“Everything’s going well. It’s that consistency off the pitch that’s going to help with consistency on the pitch."

Thats a good point he came out with, which is very true. The 'will he won't he' saga certainly makes good paper talk. Whatever happens, in smith we trust.

I was thinking that a few minutes ago. It would still leave us lacking a 3rd quality halfback though. Especially if Bridge is going to play in the centres.

FWIW I dont think we need both Orford and Myler. One would suffice and personally Id take Myler.

Stand off is the problem position, Briers needs to move on imo but who will replace him?

Monas will go back to the NRL, that im pretty sure of.

I'm not sure it's all one way, he sounds quite purposeful in that interview.

What do you mean?

That he may see a future here after all?

or that he may have been told we no longer require his services after this year?

It would leave us lacking a stand-off. The other two are scrum halves.

I think, especially with Tony on board now and our recent displays. He could, or it could just be for show, but it seems genuine.

Bridge? If monas keeps playin well though i would wanna keep hold of him

Bridge seems to be destined for the centres

Best game so far last week in centres

maybe if monas knows briers is leaving it may make the situation a bit more tolerable for him.

i wouldn't be adverse to keeping monas and getting myler but who would play stand off?

Mathers?

I don't know why we take the comments at face value. Monaghan might well be here again next season.

For goodness sake, no he doesn't.

Thats my opinion JWP, like it or loathe it i wont change my mind.

Who would you have replace him?

McGuire from leeds?

I'm almost certain that would involve something near a world record fee.

id prefer him over sinfield or burrows.

if we are gonna splash the cash lets get McGuire and Myler.

If only it was that simple

who would you have at s/h cockers?

Scrum half?

Right now, Orford. Maybe with Myler as back up. I have no qualms with Briers staying on at stand off. We're seeing a revitalised Briers and we're winning games because of it.

sorry i meant stand off



i get the impression briers form has been sparked by the fact that he needs a new contract from somewhere.

i fear that if we gave him a new one he would go back to his comfort zone and start playing within himself again.

I don't think we have a coach who would let him get away with that anymore.

McGuire would be a great signing, but you could get Dobson for less and he'd do just as good a job

is dobson a stand off or half back, i always thought he was the latter.
