hmm trophies over money??? leeds have won trophies in the past while we should win trophies in the future! (hopefully anyway)

thats why he didnt even consider saints then and it was a race between us and leeds!

I really hope we do sign Briggs. Looks like a quality player and if he can learn from someone like Briers I believe he can become a complete player...

isnt this what we were hopin for with myler?

Myler's only had 1 year and is improving. Also I think Briggs is more of a Briers like playmaker not the support play half-backs such as McGuire or Myler...

could be good for development for when monas and higham are gone

Yeah, probaly need to develop a young hooker when Monas and Higham leave also.

id like to see us promote from within personally. some of the u20 and u18 are looking pretty decent

I think you'd be better only having one developing half back at a time. Buy an experienced partner for Myler for the 2/3 years after Briers goes and then after that Myler should be ready to step up as the experience between the pair.

Being realistic, when Briers and Monaghan go we won't be promoting an academy player or signing anyone from NL1, we will sign players from the NRL.

when judging teams,and in the way you have selected them,then surely the side that "have won trophies" obviously takes precedence over the "should win trophies in the future" should it not?
warrington are a very good side admittedly,but their recent trophy successes surely indicate that at present they are nothing more than an exceptional challenge cup winning side!
the sign of a champion side is to actually win a gf
the sign of a legendary side is to win a gf for 3 years in succession
