Loosely translsated as:
Player's agent Martin Offiah, having found that his ridiculous wage demands for Kyle Eastmond have now been rejected by Rugby Union, is trying to talk former millionaire club Wigan into making an offer. |

No doubt half the people he wants us to sign will be his clients.
His opinions of rugby league count for nothing, great player but lets face it not a master thinker of the game, he just likes to keep himself in the spotlight. |

| i think he is spot on
We need at least 2 top quality signings
What makes me laugh about the whole season is, people have completely forgot the fact that we lost 12 games last season despite two semi's

But yet the players who lost those 12 games were the same ones that had an excellent run towards the end of the season.
To me it’s proof that the squad is good enough but it was badly coached and prepared at the start of the season.

| He was a fantastic Winger, but some of the stuff he's come out with while trying to be a sports personality are 
I don't even think ardent FC fans feel they will be putting on a serious title challenge just with the signings they've made and still playing under Agar |

I think we could be 2/3 good signings away from lifting a cup. A full back/winger and a prop who can change a game.

Whilst I agree 12 losses is far too many and 6th was a very poor regular season, compared to previous seasons regular hammerings were not seen and that was an improvement. Most of the losses were close apart from Huddersfield in Round 27 when we had nothing to play for.
So at least we have moved forward in that regard but now we need to turn narrow defeats into wins and 2 signings is probably about right but I'm not sure they have to be "top quality". We just need a couple of players who will graft a good job.
A scrum half still remains a must for me. Leuluai is useful with ball in hand but his kicking game is very limited. Doing reports every week I've remarked time and time again that our tactical kicking game was poor and that was the difference in my view between 6th and the top 4 in the regular season and possibly the difference between a narrow semi final loss and a Grand Final in the play offs.
I still think Danny Brough would be the ideal 7 to Sam Tomkins at 6 (or the other way round). He's not "top quality" but he has all the skills required in the kicking department and would be the perfect foil for Sam. Stick Leuluai in at 9 and I think the balance is much better.
