O.k you're Mr hethrington, you've got cash and room on the cap for 1 player only who would you sign?

Gareth Ellis

who is Mr hethrington in charge of?

Good call

S
B
W
.

Or me.

On your wages??? Pfft!

James Graham to beef up the pack

If I were Mr Hetherington I'd tell the Head Coach: "This is how much room we have, tell me who you would like me to sign based on the current strengths and weaknesses of both the current squad and the players available."

Sorry if that sounds boring and all.

Look man, what you pay for is what you get and with me you get the full package, I'm more entertaining than Sky Plus.

Seconded

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?
