Makes a change from the apparent upward spiral from people who have no knowledge of what goes on inside the club.

that rules you out then

I guess you're in the "think I know" camp, unless you're betraying confidences of course

So back to the original point then Lostyorkie.....

We have a sapce at last minute, do we leave it empty or use it for a year with some halfback cover. Either way it won't affect any longer term plans we have for 2012.

What would you do?

Use it on halfback if we dont get the fev lad or maybe a creative Loose forward who can step into halfback should and injury occur to SL or RH?

If we have a quota and theres a player available to improve the team even if it is for a year then its worth it imho.

I wouldn't have any objections to us bringing in a ozzie half back for a year even if he is shiite, however if we sign him for 2 it leaves us with prolems for 2012 IMO when we have some cash to spend and don't need another squad player taking up a quota spot

that all depends tho doesnt it, what if he turned out to have a wow factor?? cant see any aussie coming over for a one year cont TBH not when halves are at a premium down under at present also

If he has a wow factor then he won't be available at the price we can afford will he? I'd rather bide our time and get teh right player. Better to have an open quota spot for 2012 IMO than sign an average player. We need to get better at dishing out our quota slots as we don't get the value we should

Dobsonesqe maybe?? he came with no rep at all and turned out ok..
I am pretty confident they know what they are doing, a lot of info coming back from fitz and co i believe, also led to believe that another of our old boys have had a hand in the search in oz too

Dobson came to Super League having played for two different clubs and was described by some Wigan fans as 50% of the partnership that stopped them going down with Nobby the other saviour.

Hardly someone unknown.

Do keep up chunk.

he was exactly the same as what were looking for at present when he first came to the UK,
IE had a bit of experience, was failrly unknown , no rep experience, no SOO
chugger!!
