| Quote: Dave K. "Definitely need at least 3 more quality signings.
I am OK with our domestic signings as they improve us and not much out there, but we need better out of quota (don't understand Cust, but Cartwright rates him), the last two spots are key for a half and strike centre, I'd look at Hastings if we fail to get Lam.'"
Go on Wigans board and read what they think of Hastings….trouble wherever he goes..maybe a strong coach could handle him but is it worth the risk,personally I’d stay well clear. |

Watson had to get him to move in with his family to get good form out of him. He's an odd character thats for sure. |

Duds are our middle name
At least we can say we are top of the league in something. |

| Quote: mwindass "If we can get a half, Lam or someone of a similar ilk then I can see us getting top 6.
We need some more strike out wide, I'd be amazed if we didn't use a quota player on.
I'd like another middle too, we lack size against the better teams.
The biggest variable is the coach, if he's as good as we hope then play offs shouldn't be beyond us. Look at Peters at Rovers last year, got them top 4 and no one saw that coming plus Rowley at Salford this year. Hopefully Cartwright isn't a dud'"
You forgot to mention Sam Burgess
He got a lot of Stick on here when it was announced he had the Warrington job |

Add walker to that and abdul and cist next season. Holmes also been out a long time but was pretty robust before that |

Top of the league for red cards, top of the league for yellow cards.
If Ligi Sao was a club he'd be joint third for red cards. |

Worryingly we intended to use a quota place on that PNG full back who hadn't played first grade and was also heavily linked with that PNG hooker who hadn't made the NRL either. Surely we should be aiming higher than that. |

Not surprising really is it given the rest of our recruitment. We need a scrum half and a centre assuming trueman goes. Not that keen on lafai or Mcdonald as both seem to be on the downhill slope. Surely cartwright can find us a couple of decent players from oz |

Both Lafai and Mcdonald have been excellent this year, we need a string running, tackle breaking, offloading centre, there are both these.
Laifai's age is his concern and Mcdonald seems to move clubs regularly.
I'd be happy with either, doubt we get either, hopefully pick up another Fonua (first spell) from the NRL.
Same with a halfback.

They really haven't been excellent. Their stats are pretty average |

Thats why Ritchie Rich has brought in Hardaker and Chamberlain
Both well known for their strong running,tackle breaking and offloading.
Hardaker in particular is a wingers dream |

Which stats?
Laifai is 3rd for tackle busts, Mcdonald top 3 in metres, rest of attacking stats as good as most other centres in SL.
I'd have them both in the top 5 centres in SL on current form, probably behind Wardell and Percival. |

Lafai has scored 1 more try than sutcliffe, Mcdonald 3 more. Hardly pulling up any trees |
