I'd agree with that 100%. Likewise I don't think Briggs would have moved to be a back-up.

We dont need any cover at LF. Langley is an outstanding backrower. Sutton is a good player I agree, but not top class.

If he is good enough, he'll be in the team.

I see no reason why we shouldn't look to further strengthen the squad though.

Agreed langley is an outstanding backrower. but a creative loose forward he isnt. Thats why he's been used in the 2nd row,where he's more effective, for most matches for a few years now. We've had burgess,morrison and beaver playing at loose for last few seasons. A creative loose forward would give us another attacking option which is never a bad thing.

Langley would continue to be an outstanding player for us at second row or Prop. I personally prefer a 13 to be a creative player as well as a grafter.

creative 13's seem to be a position thats gone out of favour a little last few years. can only really think of sinfield as an example since sculthorpe retired.

I actually thought Langley had an extra dimension to him last week against Halifax. Obviously not to the level of a Sinfield or O'Loughlin, but he was certainly looking to move the ball on and look for options, rather than just carry it. I think he's been used as a 3rd prop over the last few years, which is a waste IMO, we should be looking to use him as an option.

Add Greg Bird, Sean O'Loughlin, Westerman to that list maybe? Perhaps it is a lack of quality 13's available rather than it being out of favour?

Ball hangling LF's are a thing of the past. Gimme a grafter anyday of the week. Langley is the best LF at the club and nobody is taking that jersey from him this year or next.

I don't doubt that Langley has some ball skills that we haven't seen too much of in recent years. But being able to shift the ball a bit isn't really the same as being creative. I like to see a 13 who can kick or put a player into some space. Just my thoughts though, I'm certainly not unhappy to have Langers there.

Sutton is top class. Unfortunately no chance Souths would release there number 6. We ain't guna get him.

Not a rumour, but what are peoples thoughts on making a bid for millard at wakey. they are desperate for cash and he looked to have a killer touch we may be lacking

My source says different in terms of souths not releasing..

we were linked with him before they signed him. as such I kept an eye on him whenever wakey were on sky last year and can't say I was too impressed. Think theres other areas of squad we could use a quota spot on to better effect.

All our centres are better than Millard IMO. We dont need him.

press reports i've read suggest souths are looking at SBW for after RU world cup, so back end of RL season at best. if thats true why would souths look to offload sutton any earlier?. hope your source is correct as sutton would be a good addition for us imo.

I remember a highlights clip on youtube in which Millard looked a real classy player. He looked fairly ordinary in the games I saw last year though.

Maybe the way the maths works out means they need to offload Suttons whole annual salary to get Sonny for a couple of months?

possibly, but only works if they have another 6 ready to step up and fill suttons spot.

Maybe a gentlemen's agreement for us releasing Burgess? Do they have some young stars who are due an upgrade soon? Could be a few reasons I guess.

They've just signed a moderately decent one...?

I don't know anything about the time lines..

You referring to Inglis?

I read they were planning to utilise him at centre, which is probably his best position. He'd do a decent job at 6 though I guess...

I was. I'm sure at one stage he went a bit Leon and was demanding to play 6 if he was to stay in league. He also played there for the Storm quite a bit and, again like Leon, is pretty decent there.

If he's planned for centre he'd still make a decent outside half backup...

Langers has always had the ability to beat a man, in fact he did it more consistently when he was a youngster than he seems to do now. At the moment though he is our best bet, but he will be under pressure from such as Donno and Addy, and of course, competition for places is just what we want.
