If you think Lokie & Gaz O’Brien in the halves will reap rewards, you're living in cloud cuckoo land pal. That right edge was starved at the end of last season. I agree that Milford isn't the answer, but we definitely need a quality smart half along side Lokie with hopefully a good kicking game as well.

A half back for me too.

On a completely different matter, I bumped into Davey Armstrong and his partner the other night and said hello to them both and welcomed them to the town. I was struck on first impressions by what an extremely pleasant and genuine young man that he appears be. Great things are anticipated from him next season and probably needed because I just get the feeling that next season will be more difficult for us than the last two.

This is why, for me, we have to get the next signing - or two - absolutely spot on. There's no reason why we cannot do so, so I am really taking an interest in the speculation - nothing at the moment - that will surround who we make a move for. The next signing announcement could just be one of the most important that the club makes and will determine whether we hold our position in the league's top 4-5 teams

Marc Sneyd, anyone?...

I'd be much more interesting in Joe Shorrocks personally than someone who will be 34 in Feb

Sneyd is only a few months older than the player he would be replacing, and would give us pretty much what we're missing at the moment, a kicking game. If the wages were right, it would be a no brainer. But judging by DB's comments on X, we won't be in for any Salford players anyway.

Sneyd's not what he was but maybe what we need for a couple of seasons....and if it helped out the Devils ...
