Orford is top of the list for me, and if we are willing to spend the money he will be ours. Whether we're willing is another matter but if we dont i can see season pass sales dropping. Orford would pay for himself in increased revenue for me.

Leeds have the same - Kirke, Ablett etc.

Saints also have a few.

You need those players to balance the squad, what we do need to do is make sure they have real quality around them in key positions.

orford would be the ideal signing but as has been stated above; we need a dominant pack in order to get the best out of him

Would anyone take sean long for two seasons?

hope we do get orford my son has said if we get him he will run down our street naked should be fun as its in full view of east park

I wouldn't be suprised to see Matt Orford playing for Warrington next year which could well mean (and I know its a perennial rumour) that Briers will be looking else where.

He has links over in Hull and would seem to fit the bill for the type of player you say you need. I can't see Hull throwing the name into the ring for him but as fans would you be happy if they did?

There was link on this earlier, talk of Kimmorly or Orford

hmmmm....not sure. If only we had a rumour thread.......

Mork and Mindy

Ooops sorry Mods - i did check but can't of hard enough

I can see Orford going to Wire tbh.

Thought Briers was on his way to Barrow next season?

I don't know where you've got that idea from. He's an excellent player!

If you think so then fine by me, I don't agree.

Entirely agree!

I would like to hope one would be Orford, and the other a fullback, a LF or a 6. Depending on where Horne, Whiting and Washbrook end up.

can't see why we would be any less of an attraction, we have a lot of cap to spend, and have achieved more success than Warrington have this decade, play to bigger crowds in a better ground, the only advantage Wire have is that Tony Smith is a respected coach.

That could be the entire reason, look at what he did at leeds and he is slowly turning them around, another season there and they may actually turn into the top 4 side they expect to be with the money they have spent

And we are all entitled to our opinion, thats what the forum is for. But I have to say you must be the first person I have come across that doesn't rate him.

With Briers gone and the addition of Orford, Wire will be almost totally built around overseas players

I think that will change too, IF smith stays, he likes to bring through young players to develop them and give them chance, by good coaching he improves them!!

They will be willing to pay that extra bit to secure him like they did with Monaghan when we were in for him.

It really doesn't matter who we sign because Agar and Sharp will coach any talent out of them anyway.

this time I think the board realise they stand to lose a lot of money if they don't sort our problems out, so i'd hope they'd be more ambitious about getting a halfback this time

and with Monaghan I'm glad we didn't get him in the end, i think he's been very disappointing for Warrington

Yeah but so has king et al there, could have been deeper problems there that Smith seems to be sorting, may get better performances from now!
