Rumoured to be the `other' forward we are looking at from Wigan.

Thoughts......?

Will do for me as long as he isnt quota, imo we still need 5 more new players next season

Is it possible that we will have too many forwards next year?

Can also play centre.

He played their for Australia a few years back, would play him there with Henry left centre

and Chis Nero?? Where??

Would prefer Nero at second row, really dont rate him as a centre and he never passes

He also front's Earth Wind & Fire , so that's the Half Time Entertainment sorted too..

Maybe Nero as a back up centre? Highly doubt it though to be honest, maybe we could see a few more players on the way than we expected?

neither does bailey

IMO Not good enough - better centres in Coop Champ and a lot cheaper - and who can pass to their winger.

Surely this will put an end to any Big name foreward from Oz coming over as Bailey would be on Quota! (Unless of course any signing was Kolpak)

your all wrong its stuart fielden ,wigan offered him a one year contract at half what he is on now salford have offered a two year deal more money

Now that's someone I'd like to see us sign. Unforuneately, I really don't see it happening, but it doesn't stop me dreaming and I actually believe he'd be the best signing we've made for next season. That's taking into consideration he's not the force he once was and that we've signed Pattern. Think of the of the front row combinations. Jewitt and Fielden smash them in defence and then we throw Feka and Cashmere at them. Plus Fielden does make big yards.

Back down to earth though!!!!!!!

As for Bailey I'd say he would be a good signing, if we hadn't already signed Nero. I worry we'll just forget about all the young players we've been developing. Neal, Sidlow, Jewitt, Adamson, Gibson, Stef and Broughton are the future of our club, and it would be a damn shame not to see them with us for a long time to come.

What if we took all three. Fielden, Feka and Phil.

fielden is happening mark my words

I really do hope so!!!! Buy you a pint if it does.

look forward to it

Have we established who `judas' is yet?

On the subject of Bailey......not sure myself - I've never thought he's stood out in his time over here. If we do though, I hope its as cover in the forwards not at first choice centre.

Another point to ponder though is that given who we have actually signed (as apposed to rumoured) we have signed 4 overseas players which could take us up to 8 or 9 overseas (when the squad is finalised) players in the first choice 17........Mmmmmmm..

I'd rather we didn't sign another centre turned second row, but if he's still got the speed I'd have him in the centres. Admittedly I haven't seen him play for a while. This does worry me that maybe Mark Henry's injury is worse than we're being told.

Spoke to Mark Henry at the game yesterday, said his hamstring was sore, so wouldnt be playing for the remaining games & he needed some surgery on his hand in the off season, so he has had that done now so he will be sorted for pre season training, so no bigger problem than reported.

I will run round the willows in a pink bikini with fire coming out of my a rse if we sign Fielden

No to Fielden.

Stewie would be chasing you from what I gather, though you'd have tp be quiet as he's light on his loafers
