If we were to sign any British player who could play in the halves I'd want to see Ratchford signed up. Good player, still only 20/21 (not sure which, all I know is he was born 4 years before me) and therefore will still be improving.

think rooney would be a good signing ,good player just fallen out with the manager,only went to nl1 because kear wouldnt let him go to another sl club,i would exspect a signing like this by the club and another at the lower end of the wage scale to replace josh

That Thomas Coyle dunt look like a bad option either. Watched him play a few times when he was at Oldham and impressed me then to. Would be worth a good punt for a Super League team who could improve him to Super League standards. Anyone know why Wigan got rid?!

No,i am

cant see rooney coming tbh

Wouldnt want Rooney.

I would have liked to see us splash the cash on Ratchford from Salford but more realistically looking for a young half back maybe in the lower league who could develop under the guidance of Long for the next couple of years.

Would look for some one young and has a kicking game as back up for Long.

never mind rooney number 5 for barrow think it was jamie nixon,he had the most gorgous come to bed eyes ideal replacement if the worst should happen to my other number 5

They are both from Fev.

We are still seriously short of cover in the halves.

If Long does get injured who will play 7?

We will be in the same boat as this year.

agar is from pontefract

Tansey,Washy or Turner.

Its guaranteed that Long will be missing a fair few games so cover is definately needed and if Rooney was cheap enough id give him a punt

Thats up there with the Maloney for GB quote

No thanks, would rather utilise Tansey at 7 if Long is injured.

Fair enough but who is at full back if Tansey is at 7?

Presumably Whiting?
