Back the bid - not back it until the going gets tough. WTID:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40663.png |

Say for instance we retain 3/4/5 more players from the current squad, realistically, which of them would you put in your starting 13? This is just out of interest.
For me:
flynn
Kavagnah
Haggerty
Leulaui (possibilty)
These would feature in my starting 13 with the others on the bench or for backup.
Still not convinced Coyle has the pedigree for SL, however he's only young and been one of our better players this year so only time will tell. I'm expecting 8/9 superleague players to be signed after September 1st. We must still have 60% of the salary cap left imo if not more. |

Sammut has signed for Bradford, i really hope we bring in two SL standard/NRL halfbacks, maybe even just bring one in and keep either mellor/I'anson. Mellor looks promising to me it just depends how highly they rate him at Wigan. I hope Penny gets another shot at SL with us also. |

I think Coyle could be an excellent option off the bench next year. IF we were to sign Clarke, I think we'd have a really useful combination. Haggerty could be a top forward, happy with that. Not so sure about Allen.

| Quote: widneslardboy "It isnt a myth though is it ? They will improve as players in the full time environment. It is plain and simple to understand if you follow logic.
Full time training will reap benefits for all of those who are currently part timers.
Whether that means they can step up to SL level consistently remains to be seen, however I think some of them, Coyle in particular for this years efforts deserve the shot.
Some will be a success and thrive and others wont make the grade and end up back in part time rugby. I dont see the major issue here in giving some of our own players a chance to better themselves and trying to develop some continuity in the squad.'"
Full time training doesn't automatically make you a top flight player but you can't be a top flight player without it. |

Really? I've seem him slice through plenty of champ defaces and also created a lot of tries from in and around the ruck area. |

I often think we look much better when he goes off. Slow, formulaic, I am gutted we're going with him.
Hope I'm proved wrong, but he isn't super league quality for me. No where near. I think we can do better in the championship let alone super league.

Now The Wire.

Cull was after Mark Bryant I think before Rauhihi extended at Warrington. He would be a great option for you guys.

| I would do anything for us to sign Witt. I would even eat some lobby with sacrilegeous beetroot in it and then use some as lubrication during the banging of a girl from Featherstone. of course i would then have to shower in bleach before launching myself into the sun..........on a giant nuclear weapon.
but sometimes sacrifices have to be made for the greater good of the viking horde  |
