Myler is all class, and behind a top pack would be even more effective, but i would be slightly dissapointed if saints went for him as it would show a complete lack of faith in Eastmond/smith and our junior development.
Where would Sam play if you signed him? stand off? would he be happy moving over?

Let Wire have Myler if they want id want us to go for Ratchford.

Lenagan needs to be careful here.

He did exactly the same thing last year when he openly spoke to both UK and Sydney press saying he would be speaking to this player and that player all the time creating headlines and raising fans' expectations before eventually disappointing.

If he's going to do the same thing this year, then he has to deliver.

Mason obviously would be phenomenal, not sure Orford is the way to go considering his age and form. And btw Jonh - you sure there's 'bugger all chance of Poore coming over?'

I know for a fact Wigan are in for him and stranger things have happened. He would be right of the top of my list. Obviously Wigan aren't short of competition for his signature however.

Big call. I rate him but i do not think he will be a top class half whereas i think Myler is. From what i have heard though it does seem likely Myler will end up at Wire.

This has been my contention for a while. I'd love to see Myler at Wigan, but I'm sure it would be a problem for Sam. Tommy has signed a new contract, Riddell is here for another three years. Sam would feel he was in direct competition with Myler for the other spot. I'm sure the plan would be to give both of them regular game time, but would it be regular enough for either? Wigan need to replace Smith with a creative half. If it's an old pro, Sam won't feel that he has no future at the club. So, for once, signing a skilled but older Aussie - someone like Orford or Lockyer - might be a good move.

Personally i feel it will be McIllorum who will be first to suffer should we bring in a half regardless of age.

Sams playing 6 anyway so it wouldn't make a difference. When he's started it's been at 6 with Leuluai at 7 and when he's come from the bench it's been at 6 with Smith at 7.

Unless Riddell was to leave and Tommy moved to 9...

The Lockyer rumours seem to have died a death.

Just watching him now against Wests and it had me thinking about the possibility of a deal for him. He hasn't re-signed with the Bronco's as of yet and will surely be making a call on his future within the next month or so.

With Lenagan being over there at the minute it makes you wonder!

I think Lockyer's a pipe-dream, to be honest. I was talking about a player of that ilk rather than actually making a bid for Lockyer.

When you consider the fuss made when Wire signed Andrew Johns on a three-match deal, imagine what would happen if Wigan were to sign Lockyer for two years. We'd be the talking-point of the game again.

Can't see it though. Even at 31, he'd want a fortune.

Is that your phrase of the day or is it just a pipe-dream?

I agree though Lockyer will be set for life if he sees his career out with the Bronco's with off field opportunities coming his way with the club when he does finally retire.

It's a mixture of both depandant on who the person is reading the rumours.

The only out and out top line Australian international thats come over here in the past god knows how long is Matt King and he's made it obvious whilst he's been here that it was pure greed that enticed him in the first place.

The likes of Orford, O'Meely, Finch and co are realistic possibilities because they aren't playing rep rugby anymore.
