Yes, because there are literally dozens of proven SL standard half backs available on the open market.

You do still have a quota space open which gives you options.

And it doesn't have to be a half - they could get a fullback and use Tansey as interchange hooker/hb cover.

There are other similar things that could be done (2 moderate players for more depth, if less quality) - but something does need doing fairly urgently.

Of course there aren't , but with Hull evidently having cash available to make a signing I think they would attempt to obtain a better player than McNally.

It's easy to say, and less easy to do, isn't it? We've just paid out a big fee for Westerman and at this stage will have to pay another as everyone's under contract. A player commanding Berrigan's salary would in all likelihood want a similar transfer fee. Perhaps you could list the SL standard players who can competently cover, say, scrum half and hooker, and whose teams are willing to release them immediately? Thanks.

Doubt Myler would leave. Very eager to establish a permenant place in the team after missing out on our Challenge Cup triumph and having turned down an offer to move to Humberside a few months ago, I can't see why he'd consider a loan option.

heard that the myler loan situation is a go-er...hope so cause horne is finished in my opinion.....and nicklas isnt in the saame league as myler yet...

I don't think the players you will sign would command the same salary as Berrigan and the commensurate fee.

As for players - Obst and as a couple of other posters have mentioned Sammut may fit the bill.
Whether they are available I can't say , but both the clubs involved may look favourably on receiving a transfer fee.

bothe did bugger all in the NRL and both cant even lace berro's boots BUT...could be a good option for us.......saying that tho, the amount of shi$ berrigan got for 3 years for being "mediocre" amazes me....sammut and co aint no berrigan thats for sure

Can't see Myler coming. Aside from the fact that he's turned us down at least once, not to mention the relocation, he would be not be a first choice. Surely he'd rather be a second choice half back at Warrington than at Hull FC?

if myler is seond choice behind a half-fit hasbeen then we have got issues

Anybody have a idea what sort of wages myler is on?

Just talking to a mate and he reckons we couldn't afford him.

So he reckons Myler is on more than Berrigan was? Is he a dobbin by any chance?

I can answer that!

Yes.

Fair enough. Would be OK with either. Obst generally has a really good game against us and Sammut is an off-the-cuff player that would be entertaining at worst. Would be aiming higher if it's just one player we're targetting, but sounds to me like Phelps + a cheapish HB cover from wherever we can find one.

If we sign Phelps Tansey will be half back/hooker cover.
