Like I said, not seen much of Feeney, Pythian was good when I saw him last year, I don't think he played in the halves but I remember the commentator saying he had played there. Cogger was decent. I agree Lamb is the best of that group.

If I was signing a half from the Knights, I'd look at Hodkinson, gets a lot of the same stick Widdop previously has got, but also imo can do everything we are missing. Dont know how viable it is in terms of contract and willingness to come over though.

Told you weeks ago. Good signing for Leeds.

That's one. Just need another now.

I understand the reservations about Myler, but I think its as much about signalling that the time has come for a change in direction as signing him as a player.

We don't have halfbacks of the required quality for next year, but can we afford to wait for one or more of our untried players to make the grade? If they were given a go and didn't make the grade, that would be a third year in a row of 'transition' and a lot of us would be up in arms about why changes hadn't been made. At least signing Myler suggests GH has a sense of urgency about the need to shake things up.

Whilst the Sinfield era was marked by a huge amount of stability across the squad, it was also marked by several major signings along the way. In recent years the stability has remained but we've stopped signing anyone of note. IMO if we didn't start to look externally to fill key positions now, we may end up having to replace large numbers of players en masse, which historically has generally been a disaster.

Correct, however, it remains to be seen if we can buck the recent trend of signing expensive gash from Aus.

Surely we must have a decent scouting network in the UK to spot some of the rough diamonds that have appeared in SL (Walmsley, McMeeken, Hill) or is it that we just wont shell out the £££?

What's happened to your under 21's you are classed as having one of the best in SL. Nobody coming threw?
