Looks like Carl Webbs employers are getting impatient........

"I said to Carl that if he did receive an offer from Wigan we would be happy to sit down and talk it through with them and have an open mind," Parr said.

"But there's no offer forthcoming as yet.

"To be honest the longer it goes the less likely we would be looking at it favourably.

"If we were to let Carl go we would want a player of similar calibre to take his place."

They want a replacement.

Hey Stuey..................do you like Kangaroos & Koala's?

Always seen what point you are trying to make. Back to the original post was with regards to Webb, who isn't the type of prop we need.

If you look at our team the pack doesn't make enough yards and barely troubles the line. (bar Hock). We need someone to 'enforce' himself onto the game. play for the first 30-35mins leading by example working hard as well as being a dominate force.

An impact prop (2omin spells) isn't on long enough to be an enforcer.

We need an enforcer who is a leader and capt figure. i.e Bailey, Morley Peacock, Cayless.

Not a long term investment, that is for sure. He is what now, 31?

Res-signed with Penrith.

Yeah. I have a different approach to props than halves. I think an experienced prop with a good work ethic, a will to win, a natural leader and a hard nut will is something the pack is lacking.

He'd be good for another 2 years. Defo no longer.

Bailey and Cayless are the realistic options. I think Cayless ticks every box. Cayless never really has a bad game, this is what we need, consistency.

Not sure if Bailey is. He's a Origin starter and getting in to the Rep side more and more. Recently been starting on the bench as an interchange for Petro and Price.

I think as joint capt of Titans, he'll wanna stay where he is and progress, it's only a matter of time before he's a starter for the national team with both Price and Petro being 35.

Bailey has said he's defo coming to superleague but only for 2011. He should be our number 1 target to replace Fielden imo.

It's been rumoured for a long while that he wants to come to the UK.

Where has this come from? Although saying that he will be 31 then and after a final pay day.

Read it in a couple of places. One being the League express and the other being an Australian website iirc.

There were direct quotes from him about wanting the move.

If it is not for next season i don't think we should look at him. LMS must be our replacement for Fielden come 2011. Much depends on our ability to attract a Prop this year and who that Prop is i guess, but with the drop in quota i am not sure we should use 2 spots on Props, on top of Feka who is not counted.

As much as I'd love us to get LMS, realistically is he going to want to come to us, at the minute he's no more likely to win anything with us than he is with Quins.
In fact looking at the bigger picture, we maybe at the point whereby are only attraction to players over other clubs is the size of are crowd, we no longer are able to guarantee to players that they'll be in the playoffs or in the later rounds of the cup. Obviously this is going to hamper are recruitment of domestic players, and to some affect will it not also deter the junior players we atempt to recruit, who may look at other local clubs and join them due to there onfield success.

We have better training facilities.
We can probably offer him more money than most teams.
We are a massive club and there is a general attraction to it because of this.
We have alot of potential to be a big force once again.

LMS has to be fieldens replacement if fielden goes. His contract will be less than what hes on now no matter where he goes cos nobody else is stupid enough to pay it apart from us. I could see stu staying on a lesser contract and i for one would be happy with this if it meant we could bolster our pack with the likes of LMS playing along side him with the extra money
