What if O’Meley (same pay), Manu (same pay) Whiting (same pay) and Moa (increased pay) all decided to stay?

Personally, If he could be tempted, I would rather us pay a bit more to keep Moa and get a top centre, before us signing Ellis.

If we could shed a few fringe players to fit Ellis in then great, we could then contemplate moving Tickle to 4/5th prop

It’s a bit frustrating with Turner. I honestly believe that he has it in him to be a very good (if not great) centre. If we could somehow get him to realise and bring out that potential in him before then end of the season, then it is problem solved. We would not have to spend big money on a new centre.

We could then potentially have Martin, Aspinwall and Burnett's wage + the £60k available.

Chris Thorman had the odd good game.

now your being silly

In your opinion

To those saying that Moa could stay, I'm pretty sure that he will be leaving. He's said in previous interviews that it's been tough for him due to his girlfriend/wife going back over to Aus last year. As much as I'd love him to stay with us, I see him going back over to her.

Where's this top centre coming from?

They'll be a few clubs on the look out for them next season and I can't remember any of note coming over in the past few seasons.

There's normally a better standard of forwards available.

Obviously, just as everything you've posted on the matter is your opinion. I would genuinely be surprised if anyone could have watched that game and formed a contrary opinion though, it was very apparent.

That's precisely why we already need to be looking IMO, there doesn't look to be an abundance about so we can't afford to be hesitant if we can find one.

I think everybody already will be, Wigan will be throwing big money about with Carmont, Roberts, Finch, Leuluia and maybe Fielden leaving.

How are players like Gelling, Lulia, Collis and Purtell getting on?

I don't know how accurate this is but here's a list of NRL players OOC at the end of the season. www.zerotackle.com.au/rugby-leag ... ract-2012/ Let the rumours commence.

Correct as you say HOWEVER there are lots of people whom disagree with you, AND based upon his last performance he was class end of story ..... lets take this up again after his next match shall we and discuss it again then after he has hopefully had back to back blinders

That's what I mean, others will be looking to get players signed up ASAP, if we leave it until later in the season to see if Turner is the answer it may already be too late by then.

Collis being slated on Wakey board and looked average against us IMO, Lulia looked pretty good going forward at the weekend, Purtell's been injured I think. Not sure about Gelling, don't know if he's injured or just being kept out of the team by Goulding.

Not after the next game, later than that. He needs to sustain it for a decent while, not just a handful of games. I'm willing to give him credit for what I've heard/seen about his Saints performance, but doing it again against Widnes will not convince me to change my mind just yet. He looked excellent at times last year against bottom 4 teams, it's consistency against better opposition I still question.

But it's not the end of the story. You can't judge a player based solely on his last performance, however good it was. You have to make a longer term assessment if you're going to progress as a club. I mean, what if a player was rubbish all season, then scored a four tries and saved three others in his last game? Would that be a good enough reason to give him a new contract?
