Thats my point when I started this thread I would like to know "realistically" who we could sign AND who we could lose in order to improve next year.

Escare and alot from aus we hve no hope in hell of getring anywhere near but I beliege there are some decent players out there who will come in and do a good job for us, would like to hear everyone's thoughts on who we could sign that would inprove our team and also add depth to our squad.

Spot on Bullseye. We aren't going to be signing any superstars like Escare. In fact i was shocked we managed to land a player like Carvell. Dale Fergusons are the types of players we will be signing. Honest hard grafters who will improve the team.

For me Ainscough is a no brainer. We desperately need some speed. Not just attacking wise, but so we also have someone other than Kear to chase down the opposition when they make a break. Think Cummins made an error letting him go. His enthusiasm his infectious.

Cummins didn't let Ainscough go, he rejected the contract offer.

Practically let him go with the offer he gave Ainscough. And tbf we have paid for not having pace out wide. Only Kear who's fast.

Hasn't there been a change in Ainey's circumstances or so I read somewhere? Course, it might be Bullsheet of the lowest order and I won't pretend to know what FC would think about it anyway, but to me, if he is now able to come for the original offer, or somewhere near, his enthusiasm alone is worth a fair bit.

I'd take him back if we could afford him, but FC knows a fair bit about wing play so I'd go with his judgement.

Aincough is not good enough. Platt & Kear & Forster are all better. We have enough wingers.

If Platt was good enough FC would have offered him a deal to stay.

Yes he has pace and shows his heart. But he isnt good enough. Fact. NL1 player at best.

We have enough wingers with Foster and Kear?

Surely we need back up?

We have Platt & Wood who can play on the wing & Centre.

We do need another Centre though.

I presume you meant to say Ainscough and not Platt???

With Lulia going our current options for threequarters are:

Kearney
Naughton
Foster
Kear
Wood
Purtell
Platt

We're going to need to add a few to that - two have never even played a SL game.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Purtell hang up his boots at the end of the season. Mind you if we put one K. Dixon in there then that's half the problems solved

I agree, Purtell looks quite jaded.

Keiron Dixon would be an exciting addition but we'd seriously need two centres that know how to defend as without Purtell, Lulia or Blythe our centres are the worst in SL.

Keeping Blythe has to be a major priority.
