| Quote ="mystic eddie"I don't think that you are following the point correctly. What is quite clear from what Red is suggesting is that Ferres had recommended (and/or put a deal on the table for) the three names mentioned but others within the club turned them down.
RER has often suggested that Ferres is being made the unfortunate (and unfair) scapegoat in halfback-gate.'"
To be fair, by "he", I actually meant whoever was the one who vetoed it. I did read it wrong and assume it meant Ferres, but since I didn't know for sure it was him, I went with the ambigous "he" instead of his name.
If we could have genuinely had Liam Finn before Wakefield got him, I despair at the fact we didn't take him.

Money isn't [ieverything[/i, though it is pretty important to a pro. As I've often said, even for them best of them, it's short life as a professional sportsman so I'll never criticise anyone for maximising what they earn - even when they act strategically to do the maximising!

And the reason he couldn't achieve that at Bradford whilst allegedly earning extra money is?

| It isn't uncommon for Leigh fans to have a disagreement between themselves about a Leigh player, but not normally on the Bradford forum.

Nobody else seems to want to come at play at Bradford.

What has that got to do with two lost Leigh souls arguing on the Bradford board?

"..to come at play at Bradford"..
No, it makes no sense. Maybe you could try again, but in English

Although we haven’t really seen the best of Rangi I don’t think his issues where particularly Leigh related, and sadly he has apparently now retired from the game.

Who knows perhaps it’s all a mystery.

| I don't like it when they say a player can play at 6 or 7. They can usually fill in at hooker, full back and wing too. I really hope they get the right one this time.

I can play 6 or 7. I'm bloody terrible at it, but I CAN play there.
The wording does suggest it's someone whose primary position hasn't been 6 or 7 but has played there before doesn't it?

I’d have been far more confident if Green had said that they currently have a scrum half on the radar and hope to announce something soon.
The utility backs that tend to flit between both half back positions rarely have the organisational qualities of a natural ball playing scrum half, which I believe we are missing. They usually look like a stand-off playing at scrum half and tend to have more of a running game. Obviously an improvement on what we currently have though.

Maybe the environment, the stadium, the facilities, the owner, the manager, you will have to ask him....

Would make some sense. Did quite well by most accounts when filling in recently, and once Dorn, Hampshire, Roberts & Gale are all fit, he won't be getting a sniff at the Jungle.

It does depend on the level this supposed player has done his bit in the halves. In our position, the second division, a solid SL or NRL 'occasional' half coming to the 'back end' would be a decent fit. Not for the future but for right now.

Absolutely. And until we know who it is, it's difficult to praise or criticise it.
After the underwhelming news of Richie Mathers last time an exciting signing was touted, I'm gearing myself up for Ryan McGoldrick.

| Ryan has been a super player, imo, but sadly I think the operative words may be "has been". Thought he'd retired, tbh.

| Well first and foremost we just need to get a scrum half within the squad. Ideally though I'd like to see somebody brought in on a permanent deal who we've actually identified as somebody who can fit into our setup. After all this time waiting I would be a bit disappointed if we signed somebody else's youngster to develop but I guess beggars can't be choosers.
When Ferres talked about a 7 who can also play a few positions I instantly thought of Pita Godinet.

Yeh, so I've seen but only on a 1 year deal and he hasn't made many appearances from what I have read.
