Good, we should stay well clear of any overseas players on their last legs.

You have heard wrong then

A couple of weeks ago he was in contact with Terry Matterson at cas - Probably nothing whatsoever to do with a deal or anything - So i asked my source in australia who would know - And he said Locky was hoping to play a big part in the world cup and is going to see out the last year of his contract in the NRL

I've heard that we're talking to Chris Thorman about him joining us next year.

Not top class but better than Rooney and a decent Harris replacement if it comes off.

He's decent.. but I want to hear about centre's and wingers first!! Surely we cannot be looking at Nero and Tupou as one of our starting partnerships for next year?

Please God NO. I'd rather keep Harris.

Give Tupou a decent centre next year and actualey play to his strengths and he'll go very well. People need to realise he's not the same type of player as Lesley.

I rate him as better than Iestyn. He'd do a job and if it freed up cash to spend on some class for the threequarters it'd be a good move.

So long as we play him outside someone decent rather than Sykes or Nero!

TBH i don't see the need to replace Harris. Any money available needs to be spent on 2 wingers and centres.

Can you see Harris re-signing for less than a quarter of his current salary with offers on the table from Hudders and Celtic Crusaders?

Exactly Tupou was made a scapegoat for a lot of Sykes problems. As for Nero he needs to work out what his best position is and sticking too it.

I don't mean that I mean that if Harris leaves we don't have to rush out and sign a replacement.

Nero should stick to the back row IMO. He has zero flair and the backs have enough honest plodders.

But from people I know at Huddersfield he considers himself a centre who has to play in the back row from time to time.

Well he's deluded if he thinks he's a centre!

Can we go into a season with Jeffries and Deacon as halfbacks? I don't fancy having to rely on Menzies and Morrison to fill in? Deacon's hamstrings are becoming a bit of a concern and Jeffries needs the threat of losing his place hanging over him to improve his consistency and effort.

I'm not convinced on that one I'm afraid. If Tupou thought he could cut it on the wing... why try mould himself into a new position in the pack? He seems to pick up his fair share of injuries also.. if we get the opportunity to release him.. we should in my opinion.

Only if we could get a decent replacement.

Are there any ex-Wakey players available?

I think we have all the ones still playing..

Most teams only have the 2 recognised one then use academy player's why don't we try it for a change.

Anyone up to it?

Because his confidence was shot after the poor way McNamara handled the whole episode.

Kieran Hyde and Keal Carlile will both be 19 during next season how long do you wait to give them ago.

We'll see.. but whilst I hope he can turn his career around at Bradford I currently see him as more of a passenger than a vital piece of the jigsaw.

Most teams have players elsewhere in the first team that can fill in at halfback, as well as the youngsters.

Looks like i may have been right.
