It is. Not sure what you point is?

If a club sold a half to Hull now they would be short of a half themselves and you only have to look at the lack of movement of halfbacks in SL and NRL this season to realise that there has been little happening.

Anyway we tried with Myler and offered a fee but it never happened.

if thats balance mate dont ride a bike mate!!
I am sure RA watches the odd game or two live as well unlike our friend standee the well known wikipedia of vertual RL

as with most paul, they believe that the NRL is bursting with halves that have their bags packed ready to come here for less money than back home , oh and the weather they love here too

I was merely pointing out that people can form equally valid opinions from watching games on the TV and that some fans cant make it to games for a variety of reasons without having to be judged by the likes of you on here. Still, dont let that get in the way of you throwing insults about at people like Standee for having counter views to yours!

TBH whenever we are on sky I always tape it and watch it again when I get home, you certainly do see a lot more on TV, sat in South I some-times do not see clearly what is happening on the other side of the pitch.

Oh great, another unwarranted personal attack from OOK.

Why bring me into an argument with someone else, you obsessed?

Maybe he's missed you lately

I wouldn't worry, he spells virtual with an e

Looks like he's expecting to play 6 next year.

How much cover do you guys want/need at off-half? lol

The early signs seem to be that Fitzgibbon will be staying at 13 next season and Westerman playing at 6 and learning his trade from him before taking over the jersey. On face value it looks like Agar plans to employ a very direct game-plan and not the more expansive one that has been touted.
Does this also mean that Lauiaki will be employed as the 5th prop next season?

Well Agar's direct game plan has ended up with him nominated for coach of the year, god knows how.

It would be plain wrong to use Westerman at 6 and Fitz at 13. If thats how agar wants to go then fair enough but the negatives of that are that we will be short in the back row without Lauaki, short up front without Fitz and boring as hell as we have been through having a prop at 13.

I'm hoping this is all a bit of a joke to keep teams guessing but who knows.

I like the sound of that!

i'd go for...

1. Jordan Tansey / Richard Whiting
2. Tom Briscoe
3. Shaun Berrigan
4. Kirk Yeaman
5. Will Sharp
6. Richard Horne
7. Sean Long
8. Mark O'Meley
9. Danny Houghton
10. Lee Radford
11. Danny Tickle
12. Craig Fitzgibbon
13. Joe Westerman

14. Danny Washbrook
15. Willie Manu
16. Epalhame Lauaki
17. Sam Moa

It's a possibility depending on the opposition, however Horne and Long will be first choice so he would need to do something else with Westerman then. I can see him playing 13 when the halves are fit with Fitz dropping to prop/backrow.

I don't think Westerman at 13 automatically means a more expansive gameplan but a 13 playing at 13 is much better than a prop/backrow playing at 13.

To be fair you will still have plenty of numbers in the backrow with Burnett, Kent, Green and Washbrook able to step up.
Also, if Westerman is to be the extra half back perhaps Agar will turn his attentions to signing another prop instead of a half back.
