I think i know where your coming from here especially about the bit where you mentioned strength, pace, elusiveness and running at defenders with the ball he was a definate danger.

We havn`t produced one of those sorts of players since Mark Forster and he could have been anything given a run at stand off, some may come along and say what about Henare ?

What about Henare ? My answer to that is that Henare was signed from another club, Mark Forster was nurchered through the system at the club similar to Ryan Giggs was at United.

preston campbell currently playing fullback but a stand off /scrum half , went to gold coast titans after appearing on big brother

Yeh, but he can be very moody and disappear as soon as the going gets tough.
At least that's what happened on never mind the buzzcocks!

I think the odds must be on this. But Sally makes a good point in signing players that may not have the hunger for success any more (as say Robinson does) and the drinkypoo bit worries me a little too.

Either way Long or Robinson or establish NRL half back for me. The side is crying out for it.

i do think signing dobson would be fantastic, would really help briers out, and i think he would be a fantastic aquisition for the club. if we make one signing i hope it would be him

Newcastle might move for Long, he wants to play in the NRL and the Knights need a Scrum-Half.

At the minute Newcastle Knights are playing loose forward, Abraham at 6 with Stand Off, Mullen at 7.

Kurt Gidley has established himself as number 1 Fullback this season.

First thing I will establish before I post this, I'm not to bothered if we lose long, I am confident we can replace him.

Thing is why on earth would Warrington want an old geezer? Lee briers is no spring chicken so why get another old 'un? why not look at signing the future next big thing? why not sign someone like dobson or robinson, someone that is not going to be around for a season or two and then retire?

Also if you were to be getting johns then it must be a fair wedge you have available. Spend it on a few players rather than one, that way you have back-up if you have this seasons situation again.

I think we should go for either Matt Orford or Luke Robinson.

add dobson to that list, any three of them would be great

We have no chance with Matt Orford, he could be pushing for an Origin place if he carries on with his form for Manly. Personally i think we were used to ramp up Orford`s wage demands in the NRL on our last attempt to sign him..

Luke Robinson is a good player but he is not good enough to take us to the level we need to be realistic challengers for silverware, i doubt he will ever seriously threaten the GB set up either.

If not those two, who do you realistically believe to be a target?
