I know yeah, Soward and Dugan are only young and Dugan in particular will be looking for rep footy in the next two year. So doesnt look like he'll come over. However this time 4 months ago I didnt think Hoffman would come over.

Heard rumours Saints are after Tony Williams so he may be worth a look.

Tony williams would be great signing, he's massive!

Ive heard saints are linked with him but can't see it.

Yeah mate, Brilliant player who would add alot to Super league. Big and powerful with decent pace. Hes scored plenty off tries this season, mainly thanks to Jamie Lyon inside him.

So did Ade Gardner and we all know how good he is.

Jamie Soward is the worst tackler I have ever seen

Tim Smith?

But I agree hes had some bad efforts in defence, remember one where GI throw him away like a child. Think its on youtube

Thats a big call, our full back two years ago was not too hot on the defence part of his game

Agreed, Soward isn't the best tackler I've seen, but his passing, step, organisation, kicking game are very good.

In fact I would say Tim Smith is a better tackler, maybe on a par with Mathers but his kicking and organising is something special, it's just he couldn't tackle a big dinner.

Getting back to signings, if Fielen does re-sign then I can only see there being one signing if that. Apart from the 9 shirt there's no other position that a signing would be needed for.
Should TL be given the hooking job with McIlorum and Deacon goes for another year then I'd be very surprised if we brought another player in.

We wouldnt need another player. The only quetion marks then would be if we retained Phelps and Pryce

I would have to disagree, Maguire's judgement has been proven to be correct once again in relation to the Tomkins fullback move. We surely should try and keep him there, bringing in a new hooker would allow us to do this as well as hopefully replacing the guile and creativity around the ruck that Riddell gives / gave us.

Keeping Phelps and Pryce on would be good for the squad but I don't think either are necessities.

Richie Myler was dropped from the squad today as we all know.
Apparently after being dropped by Tony Smith for the Challenge Cup semi he greeted his boss after the game with a hearty 'F*ck Off!'
And that's the reason he wasn't in the 17 today. That's from a VERY good source.

Myler played in the semi didnt he?

Yes, scored a try and a goal
