I'd visit Lap Dancing bars, plenty of them!

Shontayne Hape or Chev Walker to boost our lacking centre failings

Are you taking the pi$$?

Ssshh. I told you that in confidence.

And you think what we have at the moment i adequate?? Sundays game proved it isnt. We are well weak in the centres

Your options weren't very good though.

No, Leeds are weak in the right centre. Senior is only hampered by Rob Burrow having to defend somewhere. Senior remains Leeds' go to man, he just needs Leeds to provide an alternative.

Maybe not but they are both good solid centres which we havent got at the moment. We didnt bother making a move on Gleeson and i feel if we dont bolster our centres soon other teams will suss us out just like saints and manley have done with such ease.

Yes i agree Seniorr is playing well this season but hes not getting any younger and we cant just make do we need to boost our centres now and not later

Adequate yes. However the OPs original question with what I would do with the money? Wouldn't be signing a player who doesn't pass to his winger and a player that has hardly proved that he has returned to any sort of form.

In fantasy land I would sign Folau or Inglis.

I'd use the cash to bolster the conrtact of Lee Smith in an effort to retain him, then tie up Kallum Watkins long term. Then I would invest some into our scouting and junior set up.

This thread should really have been "You're Alf Davies, what would you do?"

As above, in Fantasy Rugby, where reality isn't such an annoying intrusion, I'd definitely sign Greg Inglis. I think he would meet most of my criteria as an import of "the right quality" without too much trouble.

Staying British, I'd still take Shenton for the right price. Again, in reality, he's not going to be available at any sensible price and I think there's very little out there that is sufficiently better than what we've got to be worth forking out for. I think we have players with real potential around the place, and I think perhaps now is the time to be bringing them on. Watkins is still very raw, but only game time will change that. Plenty of time for that between now and October. Ditto Gibson, who is still playing his way back to form and fitness. Another process which only playing matches is going to accomplish.

Waving the chequebook is easy, finding something to wave it at is the challenge.

Given the Eastwood situation affecting plans, I wouldn't say no to another forward, again, providing the right one is available. Is Gorden Tallis playing for anyone at the moment?

What term do you have in mind for Watkins?

A 5 year deal generous yet commensurate with his talent, potential and experience. I'd also tell him that it will be re-negotiated in a couple of year's time if he develops as expected.

Have you seen him recently

When is his contract up?

Not since the World Cup. Why, has he let himself slide? I hate when that happens.

Currently the end of 2012.



Who's this, Inglis?

In the stand off stakes think Olsen Filipana and then add a few pounds.

He looked a bit more like his old self last Saturday but still a long way to go.

I'd throw 100,000 at Ian Scott.
















=whiteGareth will now tell us he once had a wee next to Ian Scott and said something laong the lines of good luck in the reserves

What about Shenton from Cas, always liked him when i've seen him play

Richie Spedding.

It was only a matter of time

Hape looked dangerous in spells for Bath last weekend. He still breaks tackles and produced some superb offloads. He's not had a happy time at Bath, but I'm not entirely sure Union clubs have a clue about what they are actually looking for with League centres.

I think he would be worth looking at. He was top quality, that's a good place to start.
