Neither Yeaman or Shenton are worth recruiting IMO. At least Hardaker has youth and inexperience as an excuse for not passing to his winger.

TBF the first third of last season was a disaster for most of the team not just Robbie.

And only improved when McGuire was back, and Burrow was moved to impact sub off the bench.

We would have to get Lunt permanently first, i don't think its the done deal some would make it out to be.

We are in a gradual transition,2 years wouldhave been a year too long for Webb.The warm weather will suit him and he will add a few more strings to his bow regarding his gourmet skills.The old guard are gradually leaving bit by bit,lets hope its a successful transition

McGuire at fullback! FFS has Nantwich cloned himself?

I still remember Danny's superb interpretation of a seal at feeding time, when Tomkins Senior left him flapping on the ground at Wembley the other year.

A full back, he is not.

THe drawback being that neither Yeaman or Shenton are actually all that good. They're both OK, but if rumoursa are to be believed, Shenton is surplus to requirements at Saints. Yeaman has a knack for getting over the tryline, but always seems , when I watch, to have a related but less useful knack of letting opposition players over the tryline. I'd rather give Ablett the 4 shirt than sign either to be honest (which is not saying that's what I hope to see happen - I would like Ablett to remain in the pack where he is at his best IMO).

Unfair ! I have never suggested McGuire to FB for the reasons you state (people think Webb's one on one tackling is bad ).....Smith to SO yes I confess, but McGuire to FB: Never !

The guy we want to be going after, if we're trying to sign anyone, is Ryan Atkins. Top Left Centre in the country, he and his family are Rhinos fans, and I think we can beat Wire again this year-his desire for trophies will be beter satiated here than elswhere. Would also sort our backline for a long time with Hardaker (20), Jones-Bishop (23), Watkins (20), Atkins (26) and Hall (25)

I dont see why people want to 6/7 positions around

He would be the best (British) centre option out there, but it's not just as simple as 'going after him'. Is he even out of contract at the end of the year? and if he ain't, no way are Warrington gonna let him go!

If the only options out there are the likes of Yeaman, Shenton and Atkins I would rather stick with what we have got.
The likes of Watkins who outplayed Atkins last time they met. Hardaker, Smith, Ablett and Kleinhorst are better options.
I personally think we will try BJB or Smith at FB and we will buy maybe the Wolfman.
Having said that I would sooner we try Chisholm on the wing.
What about Briscoe to the FB position?

Briscoe is a stand off.

Any one know when the squad is announced for Monday? Or have I just missed it?

On what basis are Smith, Ablett and the completley untested Keinhorst better options than Atkins, I dont think im the only one who thinks he is the best LC in the league.

Hardaker BJB Watkins Atkins Hall would be an awesome back 5. I agree chisholm should be tried but I would rather sign Atkins if he was available.
