| Quote: Rob_Wire "I can`t understand why you would put Paul Cooke forward as a signing unless you were on about reverting him to 13, Lee Briers and Paul Cooke are both players that like to control games and they are leaders and if you play them both together then one of them will have to take a back seat at being a leader and you will then only have half the player.
Lee Briers needs a foil to attract defenders away from him, we need that nippy type half back that will cause defences a lot of problems by taking on the line and Rob Burrow is one of the trickiest customers in the game at doing that and he wins a lot of penalties as well for high shots and defenders trying to hold him down.
Lee Briers and Paul Cooke are both organisers, distributors and they can kick teams into submission but we don`t need 2 of the same type player in the half backs as like i said one will have to take a back seat role at being a leader. We need an attacking threat like a Burrow or Lockyer type player that will take on the line which will leave Lee Briers to do the organising and kicking with the occasional taking on of the line.'"
I don't agree. We need a half back that can take the weight of Briers and Cooke / Sinfield that mould can do that. In one post your criticising Bridge for individuality and saying he's not a team player then putting Rob Burrow forward as a viable option who is much the same. Rob Burrow is largely individual. That's not to say I wouldn't want him I'm merely pointing out your indifferent approach.
For me any halfback that improves Warrington is welcome, Robinson I can see the merit in, as Sally has said the likes of Sinfield would be diffiult to attract.
If we were as you say after a ball runner at 6, no more, a guy who attracts defenders, i'd rather they signed a Preston Cambell, Amos Roberts sort of charachter.
At the end of the day it'll boil down to who's available at the end of the season, who's genuinely interested and at what cost.

| Quote: Lefty "You don't see Lockyer as an organiser? I watched him orchestrate on of GB's biggest defeats on home soil. Don't be fooled, he is an organiser.'"
He is a great organiser i agree, he is also a great attacking threat that looks to take on the line when ever possible and he still retains his pace to finish off any breaks he makes. Paul Cooke is similar to Lee Briers, he is most effective when in the opponents 10-20 metre area with a short kicking game or a killer pass and he will not make the long range beaks that Lockyer is capable of and then finishing off the break.

You know full well Im right.
How arrogant is it that you have assumed that Johns would automatically sign for you just because he played 3 games for you a year or so ago?

Oh, and cut out the bad language or we will set ILDA on you (then you won't be able to use SC or saintc)

| What about Craig Gower - dont know his contract status or if he'd fill the requirement already suggested on here but a good performer in the NRL over the last couple of years???

Yeah your right, that's all we based it on. Never mind the 1,000,568 articles whereby he stated that if his body help up he'd be here in 2008. The arrogance of us, incredible.

| Johnathan Thurston - talented young player. IMO be the best player in the world when Lockyers playing days are over.
If not Thurston, I think we could get Dobson and he's proven in Super League.

| Michael Monaghan had a fantastic game against the warriors given the chance at half back. I havnt seen him play enough half back to say I want us to sign him but if he continues to play that well while Orford is injured then he should definitley be looked at.
Stacey Jones and Sean Long are both off-contract at the end of the year and while I dont think they should be given a massive salary they would be worth looking at.
Im not sure on Gowers situation with Penrith at the moment but he wanted out not so long ago and would be a better option then Long IMO.
One half back I cant help but think the club is going to be interested in is Brett Kimmorley who IMO is way out of form. However I thought Barrett would be a flop with Wigan and it turns out hes far from one.
If Cullen wants to stick with Briers, Bridge and Grix then it would be worth looking at stengthening other positions such as wing.
Hazem El Masri doesnt look like he will be staying at Canterbury and is a decent player who kicks goals for fun which would let Briers consontrate on setting the team up after a try is scored.
Brent Tate is also off contract, can play wing/centre and would be worth a look at.

So you based it on tabloid info. Superb.
BTW, Ive seen most of those articles when the links were posted on here. Most of them centred around the journalists opinion that Warrington are the front runners etc. I dont recall any direct quotes from Johns.

The best quote about Johns coming to Warrington came from one of your own players - Matt Gidley.
