Would it fit on the shirt? Aspinwalls name is a bit curved, so i can imagine that going in a full circle around the number.

Last i heard about him was millward wanted him for saints next season and now he wants him to come to wigan, but the story's on galuavo and Palea'aesina seem to have dried up. We're always linked with players and then end up with totally different players who we've never been linked with and sometimes never heard of. I think we need a half back and prop for next season and then we'll be about sorted.

Not sure whether a half back should be a priority. May give Orr/Moran more of a chance under Millward. We've always got Brown/Coyle to step in.

With Fletcher and Richards in. I reckon Galuvao and Palea'aesina would be great buys.

If there was to be a fifth signing I reckon a centre should be priority - unless thats where Richards is going to be played, with Colbon on the wing.

But not many centres available. Who do you reckon? Gleeson? (Too expensive)

But as MrsLam pointed out, we have a distinct lack of scrum half cover should moran get injured. Coyle is his only replacement. Godwin could play there, but its not his natural position.

We really need Vaealikis girl right now. Where is she? We want info on this Richards guy and the other two mentioned in this thread and I would love to know how you pronounce Palea'aesina. Hope his first names Bob

Yeah good point. We'll just have to wait and see what happens. Any decent halfbacks around or that we would want?

I reckon our current halfbacks would benefit from a strong pack of Seu Seu, Newton, Palea'aesina, Fletcher, Galuvao, O'Loughlin - With Tickle and Hock interchanging. Apparently they are trying to get Hock upto 17 stones for next season!!!

I am still undecided on Sculthorpe (I reckon he has a lot to prove to Millward).

Obviously we should also be looking to offload some players too: Wild, Aspinwall, Sculthorpe??

I wouldn't be surprised to see Tickle propping sooner or later - he's 16St 4lbs now. Not bad for a 22yr old.

there was a rumour think it was last season he was being bulked up to be a prop and in the off season he seems to have bulked up and has played a couple of games in the front row for us this season already.
