Welcome to Super Dooper League!
I am sure the above applies to 75% of the eams in the League!
Saying that some of them HKR/Hudds/Cas may actually get over excited about something that if we were watching would call boring at times purely due to their previous lack of success!
I am pretty positive that outside the Top 2 (And ask Saints fans how the last 10 weeks have gone!) the others are doing exactly what we are! |

[quote="Mark"]Great game of rugby league. Fantastic atmosphere, Wigan were breathtaking and dominant in all areas for the first 25 minutes, coupled with us making alot of dumb mistakes,then fortunately they brought McIlorum on which helped us back into the game. I thought some of the tries we scored to get us within two we're out of this world stuff. Towards the end we had to force it a little and we had a few things go wrong, i.e Monas kick on the first for King and Solomona going off who was causing havoc. Wigan were clinical in their eventual execution of us. Proud of Wire today and gave us a little glimpse to the future. Silverwood was awful as per, but I expect no less. Tomkins is a world class player and by far the best english player in SL. Wigan are a champion side and would be a worthy winner of taking our title as challenge cup. Good luck over the next month and a bit.[/quote]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_23997.jpg |

Yeah i agree but we aint had success in quite a few years and that is mainly cause when we get to the big games we cant take our game to a diffrent level and get found out |

A prop should of always been top of the list way before we even considered paying a lot of money for a centre who's best days are far behind him.
What a decision. |

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

A prop should have been the priority, but with 5 first team props on board, and 2 of those massive earners within the club it wouldn't have been sensible cap management for sign another prop, whether we needed it or not.
As for Gleeson, he's not shown top form, but look at the impact he's had on the right hand side of our defence since he came, we used to leak tries down that side regularly and he's sured it right up. After he arrived we also scored a heck of a lot more tries down that wing than we have for the last 2/3 seasons purely because we got a decent centre in there.
He may be past his best, but he made us a much better side. |

Probably is, But is the right one available at a price that's worth it???
I know pretty much for a fact that we could have signed 3 Aussies This summer for next season, For various reasons all 3 were not considered "Worth" it.
We have to remember that we have 5 props already, 2 of which are on contract till end of next year and 99% certain no-one will take off us at the money there on.
1 has just had by the majority of opinions a Very good season (Coley) and probably got the extension due to the lack of availability of a "Worht it" prop elsewhere.
And 2 x Youngish props is Prescott/O'Carroll who no-one wants to let go apparently.
Me, I'd keep Prescott and let O'Carroll go and use Mossop as the 5th prop but that's another story.
So if 5 props + Mossop & Possibly Davies for a game or 2 next season isn't enough then what the hell are we doing!
I understand we are giving the young lads more ££££ which i'm all for but i really cant see how we are full unless certain players are being overpaid'"
We are not at full cap! Even with the younger lads getting extra £££££££££. Who has said we are?
And yes certain players are being overpaid, Fielden being main culprit, but I don't blame him for what he's on and considering what he did in hos 1st 3 months I still think it was worth it.
However
The exact same problem that is a Millstone round our neck some fans want us to recreate just to get a Marquee player in that May or May not work out, I believe the decision on the 3 we turned down was the right one. |
