| For me its Walmsley. Whilst the thought of watching Manu tear defence's apart is salivating to say the least, I'm most excited about how Walmsley steps up. He certainly has the potential to be a devastating impact prop at this level and I'm looking forward to that hopefully coming to fruition.

| Got to be Manu, if he can stay healthy he will bring offloads, do you remember what they look like????
Although we will need to make sure all the players are up to speed there was a couple of chances last year for an offload, but no one was making themselves available to the player. Roby will need to be on high alert for 2nd phase play.

| To be fair, all 3 could be equally exciting, although Walmsley and Manu are the big names for me. Turner could be but I think we have more unanswered questions over turner, were as Manu comes with a big rep and Walmsley has very little to loose.
He could be storming he could be so so.

Indeed that's the summary I would give all three too.
Manu - We know what he can do and just how good he can be.
Turner - Has shown flashes of brilliance but also has known frailties within his game, hes contribution will no doubt depend on NB's ability to bring the best out of him
Walmsley - Largely unknown but we do know how he plays and what he's capable of. The question over him is can he step up a la Chris Hill. If he does he could be a sensational signing on a very low chunk of the salary cap.

| Turner will cause us excitement. It may not be pleasurable excitement. Maybe that sort of excitement you got when someone ran at #JF22, or put a bomb up for him, or told him he had a hair out of place.

| Walmsley for me - he's a young English lad who seems to have bags of potential and really caused a stir at the level he played at last year - can he step up nobody knows but the prospect is exciting!

| Judging by his tweets we'll either have to find Walmsley a house in St Helens or another club. He's already moaning about the travelling and it's only his second week.

That's NOT good start!
Shouldn't he be excited about his chance at 'The Big Time' - I'm a little dissapointed!

| Willie Manu - I genuinely believe he's the best signing we've made in about 5 years.

He was hardly moaning, these are his tweets

That's just today. There have probably been two a day, I remember one about the minging traffic on the M62 and him being starving and another about the Stone Roses being the only thing keeping him sane on his 90 minute journeys.

Fair enough, I'm not particularly a twitter user so haven't seen those tweets.

| I'm most excited about Manu, I've been a fan of him from the first time I saw him when he was at cas.
I'm also interested to see Walmsley gets on, I like to see a guy from the lower league get a shot at super league. I don't think we sign enough or even ool for players from the lower leagues.
