul McShane by the way (hot of the press). I'd be quite happy with him, great distribution from DH and has a much better instinct than Houghton at seeing opportunities infront of him.

Cant say I've ever been impressed with McShane tbh apart from the odd good game here and there. If he was that good he would still be at Leeds, but they cast him off and signed Aiton, who, despite being a very capable hooker, isn't a world beater himself.

We are never going to catch Leeds and Wigan if we keep signing their cast offs.

Bazinga.

Him being cast off by Leeds had more to do with his relationship with Brian Mac and the way he wanted him to play rather than his qualities as a player. At Widnes last year and Wakefield this year he's flourished. Sometimes players just don't get a chance.

Like I said, he ticks the boxes against qualities that most of his give Danny houghton stick over.

Some of Wigan & Leeds' 'cast-offs' in the past have proved to be pretty useful players for us.

There is many good players not won much, but we are after yet another hooker when we have let one of the best in SL go.
