If Wakefield give up their SL franchise we should be the first in for Tom Johnstone - great in both defence and attack.

here here

wakefield will be playing at dewsbury next season no doubt

Think you would well down the list if TJ become available.

Think you are right ,we would be well down the pecking order, But i think you probably meant to say when he becomes available rather than if.

we have been well down the pecking order on a few players in the past ... brierley an example!

If he keeps up recent levels, the Aussies may be looking at him before too long.

.................................and peacock !!......................ooops!

Would agree with this. On a plus side his fee would be decent

More likely to get a decent fee from a SL side as any fees paid by Aus sides count on their cap. U.K. Backs haven't done well with n Aus so they are unlikely to pay out a large amount.

if we can cash in somehow on brough maybe we should, we have had his best years now and not offering us much so far this season, kicking way off....and that was his strong point for the team

Hence my post about when and not if.

Take your point brearley , but which of our players is offering anything never mind much, Gaskell fair play is looking decent.

Who in the right mind is going to pay cash for a 35 year old at the end of his SL career who is out of form with his best asset (kicking game). No club are going to do that.

If I was Brough and Toronto are offering a good 3 year deal id take it as if he stays with us next season deteriorates even more .....after playing all season and the world cup he will have had a long year and at his age its going to take it out of him......he may not get a deal like it the year after.

It would be a good way to end his SL career having the world cup as well. Then dropping down to the championship of which he could probably play until hes 40.

by cashing in i mean letting him go if theres an offer from toronto... that would free up a big lump sum for us to sign some one new
