| Who knows? Maybe he isn't getting the support he got at the Bulls? Maybe the coach isn't too impressed with his 'free spirit' and the off the cuff stuff. Could be any number of reasons why a player prefers one set of circumstances over another.

| Not quite sure what all the hype about this guy is. He had a couple of good games against mediocre, part time opposition. I would be more excited if we signed brambani. A consistent good player who has the experience to get our young lads round the paddock. We are fighting relegation in the championship and jism is the kind of player who will make the mistakes which will cost us games.

Expect to see him sign for Toronto any day then

| I would rather we had too many creative pivots than too few, as we're only a couple of injuries and recalls away from being in worse dire straits than last year. I mean, without Addy who the hell are we going to shoehorn there?

| Dane Chisholm in my own opinion could have certainly won us two games which we have lost, make your own minds up which games I'm talking about, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have cost us any thus far too

I reckon we would have to offer Brambani a whole heap more than Chisholm to make him go full time

I agree, the main reason he left Sheffield was because they were going full-time wasn't it?

| I think I am missing something with Chisholm, in 40 years of watching RL I can tell you straight away that there is not a chance in hell that he would make it in SL, Im not even sure he is a top end championship player. A couple of good performances against teams when it really does not matter are not going to fool anyone(well it has but hey ho).

He's certainly not Harry Sijeka and we need players big time, there's always a chance Lilley could be gone from one week to the next..
On Brambani, Dom has his own business so there would be no chance we could sign him unless the money was ridiculous.
This is our main problem we are full time and want good full time players, however we aren't offering good full time money.
We are caught between a rock and a hard place as far as that goes..

| Chissy showed what he could do last season, imo and he's a cut above what he have now. With Lilley on loan and therefore always ready to go back to Leeds and Leon's gammy knees, we're always at risk of having no experienced halves again. With Chisholm as a signed player and a couple of strong forwards we'll have a much better chance of avoiding the chop. It does seem as if it will come down to cash though and that's something we have no control over.

| Let's hope Uncle Marwan has a few tips on the Gee-Gees for his mates cha-low
Beggars can't be choosers and with Leon looking more and more like a walking sick note and Lilley on loan we look like we could be exposed. Thomas and Keyes wouldn't necessarily be a bad pairing but I wouldn't like to gamble my house on them.

If we had a real stonking pack, which was rolling back the opposition every week I'd definitely agree Keyes and Thomas would likely go OK, even if they are bit light on experience. Given that isn't the case, we really need someone who can still create things, even, difficult as it is, without having a lot of time or space to do it. This shortage of players up front is killing us right now.

| Players don't have to be SL standard (or even top of Ch level) they just need to be better than you already have.

Or just of similar standard if you're looking at squad building as we are.

My point was regarding the type of half back we should be looking out for. We don't need another flashy pants half back who gives 1 good performance in every 6, we need someone who is going to release the back line we already have. The likes of Oakes, Ryan, Thomas, Caro (minus the cakes) can find their way to the line. They just need quality ball from a traditional half back, controlling the game.

I think we already have that. Keyes, Pryce and Lilley get the ball out reasonably well. Oakes and Ryan already have 13 tries between them. The problem in the champipnship is that some of these pitches are extremely narrow so it's damn hard to get the ball out. I'm not sure what you were watching but Chisholm had more than one good game in 6. I thought he was superb for us. Plenty of Bulldogs and KR fans think well of him. I'd have him back in a heartbeat.

Think that's right, to be fair.
The big issue is that we go back to what was said back down the thread; Leon's knees are going to need careful management and Lilley is on loan, and therefore liable to be called back after another couple of weeks. This is an ongoing problem, along with the lack of any depth in the forwards, and needs addressing soon if we're to entertain hopes of survival in this league.
