How the mighty bulls have fallen when a player of this calibre manages to generate 4 pages of posts.

I reckon we would have to offer Brambani a whole heap more than Chisholm to make him go full time

I agree, the main reason he left Sheffield was because they were going full-time wasn't it?

I think I am missing something with Chisholm, in 40 years of watching RL I can tell you straight away that there is not a chance in hell that he would make it in SL, Im not even sure he is a top end championship player. A couple of good performances against teams when it really does not matter are not going to fool anyone(well it has but hey ho).

I think I agree with that

He's certainly not Harry Sijeka and we need players big time, there's always a chance Lilley could be gone from one week to the next..

On Brambani, Dom has his own business so there would be no chance we could sign him unless the money was ridiculous.
This is our main problem we are full time and want good full time players, however we aren't offering good full time money.
We are caught between a rock and a hard place as far as that goes..

Chissy showed what he could do last season, imo and he's a cut above what he have now. With Lilley on loan and therefore always ready to go back to Leeds and Leon's gammy knees, we're always at risk of having no experienced halves again. With Chisholm as a signed player and a couple of strong forwards we'll have a much better chance of avoiding the chop. It does seem as if it will come down to cash though and that's something we have no control over.

Let's hope Uncle Marwan has a few tips on the Gee-Gees for his mates cha-low



Beggars can't be choosers and with Leon looking more and more like a walking sick note and Lilley on loan we look like we could be exposed. Thomas and Keyes wouldn't necessarily be a bad pairing but I wouldn't like to gamble my house on them.

If we had a real stonking pack, which was rolling back the opposition every week I'd definitely agree Keyes and Thomas would likely go OK, even if they are bit light on experience. Given that isn't the case, we really need someone who can still create things, even, difficult as it is, without having a lot of time or space to do it. This shortage of players up front is killing us right now.

Players don't have to be SL standard (or even top of Ch level) they just need to be better than you already have.

Or just of similar standard if you're looking at squad building as we are.

My point was regarding the type of half back we should be looking out for. We don't need another flashy pants half back who gives 1 good performance in every 6, we need someone who is going to release the back line we already have. The likes of Oakes, Ryan, Thomas, Caro (minus the cakes) can find their way to the line. They just need quality ball from a traditional half back, controlling the game.
