any thoughts on potential signings for next season, which areas of the team would u strengthen?

In my opinion we need a top class full-back....

Also Kevin Brown [Huddersfield Giants and Chris Thorman [Hul FC
could be targets for the Reds

i hope not thormans shocking,not sure about brown where would he play ? ithink we could do with a hooker a top winger 2 realy good props and another second rower oh and a good scrum half for when myler goes

my team for next season;
1 billy slater
2 mark henry
3 daryl goulding
4 willie talau
5 israel folau
6 stefan ratchford
7 rob burrow
8 ray cashmere
9 robbie fahrah
10 mcarthy scarsbrook
11 luke adamson
12 anthony whatmough
13 luke swain

14 sidlow
15 jewitt
16 alker
17 paleasena

Wot no Jeremy Smith??

he's the waterboy!!

You'd take Feka, over the likes of Graham, Morley or Peacock. Don't see what is so good about the bloke, he's fat therefore he an bust through tackles and gain a few metres, apart from that he can't do nothing else, i mean he struggles to run.

didnt think we'd av enough money left on the salary cap!!

and i was still half cut when i did it

Thorman is shocking. Would be a bad move imo. Too many bad days and not enough good ones.

Brown is also inconsistent. He can be quite good when focused but just isn't most of the time...

I agree. I wouldnt be too fussed on signing either of these players. Also, providing Myler stays, I dont think an half back should be our priority.

i think we should do what ever it takes to sign goulding he as been magnificent since he joined on loan runs a perfect line ever time for a centre..

lets try and get robo back him and ratchford could destroy opposition with a decent pack

i wouldn't want robbo back tbh after he was photographed in a shudds shirt whilst still playing for us in a relegation battle!

I think we should be leaving the SL old boys and NRL has been players alone and get more Goulding's. The sort of young quality player that is not getting in to leeds, Saints, Wigan etc. but would walk into our team. Some will stay and we can build around them and others will move on to bigger and better things, but with a big price tag attached. Win win!

Saying all that I have no idea who these players would be!

Priorities are all in the backs for me. We badly need a Centre, Wing and Full Back.

This is what I have been saying for years. A lot of these good quality players are paid very little at the big clubs as they spend a good chunk of their cap money on 'star' names. Many are also disatisfied at their clubs because they are stuck in the reserves, whether they deserve to be or not is often debatable. We should be trying to entice these players instead of wasting money on poor overseas, and English for that matter, has beens.

But if you go after youngsters currently under contract elsewhere then you're hit with transfer fees - the NRL option is probably a lower cost one, partly also because of the rate of the UK £ to the AU $

Ben Jefferies [Bradford Bulls is another player now being linked with a possible move to the Willows next season, acording to today's Manchester Evening News...

i was watching a superleague game from our sky planner and in the commentary they said that jonathan thurstern( sorry about the spelling lol) was availible at the end of the season you never no

We need to sign in all positions if we need to progress, either to strengthen or to replace players leaving

We need a FB with fitzpatrick probably leaving us at the end of the season, Tony possible leaving Hull maybe the answer, Wakefield have Grix, Blaymire both FB's cant see them being happy so maybe one of them will be available, with palfrey providing back up

Of our squad Wilshere, Henry, McGilvery and White will all be fit and can cover the wing, Maybe Ainscough will be available on loan from wigan? And with Riley at warrington will probably be available

Centre's, I think we would all be happy re-signing Goulding, Ashley Gibson is OOC at leeds and both can cover Wing, Of our squad wilshere, henry talau can cover, I think paul johnson is OOC maybe worth a look can cover a few positions

Our HB are covered but if myler leaves which is looking increasing likely, Rooney, Jefferies both looking likely to leave their clus

Also seem like Paul will be leaving / retiring at the end of the season, Godwin, Lee would be good replacements both young and have good distribution out of DH, or Moore as cunnigham has been signed up for another season at Saints, interchanging with alker, although i have heard a whisper that, Naylor will be leaving at the end of the season with alker being made assistant, adamson would be appointed captain

Our pack each week never seems to be on top so one or two props would be needed with Stapleton and Leuluai leaving, although would like stapleton to re-sign, Sam thompson has been mentioned would prefer kavanagh from widnes out of the two, O'Carroll from wigan never seems to get a look in, we have also been linked with fielden and korkidas again. If we are to progress i would look at Thackray from hull OOC at the end of the season

With Sidlow, Adamson and Parker, Mossop being mentioned, Tickle leaving hull also Gilmour maybe leaving saints we need this type of player to progress as a team instead of just mediocre OOC that are not good enough for them

As for LF swain seems to have made that position his own also alker can cover, Danny washbrook could be available

throw in a few youngsters and we have a squad that will progress

Good post

dyer on the wing

Ben Jeffries?

Why are we constantly linked with turd players?

Actually, don't answer that...

I wouldnt say he was turd. I would definately have him before Smith.
