Would have Ashton Sims and Terence Seu Seu but cant see it. SeuSeu would be a great replacement for Malc and I've always rated Sims(Ashton that is )

For me if next seasons team is like this I'd be very happy

1. Patten
2. Gibson
3. Gleeson or Charnley
4. Henry
5. Broughton
6. Holdsworth
7. M Smith
8 Cashmere
9 SeuSeu
10 Jewitt
11 Adamson
12 Sidlow
13 Wild

14 Ratchford
15 ? A new second rower
16 Boyle
17 Cross

Would love Shenton but its a done deal hes going to Saints

Playing along side Feka by all accounts, jesus I didn't think Saints were that hard up, is Widnes's ground got enough to get both him and Johny Vegas in at the same time

I'd happily take Ben Cross, if we sign some of these players we're linked I think we'd really have a chance of a top 8 finish next season, just hope we got in for a decent hooker.

I've just read that Martin Aspinwall has left Huddersfield by mutual consent as he won't play again this year as it had already been confirmed that he would not be offered a deal for the 2011 season irrespective.

Good player if we could get him back to full fitness, could bring experience and competition for places into the back line.

Thoughts?

Could be a good move but i'm guessing that Hudds feel that he wont be that good next season due to injury...

if he's fully fit, yes

if not then no.

Ryan Tandy, I recall he was playing over here a few years back, from what I've seen of him this year at the Bulldogs, I wouldn't be too upset with him, he's only 28, a prop/second rower (which I think we need), he's played for Ireland so he won't be on quota.

Salford showing interest in Tandy?
GENERAL HEADS NORTH
UK Super League outfit Salford are poised to announce the recruitment of Bulldogs favourite Luke Patten this week and my mail is that they are also showing huge interest in off-contract teammate Ryan Tandy.

You forgot to mentionRyan Tandy, the Irish International[/i

Born and raised in Australia.

Tandy started the year with Melbourne and was shown the door not long after the news about Melbourne's finances broke. He played for Melbourne in their '09 victory over Parramatta.
He's a very good prop! Something we're in dire need of.

I would be most pleased if we did sign Tandy as he is the type of dynamic forward we need. Could see him causeing absolue havock running out wide ala Judas 3 seasons ago.

Patten, Pattern, Patton is a top line signing of the highest quality and i'm sure with his friendship and understanding with Houldsworth will be a potent broken field runner.

Great signing but.......is this the final nail in poor old Stefans coffin!

You'd like to think not, SR has got all the talent in the world and i for the life of me can't see why he doesnt get a game when fit. For me he is the best stand off at the club better even the Reg, play at 6 and the Reg at number 13 and for me you'll see a much greater number of tries scored. Maybe he intends playing Steph on the wing next season and giving Tyrer the Spanish archer.

Agree. Aspinwall is a solid player and could do an important job on the wing or in the centre. He would provide the experience alongside Broughton & Gibson.

Tandy was recruited by Canterbury mid season and I would be surprised if they dont offer him a new deal for 2011. Solid forward and would do a job for Salford.

Ive not been impressed when Ive seen Ben Cross play for Newcastle. He looks like a real hard nut but ive never seem him dominate the opposition.
