By way of Salford……you seem to have a very strange obsession with Myler….what’s the matter..wouldn’t he buy any bath bombs you got from Lush at weekend.

Cust will be on the bench to cover 9 and the halves IMO

He'll be a starter, we won't be wasting a quota spot for a bench player surely?

Lots of quota players start on the bench, Parcell for example as well as lots of forwards. Doesn't really matter these days, both hookers will play around 40 mins.

I think he start as he is more steady than Balmforth who offers better impact off the bench.

I think would could have signed Reynolds to do a similar job and use a quota spot, but Cartwright and Myler think he can offer something more.

Myler had to do some emergency repair work to the squad and until more injuries, bans and head knocks we had improved. Dont know for certain why we have raided Leigh so much but they started to spend big 3 years ago and that means a lot of their squad are coming to the end of their deals. They are also borderline on the IMG points so some players and agents may want to move on as contracts are instantly void if not in SL

Honestly have you EVER on this forum posted one single thing that's remotely positive? just asking for a friend?

you dont have any friends so thats a lie

It’s not even that, it’s the need to comment negatively on everything!

So with it now all but confirmed that Lam won’t be joining, it’s back to the drawing board. We either go down the route of looking for an all out half back quota, with Cust at 9. Or a specialist hooker quota, with Cust at 6.

No idea who it could be, Jake Granville voiced his desire to play in SL this week. You would hope Myler would’ve kept options open, we shall see what comes next.

From what I remember from a Myler interview recently, he did say something along the lines of, we haven't put all our eggs into one basket. We have other targets.

Myler seems to know what he's doing, he's got a clear plan going forward, even in this difficult market. A long with Cartwright, they'll have a players in mind. Whether it be Full back, half back, centre or second rower

We need an out and out 7 who can guide us round the park we lost our way 2nd half, not a 7 who can play 1/6, we have Moy and Walkeer as our 1s and Litten and Hardaker if needed, I'd like to see us get a pacy centre as our other overseas

Not that I think we should re sign him, but I presume the satae deal the HDM reported on a whole back isnt happening now? Wouldn't be the best use of a quota spot given our needs for a centre / half

I for one really don't understand all the talk of us still looking like a bottom 4 squad next year? I mean aside from the fact we have one of the most highly respected NRL level coaches coming in who has recently coached at the very very highest level in SOO, we have some really experienced SL hardened players coming in to blend with our crop of exciting youngsters. Not to mention we are clearly still going to be throwing money (and a lot of it) at a half back by sounds of things and are still in market for a strike centre, i just don't see the issue? Yes its not gonna go and take us to challenging again but its 100% progress on the field ion terms of what we will be able to field next year and if you look Like for like with the other teams that we want to be challenging to get in front of next year (Cas, Huddersfied, Leeds, Salford, Leigh etc) i don't actually think we are a million miles off, so with a real drill sergeant in Cartwright and a new backroom staff i think there's so much room for optimism next season. Take Salford as prime example ... you would look at their squad and think it was capable of top 6 let alone top 4 but they punching well above their weigh due to good coaching

I believe if we look something like the below next year (left gaps for new signings i think we will end up getting) then we will be there or there abouts challenge ging to get in the 6 which would be a MASSIVE step up on this season.
