Why would they be dumb? Serious question. I thought Cayless had quite a good rep.

The lad is fading fast. Not the player he once was, although he could still do a job in Sl i am not sure he would have much more of an impact than Fielden.

In which case let's hope we stay clear.

I'd doanything to go back 3-4 years and bring back logan and fletch and if we had them with the pack we have got now our backs would have something to work from

If I had a 'RL time machine' there would be other I'd be pickin up before them

Cayless is 'fading' but defo could still be a good prop in SL.

But more importantly he would bring character, leadership, aggression and a fight to win attitude which we desperately need.
Currently we're lacking these sort of players, especially in the pack.

Cayless is a born capt and winner. Having him around for 2 years would have a positive impact on our team.

Didn't see this posted rlhttps://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,25655655-23209,00.htmlrlAnywhere.

So looks like Webb ain't coming, can't say I'm bothered personally the guy was never going to get a Visa any way, and looking a few pages back those who watch the NRL have have bemoaned the potential signing of Cayless. Looks to me like all the news paper stories and rumours about a prop have dried up somewhat, makes you wonder who weve got lined up if anybody.

Can't say I'm too dissapointed, would of been a gamble IMO

I can see Cayless coming to Wigan especially if the rumours of Kearney as next coach are true, just wish he would bring Mr Asotasi or Mr Blair with him instead

Read the article, reeks of NQ trying to tempt us to make a move for him, they don't want him.

Neither do I, sorry Mr Webb!

I'm sure he's devastated.

I genuinely think we need three signings next year - two props and a halfback, along with obviously a new coach. I would release all four of Smith, Bailey, Phelps and Coley. I would also certainly arrange a season long loan for Eamonn O'Carroll next year which would leave us with the five props fighting for four positions if we were able to make the signings.

Who knows what stage Lenagan is at in terms of recruitment for next year but it doesn't look promising right now.

Don't personally no why we don't go for more Kiwis such as Adam Blair, you'd think they'd be easier to attract over here with not being able to play origin, plus unlike the Aussies the you can still play for the kiwis without playing in the NRL.




Thats the feeling I got from the article, it more or less states that they want to free up salary cap space in which to sign there more up and coming players on longer contracts, and with them saying that they haven't had any contact with Wigan for a while that can only be a good thing for those of us who dont want to sign him.

Reading Kris Radlinski's book gave people an insight to which overseas signings came across as most beneficial and influencial to the club.

Carl Webb is a very good player, but I'd like to see us sign players who not only make a big impact on the field but also on the training pitch and around the club in general setting standards in regards to the players culture. To me, Carl Webb can't tick all those boxes.

Kris mentions Craig Smith and Quentin Pongia in particular who it seemed to get their team mates respect and young players found them intimidating yet influential. Players like that don't just improve a side physically, they improve it mentally before you even set out on the pitch on the training ground and in changing rooms.

Ruben Wiki would have been an outstanding signing for Wigan and it's a real shame we couldn't get him. Despite his age, I think Nathan Cayless is the type of player and person that this club and team would benetfit from rather than a fiery-type, rebelious badboy like Carl Webb.

I just mentioned the same kind of thing in the consistency thread.

Our younger players aren’t going to reach their potential unless they serve their apprenticeship in the right environment imo.

We need the type of players like Pongia, Smith, Farrell, Clarke, Edwards & Radders were.

How deseprate are North Queensland to get rid of Webb?

They have 3 props they want to sign up for next year but can't do that with Webb on the books and they want rid to any mugs who'll have him(or thats how i'm seeing it).

Stay well clear or even better go and put good offers to a couple of their other props they'd rather keep before Webb to really p*ss them off!
