| We would be coping a hell of a lot better that's for sure. Our main priority for next season to recruit a marquee half back and build from there.

On thread drift:
[quote="tb":24qn1m99]Tough. Conversations develop. It's their nature.[/quote:24qn1m99]
Little Pepe went to nursery school one day wearing his Widnes hat. His teacher asked him why he was a Widnes fan. He said, “Because my parents are.” His teacher said, “That’s not good. What would you do if your parents were drug dealers and hookers?” He replied, “Well then I would be a Warrington fan.”
[i:24qn1m99]There's a Wooly over there, baggy kecks and feathered hair
with a 3 star jumper half way up his back, that’s a fecking Wooly back![/i:24qn1m99]
[b:24qn1m99]Oooh-to… Oooh-to-be… Oooh-to-be-a… WOOLY![/b:24qn1m99]:24307.jpg |

| I think it would help tremendously in attack. Not too sure about defence though. We also lack any sort of natural leader. There is no Scarts, Martin Crompton or Eric Hughes type of character. The addition of such a player/players, and some effective defencive coaching, would do wonders for us, imo.

| as i have commented on another thread i will just quote it below
Quote: "to be honest i am a wire fan but i watch a lot of widnes games (as long as they dont clash with the wire) as my wife is a demic i mean chemic. your team is lacking an experienced and or galvanized spine to your team 1,6,7,9 that play well together briscoe excellent but your 6 and 7 are both supporting halves neither is a leading half (this is why your attack was more efficient with o'brien in there as he is a leading half) examples are wire briers leader, myler support. leeds - sinfield leader, maguire support. well you get the point. also your pack isn't overly intimidating you have no big hitter like morley, peacock, hock type player the best you have is cross and he is more of a penalty machine than anything else there are a few good players OOC that you should put an offer in for to strengthen it.'"
Quote: "unfortunately the leading halfback that you had was anthony watts and you missed him badly more than most people will realise
here are a few players OOC that would help the team and would help in the areas i explained previously if you can get them
Ben Jeffries good leader and good directional player,
Manase Manuokafoa hard hitting hard working forward,
Tom Burgess young big player with bags of potential,
Jarrod Sammut skillful player also good at directional play excellent kicking game,
Danny Orr experienced and dont come much better,
Tommy Lee hard hitting versitile forward,
Ben Galea good old fashioned prop,
Vinnie Anderson skillful second rower,
Matty Smith would be a risk but if payed off can be a good player,
Micky Higham bags of experience here and will teach the young hookers alot,
James Laithwaite good young second rower
i have selected a few that you would have more of a chance of getting but in there are some hard hitting forwards that you are missing and a few leading halves'"

| We need more experience I think, a good old Steve Carter would do us wonders . All it took was his brilliance and we won a handful of games that year. The backs were: Adam Hughes, Damien Munro, JD and Chris Percival. 2/3 of them in which came from our promotion winnning NFP team. As long as you have a big name with experience to guide us around the field then this should be fine
