If that's a swap deal, we may as well bend over while we're at it

Indeed.

I'd be willing to let Saints have Ratchford and Sidlow in return for a promise that they WON'T give us Fozzard!?!

Richie Mathers seems to be out of contract at the end of the season. Would he be a good asset?

As a door wedge yes. As a full back no.

As a scapegoat, he'd be a good signing. We seem to be lacking one this season.

Paul Sykes anyone? Out of contract at Bradford and can cover a number of roles. A bit of a hit and miss player, but maybe worth a shot next season?

I would say this is the best backline we've seen at the club for the last 10 years or so, but with Talau leaving at the end of the season, who do you think will come in and replace him? Gibson looks a classy player, could he come inside and do a job? The policy of snapping up Leeds players seems to be working for us, wonder if they've got anyone else for us? Lol

I think we should move Henry to left centre next year as he seems alot more effective. With possibly Sykes as right centre. He may not be liked but I think Mathers would be an ok signing too

I would rather have Mathers over Sykes any day of the week.
Judging by some of the things coming out of Simms since the Holdsworth re-signing there would appear to be better players coming in else he wouldn't have stayed. Interesting end of season and pre-season to come Id suggest.

Ratu?? whenever i've seen him he looks like a real handfull, maybe moved on by now though.

How about Demetriou (sp), being released by Wakey

He's 34!!!!!!! & as some Wakey fans are saying "a season too long in S/L" so a massive no from me.

ditto

How about this fella? menmedia.co.uk/manchesterevening ... ds?rss=yes err yes please!

[i Andy Coley, Stuart Fielden and Iafeta Paleaaesina are all coming out of contract at Wigan Warriors

I wonder if the Reds will make a bid for any of the above forwards for next season ?

Interested in a top NRL full back apparantly. Cant imagine it being qouta so could possibly be Gareth Widdop. Also interested in Matt Blaymire and Ali Lau'ititi

I've read on another forum that Karl Pryce [imay[/i be heading our way.

Wouldn't mind Fielden or Lauititi on a 1 year deal, can't see it happening though. With us linked with Blaymire and a "top NRL fullback" I see Fitzy on his way out, I wouldn't have Pryce though don't think he'd fit in with us.

Think Feilden is still a quality prop who would benefit from being a big name at the Willows, but as I said previously i'd like to see him being used as he was at Bradford initially when he regularly played 60 or 70 minutes a game.
Think Lauititi would be an amazing purchase as for me he is the best off loader of the ball in SL bar none, all we'd need is someone perminantly hanging off his shoulder and he'd be the creative spark in the forwards that we currently don't have.

Pryce i'd be wary off as I always get the impression he punches well below his weight, he is a massive centre but never seems to match the size with the correct agression.

I'm failing to see how if the Ryan Cross thing works out how we could be after a top NRL fullback, unless as someone else has mooted that were after Widdop from Melbourne would be a serious statement of intent if we got him but I doubt we have the pulling power needed.

Interesting times though.

Would love that signing

Me also, i think the next couple of months will be massive for us in playing signing wise, could of amazing, but it could end up disappointing.

The name Gower springs to mind!!!! And I mean the one we didn't get!
