I'd Pick Stevo over Walters, unless the task called for falling over the line and landing on the ball, in a [sizebig[/size game

Im not so sure, if we are being linked with the likes of Myler then we would not be replacing Mags with an improvement, the coaches need make a judgement call on Lilly, if they think he could handle a year of SL then I say we try it next year, if not then we may need to stick with Mags till we can get something better.

Agree JJB and Burrow should stay on, as long as they are willing to be phased out, I would like to see Jack Walker get to play a few games in the 14 role next year for us

Myler might not be an improvement, but he's a halfback, unlike Moon, and with some track record, unlike Lilley. Would you feel confident going with Lilley/Moon as our starting halfbacks?

...how about Aston/Moon or Lilley/Aston?

What does Myler do better than Moon?

I dont watch enough of Lilley or Aston to make a judgement tbh, but we may as well try one of them at 7 (preferably Lilley) if the best we can buy is Myler

I am happy to go into next year with either Moon or Sutcliffe at 6, though I dont think they could play next to each other

People seem to have written off Lilley and Sutcliffe as halves because of last year, but I think a lot of their problems came from not having a recognised hooker, if we hold onto Parcell for the next few years I think they could do a decent job

Myler announced next week im told

The future is pretty easy to predict.

Jordan Lilley released to join Wakefield when not deemed good enough.

Jordan Lilley stays at Wakefield for one season before being transferred to Cas as a replacement for the outgoing Luke Gayle.

Jordan Lilley bosses proceedings everytime he plays against his former club.

Sound familiar???

Is that to coincide with an announcement about Magsy retiring or is the plan to have both Myler & Magsy for 2018 or is it going to be a HB partnership of Myler and Moon

If gale ended up at Leeds I would take that.
Lilley may need to follow gales lead and get game time in super league elsewhere.

i have heard that gales contract at cas is well above what we would be willing to pay him,so no chance of us signing him imo

Told you weeks ago. Good signing for Leeds.

That's one. Just need another now.

I understand the reservations about Myler, but I think its as much about signalling that the time has come for a change in direction as signing him as a player.

We don't have halfbacks of the required quality for next year, but can we afford to wait for one or more of our untried players to make the grade? If they were given a go and didn't make the grade, that would be a third year in a row of 'transition' and a lot of us would be up in arms about why changes hadn't been made. At least signing Myler suggests GH has a sense of urgency about the need to shake things up.

Whilst the Sinfield era was marked by a huge amount of stability across the squad, it was also marked by several major signings along the way. In recent years the stability has remained but we've stopped signing anyone of note. IMO if we didn't start to look externally to fill key positions now, we may end up having to replace large numbers of players en masse, which historically has generally been a disaster.

Correct, however, it remains to be seen if we can buck the recent trend of signing expensive gash from Aus.

Surely we must have a decent scouting network in the UK to spot some of the rough diamonds that have appeared in SL (Walmsley, McMeeken, Hill) or is it that we just wont shell out the £££?

What's happened to your under 21's you are classed as having one of the best in SL. Nobody coming threw?
