Pure speculation until all the signings have been revealed, as we may have another Prop on his way in.

You need 4 impact + 2 understudy's minimal , Sidlow I class as 2nd Row first, filling in a Prop if we're desperate , Rob Parker & Jewitt have had long spells on the treatment table so maybe they're factoring that in .

The most successful sides have strength in depth in the squad - you WILL get injuries, you must be able to cope - you need a bigger squad than we have now!

but if 90% of our fans walked out , we d still have more than you in the ground

Actually at your weekend game there were 13000, ours 4000, so in fact you are wrong. Your average home attendance this year is 15,612, ours is 4,230, which in fact 10% of yours is 1,562, correct me if I'm wrong?

1,562 that was Wigan's average crowd in the early 80's

typical pie eater, that was funny when your fans were leaving, we were getting beat 40-0 at jjb and we were still louder, hmm yes 18th man must be injured

you could put parker back to 2nd Row, a position he played his best rugby in a salford shirt imo.

Bailey is for me an identikit player to Nero and I can't get enthused about him either. If we have to have one of them make it that. Keep saying it but for me Neal (or is it Neil) is more of a 2nd rower than a prop for the time being and looks to have all the attributes to be a class act for many years to come.

I agree - Given the other quota players we've been linked with, Bailey would be somewhat underwhelming for me.

Every time I've seen Neal play, I've thought he would be better suited in the 2nd row.

I don't mean to appear disrespectful (or kick off an argument) but you really need to take a reality check. Unfortunately we are not currently a club that can have their pick of any player we choose. I would imagine it's a hard sell getting players to join us and I'd imagine we get several 'thanks but no thanks' replies when we approach players. Personally I'd be delighted with both players because in my view they are both good pro's and better than those leaving.

I'll fooking tw@ you you



To be fair if Bailey were playing at say a Cas or Wakey we wouldn't be interested as I think the fact he is playing for Wigan gives him kudos he isn't really deserving off. I actually agree with you in that we need a reality check, the reality for me is that Bailey will command a high wage that I'm 100% certain we could utilise on someone who would bring more to the party.

But would these players be commanding the same high wages they currently get at Bradford and Wigan? I'd imagine they are at a stage in their careers when they have to take a cut. As for Bailey and the Wigan kudos comment . .didn't Bailey play for Australia and New South Wales before joining Wigan?

Someone mentioned being underwhelmed, you said you are not enthused, who do you honestly expect us to be able to sign right now? Would the prospect of playing for Wigan Athletic been of interest to Ronaldo?
