Your far too brainwashed Wolfie if you expect fans to be dancing in the streets over a player who has been sidelined near on 2 yrs and hardly set SL on fire!...The evidence and facts remain, it is a risky signing.

Ahh ok. Still at 24 worth punt still I can understand peoples reservations. |

| Quote: Standee "on the face of it that looks a good balance of experience and youth, I agree we should get Moa signed, but we have to be realistic, both Moa and O'Meley might want to go back to the NRL if there's some big money kicking around, that leaves us with Lynch (if he signs), Carroll and Bowden for 2013, which would be a concern, hope we're trying to sign Moa now.'"
Agreed. The balance of the 6 looks good, but when you look at the first choice 4 it's still a little old for comfort. Especially if Moa does go back (which I think is highly likely). If we bring in a backrower of a good age for next season it could help though, as then 2013's front row could be Lynch, O'Meley/replacement, O'Carroll, Bowden, Tickle. |

When people are mentioning our front row for next year you're all ignoring Aldous. He's been training with the first-team squad for a season now, so he might get a go if we get a few injuries.

I think most worry he might be too small to play prop in SL. |

well, I've just read the Wigan board on the subject and they seem, in the main, disappointed he is leaving, I guess it depends what our other options were, another year (or more) of Dowes?
If we sign Lynch then O'Carrol will be 5th in the pecking order, at 25 and learning from O'Meley I'm fairly confident he'll be a good addition. |

Not big enough IMO.
Bowden has much more potential. |

Presumably on the reverse side of the "knowledge" that everyone slagging O'Carroll off have been basing their opinions on. |

Absolutely, Dowes has had his day for me and won't be retained. O'Carrol is young with SL experience at the most successful club in Rugby League. |

based on how he was playing before his injury, [iwhat he is capable of[/i, what are you basing your low opinion of him on, having had a complex injury that took a lot of exploration and diagnosis? (which has now been successfully treated and he's had more than enough recovery time, at the age of 24, on a 3 year deal which will be weighted correctly to appearances and form (we hope), coming in to learn from O'Meley for at least a season, to play 5th choice.)
Yes, you're right, we should just have given Dowes another two years. |

Quote: Marfa Manu "Anyway more to the point, he's injury prone, wrong side of 20, he's Irish, he's stopping the development of our own youngsters (granted our last forward we developed of any note was kingy).'"
maybe not "slagging him off" but a negative to Standee's positive.
Even you were "not impressed".
Again not a slagging, but unnecessarily negative when the kid's only just signed. |
