Quote: Dave K. "Stanley, Simms, Lussick, Mccrone, O Brien and Russel are all very good players, all of those have had very good careers in either SL or the NRL, are most are at a good age and would look good in SL.
I think they are a big threat to any SL clubs who are in the middle 8's.
I think you will be OK, as I think Widnes are the ones who will drop out, Salford might also join them, but they have some good players if they start to play, just in poor form at the moment, still looked strong in spellls against us.
Think Rovers will be Ok if they get Mcguire and Lunt playing.
Tompkins is Ok, nothing special any more and I'd be more worried about his playing ability than off field matters, but he has to be an improvement on Chris Clarkson.'"

Simms o brien and Russel are average at best and I don’t buy into just because they have NRL experience they are automatically good Kris Keating played in a grand final and Dane Tilse played well over a 100 first grade games
