Re: George Burgess

And obviously a player that won't go shooting off back to the NRL after, say, the first year of a new contract. That should give us some much needed consistency in a vital position we've struggled in recent times. Just one cautionary note, he does have some discipline issues and is currently suspen...

Re: Bevan French

I don't know why anyone bothers attempting to bring any semblance of common sense to this potential signing DaveO When you have posters making such ridiculous statements as He (French) can play all across the threequarters and halves...... Jesus H he is a centre or scrum half now. No idea how or wh...

Re: Bevan French

If we need a stand off then bloody sign one. Don't buy a winger and then claim it is going to be a masterstroke playing him where he has no experience [/quote] This is all well and good but we turned Andy Platt from a good second row to a brilliant prop. We turned Ellery Hanley from a cracking cent...

Re: Bevan French

Some good and valid points DaveO but when he came in, the first thing he said was he won’t spend or do anything drastic until he got to grips with the salary cap and the obvious issues that came with our breaches (due largely to the signing of Fielden). He did that and then brought Maguire in when h...

Re: Bevan French

The team cries out for a quality "spine" and some handy forwards and everyone's wetting themselves because we appear to be signing another winger. I would love to know how exactly this bloke is supposed to finish any chances off with this side????? I think most of us who are ‘wetting them...

Re: Bevan French

Chris Green, why are we signing a 30 year old from Hull who has never even had a look in for England Knights, nevermind the England first team. Chris Green is a very good prop at a club that is blessed with good, big props. He’d be a definite upgrade on Navarette and is capable of longer minutes th...

Re: 19-man squad vs St Helens

The player we should have let go is Burgess. The money spent on him would be much better spent on a big forward. If either of Davies or Dom recovers we won’t need him. We are after all only his NRL safety mat. Don’t think an NRL team would touch him at the moment. Yes he can score but his defence a...
