everytime robes has started at hooker, mostly international level, has been much less effective than as an impact player. Bring moore in for kc and move kc to conditioner next year.

Scott Moore has been crap all year, you should really just let us keep him......please

BBC interveiw about his England call up with an important quote at the end
"Your on loan from St.Helens, do you know what will happen there?"
"I'm pretty much going back"

KC
Long
Cayless
Gilmour - ? maybe a one year deal

That is one large Salary cap sum to play with imo.

Soliola
Moore

Two good young players commig in, we should see two more signings imo.

The great thing about it is we have the luxury of some genuinely talented kids coming through in the backs who won't be on a huge amount of coin. I'd be tempted to leave our backline as it is and spend the cap money on two monstrous props.

I agree, the young lads have done a great job, we should use any cap space to improve their contracts and as you say at least 1 and hopefully 2 Props.
If we could get O'Meley and Lynch or similar I would be very happy

Nay lad. We need a strike winger, ideally who is fast as lightning and kicks some serious goals. Our lack of pace in the backs won't be sufficiently rectified by Soliola alone, and sooner or later our lack of a top rank kicker will bite us on the .

Aye, a winger and a prop for me.

We dont need a winger unless either Ade or Meli leave. Which is very unlikely considering they're both under contract.

Eastmond will be our kicker. We need two props imo.

Needing a winger because we haven't got one, and needing a winger because we haven't got a good enough one, are two different things, my friend.

I agree. I dont like Ade, he isent as good as Meli for me.

However a salary cap is in place and having 3 wingers does not work imo. Unless it's a young player who will settle to be 3rd choice.

Money would be better spent elswhere and big Mc knows this imo.

A new winger is a waste of salary cap space. We should go with what we have until Gardner or Meli's contract is up. Unless....we get a work in progress winger in, like we did with Gardner

Doesn't Meli's contract run out at the end of this season?

next season

We should go all out and get Jarryd Hayne. Please!

In-contract players have been known to move clubs if the right deal can be negotiated. We can hope.

If we had no wingers whatsoever I'd still sign a prop.

Fair do's. We need a monster really. Maurie isn't getting younger, and the rest of the pack are not huge. We've occasionally looked like it's hard work getting away from our lines when faced with an enthusiastic defence in big games.

The only English one I'd really want though is Carvell or Burgess, and they're not up for sale. Do we have no big lumps coming up through the youth ranks ?

Yes,
Danny Cooper.

I'm not sure how old he is but he is a BIG lad.

We defo could do with a injection of pace in the backs but also need a big hard prop what makes good yards.

If poss I'd like to see a 2 forwards and a halfback.

I know we got eastmond and wheeler but I'm not so sure they would pair well with pryce.

I wish I was a billionaire. Id buy Hayne and then set up 10000 companies to complicate the paper trail and use these to pay his missus £500k a year

Between 19 and 22 kids tend to put on enormous amounts of bulk during their final growth spurt, so it's entirely possible that one of the academy lads could explode onto the scene next season. I mean, the club seem pretty keen on Frodsham, Emmitt & Yates. Certainly I would not rule them out until 21 at the earliest. A lot depends on the shape of the player. Barring freaks of nature most 18/19 y/o front rowers are tall and kind of lanky. Usually they get bounced around during their first games (think of Frodsham). Then that final growth phase arrives and suddenly they look like Barry Bonds (Scully only hit his aged 23!).

I agree you can't tell if a Prop will fill out until as you say, 23 ish
