Or next, potentially? isn't he on 3 years?

Seymour was never as bad a player as many were making out and could/should of been doing a job for us. Unfortunately the owner/coach deemed fit to critisize/drop him for every bad team performance and have almost destroyed the guys confidence.

Our problems stem, from a slow play the ball,until this is rectified, our attack will never improve.

Our kicking game is poor, due to the kicker being hurried, due to a slow play the ball. - doesn't matter who the 7 is, nothing will change.

Getting the type of half back we need is exceptionally difficult.

One not yet mentioned who I think is out of contract and may be attainable is Tim Smith.

He has some faults - especially defence - but he is genuinely creative with the ball in his hands. Some people might scoff but in terms of creativity he is probably a cut above anyone we could possibly attain.

Would be a big risk however - how well would he react to being at a club with big pressure and expectations?

Signing Jacob Miller would be nothing short of a spectacular punt. Has anyone seen him play for Wests last 2 weeks? Who knows how he will eventually turn out but surely he is nowhere near ready to be the type of player we need.

We need a Shaun Johnson type, IMO. Fast & elusive. Handbury?

Cant see Widnes selling him

Sammut would improve this team.

It's funny how you're quick to say Brough's form will drop in the season, but then defend a player who has been, despite a few alright games, pretty average for us since he arrived.

Saw Miller play last week but he was pretty anonymous in an ordinary side.Big step up for the lad into the first team.

Handbury destroyed us the other week, admittedly against a very poor Hull side but he showed what an half decent half-back can do. A bag of tricks with good hands and kicking game. He would be great with Holdsworth IMO.

We don't need a world beater, just someone who has a decent kicking game, is consistent, can organise and who stays fit

This thread is a bit like that film review programme that used to be on the telly, hosted by Barry Norman.

Same title every year, just change the number.

I don't mind Hanbury in all honesty, seems a gifted player with good speed. I would hope for a better player than him but that will be harder than we think the sign someone. Hence why Wigan signed Green and I would rather have Hanbury over Green.
As for Sammut, not a fan of his neither am I of Tim Smith. Decent attacking player but defence is woeful, and before anyone says it. I know you don't sign a half back due to his defence, but it would be a bonus.

Who could we realistically be looking at from SL? Hanbury, Sammut, Smith, Bosc perhaps? Gaskell?

We've got Holdsworth for that, we need pace alongside him. Horne would have broken the line twice last night if he'd had the pace, we need someone of similar ilk.

Handbury, and to a lesser extent Gaskell would transform our attack. Pace at the line causes problems.
