Harold, I will hold you to that ,though I really hope you are right.

Harold,

Methinks you have gone to far with your confidence in your information this time. I really do hope you are right though - and not just from the viewpoint of strengthening our squad!!

Can't remember H being wrong.

Atomic, I'm sure Harold would welcome the company at the Turnpike, if you care to join him.

Harold, you could help raise a few bob for Bens wish if you sell tickets but I would recommend a Sack back n crack wax beforehand so as not to frighten the viewing public, that's if you are wrong though

[iIf[/i we were fortunate enough to sign Zac Hardaker & Ryan Atkins then I reckon our backline would be capable enough for SL, unless of course one of those picked up a bad injury.

Still think we need another wing/centre even if we bag these two.

even if we get both Hardaker and Atkins we will have one of the slowest backlines in sl

Pace is useless if your packs being battered, plus Higson as quick as anyone over 50-100m and Dawson can trap

We didn't do too badly against Huddersfield Who have one of the best back lines in SL
How many trys did our backs score

Ah, but there's more to it than pace. Granted, we ran riot for 40 minutes against Huddersfield, but then everyone was scoring tries against them. That's one of the major reasons they were bottom of SL, and pretty fortunate to be staying there!

Does anyone else, apart from me feel like the club has signed players too quickly, bearing in mind we didn't know who was going down & lot's of player movement still to happen ?

Just have a feeling that had we kept the powder dry a little longer then more quality could have become available.

It is always a gamble Steve, do we nab them before someone else does or wait until we are too late? You win some you lose some, my view of Atkins changed last night, he is not the sort of centre we want, he is too selfish and gets tempted out of position.

Ste, agree with Reffy's first point above, but will add that DB & Jukesy also know that the players that were signed up prior to Leigh's promotion have defo bought into the dream and the set up at the club. All for one etc&

I was told last night in the pub by a man with a bald head we have 4 more signings

Lee Mossop to be announced next. One of the top up and coming props in the country before he went to Parramatta. Indifferent season for Wigan last year. Hopefully Jukesy and the team can get him back to his old self.
