Somebody didn't watch the Leeds Hull game last night.

Thorman has gone backwards faster than something else that has also lost loads of talent over a five year period.

No, I didn't see the game last night.

Even so, just as a couple of good performance does not make you a world beater, a couple of poor one does not make you rubbish either.

You can be the best half back in the world, if you are playing behind beaten forwards, then you've no chance.

Do you honestly think we would sign Thorman to replace Long? Really? Do you think we would? Are we Bradford?

IF Long leaves at the end of the season, we will need someone at halfback to help bring Eastmond/Wheeler et al through as they will probably not be ready to make the No 7 shirt their own next year.

IF Smith does not seem up to the task (he may not even be available) and IF we could get Thorman on the cheap and IF he would sign for just one year, then yes, IMO, it would be a decent short-term move.

I'm all for giving the young lads a go, but they need old heads around them and losing Long (and possibly Gidley, Cunningham and Cayless too) would seem them woefully exposed.

I'd be tempted to give lynch a go. He is good hard working prop but not sure if he is good enough to replace JC.

It's shame JC is so injury prone as he was class for us when fit.

If meli was out of contract I'd replace him with tadulala.

No! He is absolutely shocking. I've never rated him highly, but he's gone even lower in my estimation, anyway.

he is just as bad
any way how old is lynch.

Tadulala ain't bad player. Not sure how old lynch is but we gotta get a prop for next year!

29. Something in T&A said that he's nearly put pen to paper though.

Shain Ainscough please.

If Wigan keep getting on the lads back, he might want to move.

Don't believe the hype.

Kevin Penny MkII, without the blistering pace.

Even a desperate Noble can see it.

Something behind the scenes gone wrong with him to be dropped for 3/4 games was it?

Think we have had our spotlight this year with Leon " The Shoulder" Pryce

On the dodgy grounds that Long left and given the lack of decent British scrum halves, the only new scrum half for next year should be Eastmond or a recruit from the NRL.

When the academy has produced some really promising players, I would be disappointed if we looked overseas.

He has just signed for 3yrs at piedome, another promising career comes to a grinding halt

I dont think 29 is old for a front row. Paul Anderson was 31/32? when he joined us and IMO we got his best 2 yrs and DA was convinced he could have done another.
I would go for Lynch if we can.

Thank the lord that Eamonn God is in charge of recruitment. Lynch? Ainscough? Thorman? Do me a favour.

Ainscough is a talent but, if what i am led to believe is correct, he could be Wigan's new Barry Ledger.

Sorry, He's 30, but I agree that's still not too old for a prop. If you look at his stats you can tell that. I just hope he is one of Mac's prioritys to re-sign.

I hope he isnt

I would agree with that. He has great pace and would be a good player on the wing. I have been slated in the past for saying I would rather have him than someone like Fox. With Bradford all over the place they may struggle to resign all their players. None of our back three have great pace so Halley would be a good signing.

The other two players I think would be good signing are the two Matts at Bradford. Matt James has looked very good this season for fax and seems to be a big strong mobile forward. Matt Cook has looked good for the Bulls too but as we have a lot of second rowers another one is probably not needed.

Lynch is a bit of a donkey and rumour is that he may be on his way back to Cas anyway.

I would not consider any of the others.

I wouldn't sign one of them. How depressing for the English game that there is no stand out talents on the market at the end of the year.
