Has Anthony Watmough been re-signed at Manly? Last I heard he might be a free agent, or maybe Manly would release him early and he would make a good quality replacement for Sam. Given the Manly connection we'd surely be in with a shout? And what about Matt Orford, isn't he off contract too?

Watmough said he would leave Manly now for the right contract, he knows his next contract will be his biggest, and he wants to set up his family for the future. We should offer him £1m over 3 years, the same as we were offering Craig Wing. At the moment Watmough is the best forward in the world. He also came to watch one of our games whilst over for the WCC with Hall and L'Estrange.

Not sure he's the best forward in the world, or even in the top five, but I'm not sure wee Robbie Burrow would like to be facing him again
Sure he'd be a welcome addition though. |

| Signing Watmough would imo be one of only very few signings that could actually make me forget about us losing Burgess. He is an awesome player that would walk straight into any SL side.
Never going to happen though, obviously  |

problem is you can have the strongest pack in the world and not get anywhere if the backs are weak. We need to sort backs out before thinking about spending big money on a forward imo. |

Watmough is without doubt the best forward in rugby league at the minute.

Next seasons foprwards need fixing up far more than the backs.
Our first choice pack as it stands is nowhere near good enough. It wasn't last year, and the loss of Newton, Burgess and Morrison will further compound that.

It depends what you expect to our club to achieve. If you're just hoping to get into the playoffs, then I would say our pack is certainly adequate enough.
The main thing holding our team back is the half backs.
Getting a new 6 or 7 in HAS to be the main priority for SM otherwise we'll just see a repeat of this season just gone. |

I'm wanting achieve getting into the playoffs. This season's pack wasn't good enough, and I can't see how a ffar weaker pack next season will be good enough either. |

| Yeah but it wasn't our pack that stopped us getting there. It was our halves |
