[color=red:357r1i0u]The Casual One's Predictions For 2009[/color:357r1i0u]
- Wire will finally beat Saints for the first time in donkeys years in 2009......Jimmy Lowes to be gone by July unless Wire are in the top...Sandals to be the footwear of choice on the Halliwell Jones terraces....Birchwood Centre shops to close down...:41336.jpg |

| Quote: The All New Chester Wire "No, no, no. I'd rather have Webb than Marshall or Hunt. Webb is what we want Bridge to be at full back.
If we are going for the real thing, we should go for Slater and/or Thurston.'"
I rate Hunt better than Webb. He is younger as well.
Slater would be the ultimate signing, but he has the Queensland and Kangaroo jersey for the next decade and so does Thurston, so its unlikely they would ever give up that to sign for Wire. |

With Gleeson's salary cap space freed up, possibly Briers leaving as well and other imports like Rauhihi, Hicks and Anderson off contract, we should target at least one of these big names for 2010. I hope Moran pulls out all the stops and offers them a package they cant turn down. A 300k a year deal, sponsored car and house in Stozza Heath should clinch it!
Hunt would be my first choice, he is younger and we need a full back desperately.
Either Marshall or Lockyer would do to replace Briers. Marshall has time on his side though and Lockyer would be a short term fix, but the most likely to be tempted over.
Thoughts?'"
All we need is a solid base of local players who'll work their socks off and a couple of very good play makers. We should be able to get the solid players from our Academys, the play makers can come from anywhere but I don't see why Australia needs to be our default setting.
Two years ago we had 75 teams playing in the North West Counties 16-18 league x 20 players per squad = 1500 players just in the North West not counting other areas and the younger age groups.. You can't tell me there aren't players in there who can't do the job. We do have a pool of talent. |

Wouldn't mind Wild or Purdham.
Although we would need a bring in a quality centre to replace Gleeson, as you don't get many centres as good as Gleeson in SL. We'd miss him.
And Although Lockyer would be great signing, he won't be here in SL for 3 or 4 years, he'd be more of a stop gap rather than replacing Briers. I'd like to us aim for a younger/promising player to enable him to blend into the squad, (as we did with Briers) i think thats what you need in such as pivotal position. You can't to sign a player these days and expect him to settle in straight away.

| Quote: Teddington Wire "Dan Carter; Sam Burgess; Kirk Yeoman.
First two fairly obvious. Yeoman can be the best centre in the competition if he got fit and back to the form of 2007. May just need a change of environment. Can easily fil the boots of Gleeson though, and we can't rely constantly on overseas players. We have to buy british at some point.'"
For a start it's Yeaman, not Yeoman or Yeamen.
Secondly, Kirk has quoted in the daily mail. That he feels fitter than ever before and it was 2006 when he was showing his class.
Tbh I can't see Yeaman leaving Hull at all, I think he will be a one club man. Yeaman is suited to the left more, he often uses a stiff arm to stop the opposition and to great affect most times. Unfortunately he just needs to pass to his winger more often. |

Can he have his hook back, please? |

I told my wife that a husband is like a fine wine; he gets better with age. The next day, she locked me in the cellar.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_4729.jpg |
