Orford will be staying at Manly.

Lets go for Myler.

Thats my gut feeling at the minute but it will probably turn out-

Myler to Wire

Orford to Wire

Some cheap deadleg Australian to Wigan

Thats the wory. Its time for IL to either sign quality as he has done in Gleeson and not in quality of average players who do not make us a better side.

Riddell will take time to settle and he might become a good player for us. But Mcilorum is a better player at this present time. We need a quality prop and a quality No.7 or we can really kiss next season goodbye whoever is in charge.

True.

By why get a 31/32 yrar old Orford when in 2 years time we'll need a new halfback?

We need a long term partnership at Wigan.

No offence, but you weren't saying this when arguing the case for us to sign 31-year-old Sean Long on the other thread.

Orford will stay at Manly, I'm led to believe his financial demands exceed what any English club is prepared to pay.

I dont understand this

We would be in the same position if we signed Long. so whys your opinion different towards Orford

there aint half some back peddling going on in this thread

What about signing Shenton now and moving Gleeson to 6. has always been good at standoff when i have seen him play.

either that or move Phelps to 6 and get an exellent fullback.

I still think a Prop is a must, Mr webb will do just nicely.

also if we were to confirm the signing of say Webb or o'meely in the next few weeks. would the ball start rolling with regards to the home office sorting out his visa application?. purley so we could see if it would be granted or not. this would allow us more time to search for a possible replacement.

Is Shenton available?

i very much doubt it

That's what I thought.

I suppose that any player is available if you're prepared to offer their club a big enough transfer fee. But given that Shenton's comfy at Cas, and we have other positions to fill as priorities, I can't see us going along that expensive and torturous route.
