Possibly but that leaves us with McGuire/Burrow as starting halves which I do not think is something i want to look forward to.
I know I keep saying it but I still would not be shocked to see Moon play at SO next year.
Once the shirt numbers are given out next week I might be able to get off my soap box!!

McGuire and Burrow have held shirt numbers 6 and 7 since early 2000's regardless so that won't change.

Everyone moaned when we missed out on Alex Walmlsey - so what makes you thing people will bitch about ----- oh hang on.

Good point.
Soap box it is until Feb then.

I`m sure there`s a message in there somewhere but you have lost me on that one.

its been duly noted, and if it happens, i will be the first to acknowledge your fine prediction

I think it's potentially a good signing. The halfback problem will be solved by getting a decent english player in there, not by signing a second rater from the NRL. So many come over and are meh, yet quite a few sl teams have had success from picking up english halves and developing them, Look at matty smith, mark sneyd, luke gayle etc. You aren't going to sign the finished product, you need to sign someone with potential and develop them in the mould of your team. If he has pace he could make a good partner for Lilley in the future.

Only real question is if Hardaker does stay, does he keep the number 1 shirt or do we demote him and give it to Sutcliffe.

Segeyaro will take the number 9 shirt.
Ferres will take 19 (or 14 if Sutcliffe moves to 1)
Which would leave 19 free for somebody

Well that depends whether we keep Hardaker or not

It is to be hoped this latest signing can keep up with Leeds exciting version of Wally Lewis.

Personally I think we should. Basically swap Sutcliffe and Hardakers numbers

Not sure what you mean by this one, please troll more specifically.

I was referring to Jordan Lilley who has been compared to Wally Lewis on this forum.

You mean that highly regarded Prop who had 5 or 6 SL Clubs chasing him?
Well lets put it this way Ormamroyd isn't even the best Forward at Fev let alone best in that League ala Walmsley.
Wrt Aston he is basically a "project/gamble" when we clearly need quality 1st team ready to come in it may work it may not but i'm pretty certain he's the cheap option.

I don't think anyone has legitimately compared Lilley to lewis on this forum. Pure fantasy that, possibly even paranoid delusions.

Sometimes people make comments and they are taken totally out of context.

e.g Person A - I don't think lilley has enough X to make it
Person b - Wally lewis didn't have a huge amount of X and he was pretty good.

Those type of exchanges happen all the time and often get extrapolated as ''Look! Look! OMG! he's saying Lilley will definitely be as good as wally lewis. I'm going to troll about it for the next decade now''.
