Our back line lacks experience. We need a solid Carmont/Gidley or even a Domic type of player in the three quarters. We've tonnes of young prospects and don't need any more IMO - we need someone with solid SL experience.

calderwood and yeaman have plenty.

Shentons a international and would be a very good signing.

Much as I like him, I think Calderwood's chances of a new deal might be diminishing with the number of injuries he is unfortunately picking up, which would still leave us short of experience in the backs. Shenton's supposedly in talks with Wigan.

I agree about calderwood, if shentons talking to other clubs we should enter discussions.

I think we do need wingers rather than centres. Yeaman has done nothing wrong, Briscoe is definately going to be a centre for us. Why not look at the NL for wingers. From what ive seen on sky there are some wingers with a bit of pace. Might be a cheaper option.

He's older than God's dad. We won't exactly be able to build a team around him.

In a word... NO.

We need solid experience, but under 30.

Would briscoe need to catch a bomb at centre?

1. Tansey
2. Owen
3. Briscoe
4. Shenton
5. Murphy
6. Horne
7. Long

backed up by
1. Briscoe
2. Lyne
3. Turner
4. Hall
5. Tuffour
6. Nicklas
7. Williams

other players ooc are Colburn, Welham and er?

If we couldn't get owen I'd keep calderwood, Shenton I'd keep Yeaman.

Looking at our halfs I'm wondering if we'll see them on the pitch together so I'd be very tempted to let fitzgibbon go and make a big offer for ben barba.

That's not a bad line up , My only concern would be Long and how much juice would he have left for next season.
