| Let's not forget that Deacs will be on the coaching staff by 2012. I can't see him playing on beyond this year. Will he go straight into the senior set-up or will he go and work in the Academy for a while?

| Quote: cadoo "I'd possibly like to recruit another prop, but we may have to spend our resources elsewhere. Halfback and hooker will depend on where Wane/Scully see Thomas Leuluai better off at. IMO it would be at hooker. Two scenariosFirst option
Brett Finch
Thomas Leuluai
Mike McIlorum
Joe Mellor
Second option
Brett Finch
Joe Mellor
Thomas Leuluai
Mike McIlorum
Unless of course we can recruit a halfback or a hooker.'"
Of the two, I'd go for the first.
I think Tommy is much more effective playing at scrum half. He's a very good hooker but he's world class at first receiver in my opinion. He was man of the match by a country mile for the Exiles on Friday and also won the Harry Sunderland award from scrum half in last year's Grand Final.
That said, I still don't think McIlorum is ready to play as an 80 minute hooker, so I'd be looking to recruit an impact 9 to come from the bench and really inject some momentum into the game towards the end of each half.
I haven't seen much of Mellor in the under 21s but I'd be cautious about giving a player with as little first team experience as Joe a bench spot from the word go. Problem is, when do you give players the chance to get that experience?
On another note, is the Matt King rumour simply wishful thinking or is there a (supposedly) genuine source?

| Two signings would make a work of difference. I'd like to see Matty Bowen and Matt King out of all the recent names discussed.
They would add experience to a team that is losing experience this year (Deacon/Coley poss Carmont) and fill in adding more strike to our team.
For example:
Bowen
Charnley King Carmont Richards
Tomkins Finch
Fielden Tommy Prescott
Hock Hoffman/Tomkins
Lockers
--------------
McM Mossop Faz Lima
Plus many others to fill in.

| Well Kearney from the Bull's has signed a new deal with them. So whether we wanted him or not, he ain't coming now.

Farrah would be an awesome signing-can't see it though sadly!
Personally I'd like to see Tommy at 9 with someone else on the interchange with him. I'm sorry to say I don't rate McM.
We have a couple of good 9's in the youth system waiting to step up, I'm looking forward to them making their mark on the first team. Personally I thought Sam Gee was a better 9 than McM.

These are all the hookers off contract in the NRL next year:
Paul Aiton, Clint Amos, Shaun Berrigan, Glen Buttriss, Isaac De Gois, Beau Falloon, Stuart Flanagan, Jake Friend, Aaron Heremaia, Masada Iosefa, Andrew McCullough, Casey McGuire, Anthony Mitchell, Aaron Payne, Mark Riddell, Terrence Seu Seu
Taken from: www.zerotackle.com.au/rugby-leag ... z1P6Yl38yf
Now I dont follow the NRL much but are any of these worth a shout? Obviously I know of Riddell and Berrigan but cant see any of those coming back to Super League now they have 'been there, done that'

I have absolutely no idea, that might be out of date a bit.

but i also grew up hating scully, wouldnt want him near a wigan team, just for the pure fact he is mr st helens,
the coupled with i really dont think he should be given the chance after being a buisness manager at saints and not really doing much if any proper coaching,
having wayne as the main man next year is a big enough gamble for me, y make it even harder by having a guy who has never been a assistant, or coach at the lower level for very long ,'"

I'd have Leuluai as the #9 with Logan Tomkins on the bench.

| Just seen Andy Tuilanga has been released by Sale, would be an interesting proposition to look at this year as centre cover. Don't think it will happen but could provide us good cover this year on a short term deal with a view to him replacing George.
Personally always felt his game was much more suited to league than union.

That was the Northampton one wasn't it?
Would it kill one of them to change their surname to Smith or something!?
