If he does join us, presumably as a squad "fill-in" player rather than an automatic starter replacing Phelps / Marsh or Dean?

I wonder if he might be used at loose forward given the back row injuries we have had this year, a skilful and strong player may allow better cover with Tickle, Allen, Cahill, Winterstein (assuming he stays) and Leuluai covering the second row berths. Cahill may still be number 1 choice for 13, but he can play second row well enough should we be down on our starting pair (who I am assuming will be Allen and Tickle) he may make more impact in the second row with Bridge at 13.

All this assume that he comes to us of course!

he hasnt had much luck with injuries this season... however, when he is fit, he gets in the starting 13

that being said, i could see us moving him on.. we have a few good young players at centre, as well as ratchford and grix that can play there.

i could see it happening.

would much rather have simon grix.........

If Bridge is fit, he's first choice, i could only see us selling on if they think his long term fitness is an issue, in which case would you want to take him?

He's a good centre, deceptively quick, very strong, hard to put down, creates room for his winger and good hands.

Call me picky but I still think Marsh is our only 'good' centre (although he was terrible in defence on Sunday but possibly carrying an injury, as were others). Would go with Isa with Ah Van and maybe try Flynn on the other wing this week.

I think Marsh was carrying a leg injury which was no excuse for his pathetic attempts at tackling on Sunday. Phelps was been directly responsible for at least 5 tries against in the past few weeks. We actually miss Chris Dean and I never thought I would actually say that.

I don't think Phelps has made a tackle on about 2 months!
