Not bad. Would prefer a fit oldfield but he will do a job for us.

I think we need a decent winger in . Would take Carney from Cas but if we were in for him I would have thought they would have tried to get him during the Springer deal. We do have a new first team squad member as a winger... www.catalansdragons.com/en/artic ... s-cardace/ Lets see how he goes for the rest of 2015.

Yaha/Richards/Duport and then maybe Inu will do me fine. Richards doesn't count as a quota player either. We are gonna need that quota to replace Whitehead and Garcia and Dureau (if he goes). I'd go for myler to partner Carney. Resign Louis Anderson so if we can't find another 2nd row he is a decent replacement for Whitehead and he can always play prop if we get a good 2nd row in. So many fringe players in the NRL that would do awesome for us imo. But I assume Margelet and Perez will be there and there abouts next year.

I watched that Sigismeau a couple of times and he looked decent. Good potential but I doubt super league ready yet.

Having seen the last 3 matches I am beginning to despair.Only Henderson,Dureau ,Casty,Anderson and Whitehead of the team that played yesterday are good eough for Superleague.3 of those are definitely leaving and 1 of the other 2 may be. The abysmal showing of Gigot and Inu in wet conditions makes it clear why we lose matches that should be won easily.Training for such matches should involve an endless succession of high wet balls directed at the terrified French backs-Yaha excepted-and sustained passing practice with wet balls.If this situation continues we may end up in the Championship.

A ridiculous post, especially as Henderson and Dureau have probably been the two worst players at the club this season (Dureau in particular has been awful in almost every match).

Hello headhunter.Well I have attended every match in England and several in france.Henderson and Taia have been far and away our best players .the clamour for Pelissier is ridiculous.i cannot recall a single occasion where he has managed to pass the ball to a cooleague after a break.Dureau is not the player of 3 years ago ,but he has worked valinty to overcome the manifest defects of all the backs except of course Carney.We shall have to agree to disagree.I was there on sunday.Were you?

Dureau has had a tough time for sure.

He has shown flashes though, but I doubt he will be here next season and that's a shame. His illness and injury have been career changing as well as life changing.

Compare his as a signing to say, Brent Webb, who had a complete shocker, and Dureau stands up.

Great that we are having this debate though.

Henderson has and is a solid player however he can not change a game like Pellisier can. When Pellisier came on at Warrington he changed the game completely. Hhe is probably the best running hooker in super league atm. He gets 20 mins a game at best and that is just not enough for a player of his calibre. If he leaves then that will be the biggest loss in years.

Dureau was my favourite player in super league a few years ago however (understandably) he is not the player he was. With Carney at his side he is a much better player as he lacks a really good kicking game and his game management is a little poor at times.

We are a fair weather team, we play well in hot dry weather and play poorly in wet conditions. It has always been like that. Salford were just as bad as us in those conditions (it was dreadful).

Gigot has been brilliant the last few months so having a dig at him playing in an unfamiliar position is a little unfair. Inu looks like he is lacking match fitness. Was strong in the first 20 and then went missing a little bit, I believe he will come good towards the end of this season especially with Carney's kicks to him.

For me we need a good half (Myler/Robert Lui/Cornish/Luke Kelly/Sandow/Isaac John), a prop (Willie Mason/George Rose/Tagatese/Hannant) and a second row or two to replace Whitehead(Sika Manu/Dave Taylor/Lagi Setu). I'd also take Millard back if he wanted to come.
