He did just before he got injured.

He returned from injury today and was class again. Possible Dally M winner and will never play in SL I don't think.

Good to hear.

I want to see him replicate it for England, has been a bit of a let down on that stage up to now.

You are probably right, there again in the twilight of his career he may pick up some easy money at warrington.
Ps
As a special favour could you please sell us George Williams, thanks in anticipation

I'd rather have Kenneth Williams

I hope nobody was seriously suggesting Daniel Mortimer. Definition of below average who continues to get chances because of his name.

Any HBs in the NRL you'd like us to sign? Who we might have a chance of getting obviously

I note Jordan turner is back in the U.K . Might be worth a gamble and sign him. Just a thought.

Signed for Huddersfield

Correct, I thought he was on a contract until the season end. Apparently it's a three and half year contract. At various times for saints he looked good. Never witnessed his performances in Australia so can't comment. Obviously it can't have worked out otherwise he would not be back in the U.K.

I don't think he played a single minute in Oz.

May be wrong though

Turner might have played in the 9's can't say I've seen him in first grade.

Mortimer is a decent interchange 9, can't say I've seen him in the halves for a long time.

I can't really think of any who might be available who fit our needs.

I really rate Cameron Cullen who is at Manly, but he's more of a runner who would play the role similar to what Moon is currently doing for us.

I think I read on another forum that to sign Jordan Turner to a 3 and half year deal they offered him a pretty handsome wage. Whilst he's a decent player and can play a few positions, he ain't big money worthy.

Seem to remember I was never convinced by him when his side was under pressure. Irrelevant now in any case.

Definately well avoided then, considering no coach seems to have ever been able to work out his best position.

Mamo's return to fitness seems to me what's galvanised the Giants & saved Stones' skin.

There really aren't many outstanding halfbacks in the NRL full stop. Any really good ones have no shortage of bidders in the NRL, and would be on way more than SL could afford. Widdopp may have been talking to Leeds, but his form this year would mean he'd be way out of our league now.

If you're going to the NRL you'll most likely get a plodder or someone with massive gaps in their game. If we were to go there I'd be tempted to go for someone like Tyrone Roberts (if he's available). He's got speed and a kicking game, if not the best playmaker. Alternatively I'd go completely the other way and look at someone like Hodkinson who is an organiser and not much else. Mind you, I'ver heard it said that his knees are gone.

The pickings are slim, and it also depends on who they're partnered with. Hodkinson could work with Moon but not Lilley, Roberts with Lilley but not Moon.

The risk is not just on missing out but on signing the wrong player who we're then stuck with for 3 years or more.

I think the time has come for Leeds to pay a transfer fee and poach a top half back from this competition. I've not the foggiest who they'd have the best chance of getting but we need a new Jamie Peacock moment as that signing was a game changer. I think we've no chance of getting anyone decent from the NRL, the salary cap difference is too great so we need to look in this country... admittedly we would over pay but we need to make a significant move.

Remember you got Peacock at the end of his Bradford deal. No transfer fee. When was the last sizeable transfer fee that Leeds paid? Iestyn?

Mortimer is available, cheap, 27, utility and has won a title with the Roosters.

ellis?

Moon probably.

www.independent.co.uk/sport/gene ... 26492.html Probably this. I expect Ellis cost more than Moon. That was 13 years ago. Would Hetherington really splash the cash with Headingley needing all that money spending on it?

Not sure. His interest in Sam Burgess appeared genuine though to be honest I think it'd need to be a truly exceptional signing for him to splash cash in a big way. I don't see anyone of the required calibre on the radar tbh.

If we were to spend some decent money on a SL player who would you like it to be?

Luke Gale?
