I know I am going to regret this... But:

I am sick of you all creaming over Wildie and lamenting the loss of Bobby Goulding who on heir best days are nowhere near the quality of Harry Seijka...

Great player to have in the squad...

I get what you are saying, personally I never rated Goulding and I think Wildie is a decent hooker but not good enough in the halfs.

What I was saying is that in our current situation is it worth it for us to be flying someone half way round the world at considerable expense who on the face of it wont be starting. If we pick up injuries then it may work out but I dont think we should be doing it in case of injury.

If I am honest I hope I am wrong, I hope he comes over plays plenty of games and does well for us.

I Agree Siejka is a class player , he made his NRL debut at 16 what does that tell you?

It will be Sjejka and Godinet at 6 and 7, skyes in the centres and samnut at fullback

No ones mentioned them on this thread have they?? Certainly all I have said is that I can't see how he will play unless there is an injury or we godinet off by moving him to hooker. I've also stated I think it's been a mistake getting rid of licensing and hope the RFL invest heavily in developing British kids. Don't turn this into another goulding/wildie debate

Never creamed over wildie blighty old boy just thought he's been badly used at the club given a chance here an there usually in games against strong opposition to save our senior players for easier games .Goulding if you check my posts when he signed I said it wads a mistake having seen him several times with warring tons academy.now harry I haven't seen I'll take your word for it but he'll have to be quality to justify a signing in my opinion

We are under the high ball as it is. Why compound it? Defence is 50% of the game. I'm really surprised people don't appreciate it as much as they should. We need to be solid under the ball to allow us to attack.

That he was kid that showed great talent and did not live up to his potential?

I am not slating the signing don't know anything about him other than what most others know, could be great could be poor who knows? All we can hope is that the club have planned for his arrival and how he will be integrated into the team. I doubt that he will be here to sit in the stands so the most likely scenario for me is, Godinet to provide impact hooker option with Sammut at 7 and Siejka at 6.

While I think Mathers is a poor player he does seem to be a leader and you need leaders in a dogfight so I doubt he will be dropped.

wait and see mate

But we did the same during licencing too. Bug bear of mine this, and has been for ages. We want it always, when its franchising and we are in danger of getting the boot it's not fair because of all the players we produce and because of the fantastic junior set up we have in and around our area. Now there is no licensing we are 'forced' to include too many of these in the squad as survival is our sole aim.

Something that needs to be improved on.

Clearly on this issue some clubs need to be baby sat, the RFL increasing the non-fed numbers to 7 will see clubs fill up on imports. They should’ve kept it at 5 and increased club trained players to 10 per club in a 25 man squad. Naturally London would be screwed with the number of players they released but this would be the way to stop clubs like Trinity stocking up on imports regardless of the jeopardy that awaits them at the end of the season.

I agree - partly.

I think the number of imports should be scaled down to 2 over the first 3 years of P&R, whilst the number of club trained players should be scaled up over the same time period.

Equally, squad size should be capped and the number of games a player can participate in per year should be limited; the U19's should also be reinstated and fielding one in the comp should be a requirement of participation in SL, regardless of moans about cost.

Clubs have proved they won't behave for the good of the game - so force them.

Maybe Agar sees Siejka as a full back ?
More and more half backs are converting to FB so they can take advantage in broken play ?
