His skills are mostly there but you see when he gets tired it's not instinctive to him. Seconded for loose forward as I think he'd offer an alternative threat from there.

Don't know where you got your stats from but it was 10- 3 against Sheffield and 27 - 7 against Salford.

If you're looking at the stats on the Superleague website I think you have misread them. Danny made 27 tackles, 7 of which were marker tackles (MT) and 2 missed tackles (MI).

I will ask these questions.
If we were to go up and Wakey came down should we go for Tim Smith?
If we could lose 4-5 players and be able to tempt an experienced SH from OZ should we go for him?
If your answer is yes to either then Addey isn't good enough to ignore other people.

The interesting thing with this topic is they probably had this conversation over at Leeds about a young Sinfield who I believe started as a promising LF but converted to a HB.
Losing weight should be the easy part to a young athlete but does he have the skills for the job. I am not sure about that as I remember watching people like Reg Bowden, Edwards and Gregory who were all elusive and I am not sure Addey can be described as a speedy and elusive attacking HB. But with Mullaney and Gaskell we may not need a speedster as was said earlier. A young Jonny Woolford (for the older ones) would do us nicely.
Trouble is, is Addey he big enough for LF?
I suspect we will try and sign another SH as we have clearly stumbled through the season without a regular pairing but I also think Seika will stay for his last year just to see if he can do it. Who else would take him right now anyway?

I wasn't but they have probably come from them.

Not sure who would be available from the NRL in September/October. There's the marquee rule if we go up, but I imagine that a lot of players will have already got contracts sorted out by then. If we signed an NRL half-back, then it'd have to be someone who isn't first choice I reckon, or pay a fee.

I'd be happy to see Addy move back to loose forward only if we found a better scrum half and I can't see many around. There is a real shortage of quality scrum halves about. Even the top SL teams are struggling to find them. Warrington were so desperate that they went all out to sign Sandown who I don't believe is the answer to their problems. I can't see them releasing GOB now Myler is moving on as they'll need cover.

I say again, who is available to a championship club that is better than Addy?

Surely Mullaney? He took the ball at 1st receiever as often as Addy, including for his second try. Look at his pass for Ferguson's try. OK, it's one game but Clare played well at full back and looks a real physical presence with pace. We haven't had a scrum half all year and now we've found one we want to sign another?

Addy has done well for us in the absence of a recognised scrum half but he is not a scrum half. He is too slow around the ruck and tends to send out lobbed passes which gives the opposition time to move up. Remember Brett Iti? he passed the ball from the scrum (there more scrums then) like a bullet so much so that the pass nearly knocked Roger Simpson (the stand off) over. Perhaps now that Warrington have a plethora of half backs we may sign Gareth O'Brien next season? Addy would slot in a loose forward but I think he needs to work on his defence.

What about the Tyrone Roberts rumour?? Could that be dependant on if we get into SL??

Signed for Gold Coast.

Ohhh okay missed that! Cheers

They don't have a plethora of half backs. Myler's signed for Catalan and Chris Bridge (occasional stand-off) has signed for Widnes.

Do you really want to build next years team around a bloke who will probably end up playing about 10 games?
