For Ian Lenegan to make his first marquee signing, now is the time!!
Couple of decent Melbourne Storm players must be up for grabs and with Madge's obvious good rapport with the players there, if any contemplated Super League, surely they would consider us?
I know this isn't the style that Lenegan wants but could he honestly turn down a decent Melbourne first teamer. lets be realistic, the likes of Inglis will easily be able to find another top Aussie club, but hey, there must be some free!!!....

we also have a salary cap to adhere to you know..

but the cap doesn't apply to us, surely?

None of the big names from the Storm will leave Aus the sate of origin and test places mean to much to them, possible signing when they are 30+ but that is it.

Cronk?
It says they must be under the salary cap by the start of the 2011 season. Could make the signing for next season if thats the case.

WTF? One loss and you want to panic buy overpaid Aussies?

Heard it all now.

started the thread before the game actually

Agree. Lets keep the faith. It was a bad day at the office for the boys, but we all have them. No MS players please. Lets keep faith with the youngsters and build a team that is capable of competing for several years. to come. No champagne charlie "I'm only here for the money cobber" OAP Aussies please.

We've needed someone next to S. Tomkins for a while.

Surely Wigans fans know that Joe Mellor will be next to Sam, he is a class act

Stop panicking. Deary me, one defeat and we are in crisis it seems.

Is there only me who can see pieeater123's 2nd post? He started the thread before the game, get off his back, no-one is panicking.

Like I said in my report, no one would have predicting Salford trumping Leeds at Headingley last year in April. It happens. I'd be more disappointed if we had never been in a position to win this match, like happened under Noble time and time again. Ok the defence is worrying but it's more down to the tough month and injuries catching up with us. I think we've done well to get this far without defeat.

Definetly. Had Mellor been fit to come in at 6 or 7 it would have been a different second half tonight. Allowing O'Loughlin to play 13 with Mellor in the halves would have solidified us so much more. You can't say it because he's never played first team, but argubably an 8th key injury against us tonight.
