I'd assume that if Chase couldn't get a visa to sign for Hull last year he won't get one to sign for you.

Never assume anything.

The story has been touted by several sources. There's no smoke without fire. We'll see I suppose.

Ratchford at FB, Chase at 6, Dobson at 7, Halatua (sp) at 9. Thats a very good potential spine.

The rumour of Weller Hauraki linking up with Noble again won't go away either and seeing how he is Rangi cousin and they are close it could be another temptation.

Sorry but regardless of recruitment there has to be a steadying spot in the halves for Theo who is a real outstanding prospect.

David Hodgson, yes. But not Robinson. He crossed a fundamental line, remember? Posing in another club’s shirt before the end of the season. Hodgy didn’t.

We does they need to be a spot for theo there is too half backs better then him at the club now one playing full back and the other in the centres

Indeed that was the point I was making - Ratchford v Myler and Hodgson v Robinson - in each case one left with grace and good wishes, t'other didn't!

Joke aside why not think outside the box and have four halfbacks/Centres? Rotate the centre and half back roles regularly on the right and left to confuse the opposition and share the workload.

I think the height, build, speed, defensive qualities and kicking ability of a player stereotypically determines a players position. Why not strive to have four big, fast players with the versatility to organise, kick, defend, create and finish very well?

Lol u seem to be buying everyone at the mo,

My apologies.

Or,as a radical alternative,we could leave srategy to title winning coaches?

You are right how can I forget the ingenious 5 drives and a kick strategy of McRae? It revolutionised the sport.

I think this is more likely to confuse our own team than the opposition.

And which four players could fulfill all those roles?
