I reckon we will keep our options open, the way we are run at the moment suggests we wont just throw the money around. IL & SW would rather play the youngsters & wait for the right players if we are splashing the cash.

Charnley is a centre isnt he? That would leave Roberts or Goulding for the wing ..

Not necessesarily but he might not have a choice the way its going

Charnley to centre and King to step up on the wing perhaps.

Stick Roberts in the centres

By all accounts your paying him enough so you might as well use him somewhere other than the u20's. Is he still injured or just out of form and confidence?

Joel is going trust me

I'm hoping Amos unleashes his true potential next year after his injury riddled season. I was under the impression Charnley can play , if these two gel and Amos finds some form that would be a very impressive attacking combination. I have also heard nothing but praise for Ryan King giving another option to our back line, with the influx of exciting youth players into the first team gives me faith for a future with out Joel but losing Sam would be a hammer blow.

Until I hear your source of information that is reliable then sorry I just can't take your word for it maybe your not the only one in the "know"

Wife works with someone who went to school with Joel, who rang him last night and asked him what was going on, apparently, he replied that it's all complete rubbish.

Something definatley smells fishy, i dont see what the hold up could be if its true that hes leaving?

If its compensation as somebody suggested then the deal isnt as done as some people think is it?

TBH its getting ridiculous, i would rather just know one way or the other.

I spoke to Joel this afternoon in Wigan, he was with Prescott, he said that he still hadnt made up his mind but was considering everything. I got the feeling though from the general conversation that he would be leaving. Obviously he wasnt going to tell every Tom, Dick or Harry who asked him what he was going to do.
