Dahling I normally charge oodles for design advice.My last interior design job caused havoc, I obviously can’t name names but the gold wallpaper caused quite a stir.
HOWEVER I think I can safely say that only a complete peasant would consider anything other than F+B’s Mushy Pea Soufflé for their kitchen this season.

Sorry that should have read “poodles” not “oodles”!

I’ll just flick my fish supper at the wall in that case. Save myself a fortune.

No from me

Hardaker won’t travel west of the Pennines, no matter what your opinion of him. So case closed on that one.

I think it’s time to try Dean and Hayes alongside Williams at half back, but since the pressure for immediate success will be on us, I suspect it will be Ratchford. I like the idea of Hayes for an organising half, but it depends on whether the fans tolerate any mistakes. He’s not the biggest in defence.

I’m not sure we have a centre ready yet to plug that particular gap in the backline. Maybe a quick look in the NSW cup wouldn’t do any harm, even though I’d prefer home grown talent.

Heard that we are looking in the Championship for a centre to recruit.

The WC is about to begin. Literally dozens of centres, wingers and halves to check out.

So why so I sense our recruitment team will either be watching repeats of Antiques Road Trip or on a road trip in Aus recruiting antiques?

I went to suggest this in my post then edited it out, as I was afraid of the backlash! I’m sure there’s a gem to be unearthed, I just don’t know enough of the championship to comment.

I have seen all the Monday night Premier Sports televised Championship games and found them to be a better watch than the Sky Sports Super League coverage.

There is latent talent in the Championship, with players who weren`t given a proper chance by their initial Super League clubs, or players who are late developers, that missed-out on the Academy system.

I don't have Premier Sports, but I'll be trawling the YouTube highlights. Anyone you can think of that stands out?

Every time I watch Premier Sports, Emma Louise Jones.

Local lass too, she is from Northwich.

INOUT
What i was thinking as well, could be looking at the likes of Fiji, Papua new Guinea, Cook islands etc to see if we can unearth a gem from one of those maybe?

Okay, so one from the left field since we don’t seem to be able to find our organising half.

We’ve seen how good Williams is behind a decent pack in today’s Samoa game. We need a strong defender, motivator and long kicker to complement him. What about Danny Walker? He’s played plenty of half in his early days I think, and is a decent tackler with a good long kicking game. He’s a real motivator on the pitch, and is not afraid to fire up his seniors when they’re failing. I seem to remember some decent 40/20s and good game management from him the last couple of years.

Could Powell find another McShane inside Walker? At least until Hayes is ready?
