Is he a member in here as he seems to be mirroring what we say!!

If you are then can you move heaven and earth and get Dixon signed up ASAP as when he regains fitness he has the pace that we desperately need.

We need to work heavily on our try scoring as well, then.



I hope you're proven right, but my first thought is that you need to stop sniffing markers.

I'm not convinced that the main attribute we should be looking for in a player right now is pace. Surely someone who can tackle would be a better addition, regardless of whether they're Speedy Gonzalez or not.

& I think that instead of making pathetic snidey comments you should start contributing to a Forum.

I disagree. Our front line defence is actually pretty good, and you don't see us miss that many tackles. The problem is when the defensive line is broken. We just haven't got the pace to cope. Leeds scored three long range tries because they've got the pace to get outside our slow wide defence and then, once through, we've no-one quick enough to get back. It was painful watching Junior S'au trying to chase down breaks by Hardaker and Briscoe, like watching Eric Pickles chasing a pizza delivery bike.

Eden's defence is poor, but if he can at least get back and paw at the breaking opposition player, it might give some of our other defenders time to get back and complete the tackle.

Team full of superstars ...... Erm.

Another cracker RJ

I agree, but this will only help us when the opposition break through our defensive line further up the pitch. It's not very useful when we are defending our own try line.

Yes Eden is quick and elusive and we do desperately need some pace in our backline, this was never more evident than at Leeds on Monday, but Eden is not the answer IMO. He’s a player who at this moment in time we can’t afford to carry, he is a defensive liability and some of the mistakes he makes are ridiculous. He will may well make a 60 yard break and then for some unknown reason the ball will just pop out of his grasp or he will chuck the ball into touch, very very strange! Some of the comments that have been made about him being the next Bill Slater are laughable.

If we're after outside backs I’d much rather we went in for someone like Chris Riley who’s on loan at Wakefield (and I'm not his biggest fan either) or even try and make a season long loan bid for Dom Manfredi.

A player we should do everything to try and sign for next season is Ben Jones-Bishop – I was disappointed that we didn’t make more of an effort to get him for this season knowing full well Briscoe was off to Leeds.

Agree 100% about BJB and you would think that someone like that will be targeted, I though have to disagree about Eden as when you look at what Gleeson has contributed this season he has lost his last ounce of pace and has turned into a defensive liability.

I'd be happy next season for a backline of Locke, Dixon, S'au, BJB, Johnson as then we go from slow and pedestrian to having a real threat with our pace.

Agreed but there aren't many speedsters who nail every tackle available at this time of the season who can be brought in under the cap.

This might all be academic as training with the team and getting any type of contract are two different things.

Said it elsewhere if the Doc is going for Locke significant money will need to be released by getting rid of some of the under performers, if for some reason he can't get Locke or a quality back from the NRL/SL then there is no need wasting the money so short term deals until the end of the season work for me and then Harris has much more options in the market.

The RU season ends soon and with the noises made about that avenue I fully expect a signing or two from rugby.

Why not kill two birds with one stone and try to sign Foster from the Bulls. He's got pace, he can finish and he's also an outstanding goal kicker.
