We don't just want someone who can organise though. We need someone with a kicking game as that is yet another area we are absolutely woeful in. Also we need a halfback who can take the line on not just receive the ball and pass it on.

Bosc be a brilliant signing IMO. Probably not an out an out organiser but he would be better than Addy and a natural HB.

Would love to know whether we knocked Sammut back as we weren't interested? With no HB'S available i still feel he would have been a good option

I agree... Certainly an extra threat in attack that we are so desperately missing!

With respect to all concerned, our needs are not the same as Saints and, let's be honest, any player on Saints radar is unlikely to sign for us, so for Ferres to pretend we're in the same market and compare our situation with them is a little bit disingenuous, imo. There must he halves who are not good enough for Saint Helens who would nevertheless do a great job for us. It may be true that they are also not available of course...

Looking like Purtell will be in halves. Think it be Thomas at 1,Clare and Welham in centres with Caro and Campbell on wing.

He's not a half but he has good hands and made a reasonable [as in, he's not a half] fist of it last time he was put in there.

There's little to say about fullback, apart from someone's got to play there..Clare and Welham are fine when we've got the ball but I hope Caro and Welham aren't defending the same side.

Maybe it's to get some leadership in the middle as well and get someone talking.

Badly missing Sidlow in that department.

Saints have been finding it hard to find players who would qualify for a work permit. This makes our job even harder because any players we try to sign will be even less likely to meet the criteria the UK border agency are enforcing even more this year.

Purtell best option for 7 defo.

Can't they just apply for asylum?

Great cut out ball from Rhys Jacks today, taking 3 of our defenders out from the winger to score in corner. Don't think I've seen us do a cut out ball all season.

So doesn't into touch, or into the hands of an opponent, count?

Was a great pass. If only we would've had a chance to sign a half back this season!!

I don't know if he is pushing it too much during the game, but (apart from the sublime try he scored) he doesn't seem to add much at the moment. And screaming and shouting at younger more inexperienced squad members for errors can't do much for team morale either.
