Briscoe has the combination of pace and strength to go the distance, but there's no one else with the pace to score a length of the field try. Don't think Sharp is that quick, either.

I forgot about Briscoe..

A look at the post of mine that you quoted would have reminded you!

Don't think we're gonna make any top class signings tbh. Ellis apart.

For mine,I wouldnt renew Russell's loan.

Play Horne at FB for the rest of the season, lets start building for next season.

I listened to Shaun Wane's interview, said his young players, cant wait to get to training, and are hell bent trying to improve.

Think, we need an influx of young players with the same attitude.

Flies in the face of what gentle has been saying we need.

Add in those players plus a decent prop and probably a lesser one and we really haven't gone forward at all in replacing mckinnon, turner, sharp, manu, o'meley and moa

Agree Jake.

AP stated he wanted us, to be challenging for honours, the above pivots,Kearney and Holdsworth
wont achieve that - imo. -Also if AP wants to attract 15k crowds, he needs to get out his cheque book and sign players who will put bums on seats, ie Rangi Chase - not Brett Kearney and/or Daniel Holdsworth.

If you've got FC Live, watch it again and he won't be. He was completely lost under kicks, he dropped 2 simple passes in good attacking positions and slowed the attack down.
I like Matty Russell. He's got potential, and he's keen. But if I was Shaun Wane, I'd recall him before his confidence is ruined.

Thats how bad the rest were.

I can't understand why people were raving about him after last week. Must have been watching a different game to me,. Some people see a player making a couple of decent runs and completely forget about all of the errors

He's shocking in an attacking line, the ball gets to him and he just palms it backwards.

I don't think he'll ever be good enough to play full back in this league tbh.

I agree but I would stress these are only rumoured signings. If we can attract a good six and prop from the NRL then add some SL players I'd be happy.

He needs to develop his passing game big time as like you say he gets the ball and our attack just stops.

I thought McKinnon going was going to be a big loss but I didn't realise how much we would miss him.

It's not just his passing, it's his timing into the line, he never seems to get to the ball when he's meant too.

Another thing I noticed about him yesterday was that he spends most of his time in attack around dummy half, there were three or four times when we were on their line and Houghton had to shove him out the way to take control, when he should have been in a position to join the line.
