......winning SL is one thing, it’ll be easy in 2020 and has no gravity to me, backing it up in 2021,2022 is what we need to do to earn our mojo.

Quote: Winslade's Offload "The problem with buying Inglis is that whilst it will be a big crowd pleaser, it brings problems for the coach in picking a side. At centre he displaces King and Keanan Brand whilst in the BR you would need to choose either Hughes or Currie to step back with no opportunity for eg Livett (if he returns) or Robson. Inglis is an exciting signing, but a commercial one taken no doubt by our CEO.'"


Inglis' arrival causes literally no problem in picking the side.

A problem is what happens when you are stacked with talent at a position and worried that you're going to put someone's nose out of joint and make them want to move on. None of those names that are going to miss out are irreplaceable. If Inglis had joined when Tony Smith was here, I'm sure TS would have been ruthless enough to put him in ahead of Rhys Evans and not stressed about trying to find him a place.

The priority is to try and win SL, not to find places in the side to fit existing favourites in. Top teams have churn all the time when players get displaced by better incoming signings.

That's the mindset of a relentless winner...you would have suited the Wigan dressing room with Edwards, Hanley and Bell.

Rhys Evans had the raw talent to be anything. He was up against himself though, not player competition. Just injury and recouping continually.

I can see where you are coming from, but if you put Inglis into the second row you have to tell Currie or Hughes that they are stepping back, and whilst neither of those players are outstanding they would certainly walk straight into most SL teams. Worse still, they would see inferior players like Akauola / Latu / Davis etc albeit in a different position, getting regular game time. With the current issue of players taking a pay cut whilst the club still brings in big name signings, that's not going to help much with squad morale.


If you are a coach you have a single focus; winning SL. But the CEO will be focussed on winning and ensuring the club is financially healthy. That is why I think this is not simply an opportunity to bring in a better player to strengthen our team, its also about signing a world class player with a big reputation that hits the news, excites the fans and advertisers and sponsors alike. If it had been a prop it would have been a perfect signing and ticked both boxes.

Name a realistic prop signing presently available who would tick the box of getting the public excited and bringing the crowds in.

Yes, we need a prop, but whoever we could realistically get isn't going to get the pulse racing with the excitement that signing Inglis has.

I can't, and I don't regularly watch the NRL to know if there are any Adrian Morleys'.

The evidence to date would suggest that the one we have signed, Latu, is in many ways the same standard as Morley. The problem is that Morley is now 43 and hasn't played for five years.

Perhaps he will have trained relentlessly during the pandemic, telling himself that this was his big chance to get his name down first on the team sheet and to push Chris Hill onto the bench ?

This happens in every team sport. Cullen put Westwood in second row and it spelt the end of the road for Paul Noone, who had been a pretty promising prospect. Noone moved on to Harlequins and the dressing room morale survived.

Currie and Hughes are experienced pros and they know how RL goes, sometimes players get replaced by new signings, some will get fired up by the challenge of proving themselves better, others will mope and moan. As long as Inglis performs, it won't be an issue. The issues for squad morale come if Inglis turns out to be garbage, and is getting picked every week because he's a big name, and the whole squad knows the guy he replaced was better. Then it's a problem for the credibility of the coach with the squad so he has to address it quickly.
