It's not a controlling standoff type half we need, we've got enough of them...it's a running attacking back like Sandow...love him hate him...we were pants without him and we haven't replaced him.

There are only 3 players in the whole squad not afraid to run at thr line. Currie and he's out. Clark and he doesn't play 80mins and Atkins who can't pass.
Therein lies an issue....no attacking playmaker throughout our team since Sandow left.

We spend nearly all the game defending...well let me tell you this...the biggest kidding yourself in rl is defence wins games....it wins shat....attack attack attack
The best defence is attack....look at Cas and with Wire in 2011... hardly any tackles made per game.

I'm with you on this Rubber. If you score a try you get the ball back or if you almost score the opposition gets the ball near their own line. Our attack has been a real problem.

Plodkinson's knees are knackered. He wasn't exactly lightning before now either. Steer clear.

Well I'll go further...if you can't score by the fifth tackle, you complete and force a drop out...and attack again and again.

I am sure he will have signed for us by tonight then.

An aggressive defence can be very handy if your team has the firepower to get the ball,providing they can do something with the ball when they get it back.

The more control you have of the ball, the more energy reserve for greater aggressive defence like you pointed out.

yeah because other teams do not defend and Ley us run through their line and theres no point in scoring 5 try if we let 7 in

Defence does win games anyone who thinks it doesn't is crazy if you defend better than the opposition then you have given yourself a platform to win the game on

the fact our attack has been poor this year has not helped but n all fairness our defence has been just as poop

Over-rated tactic that. We never use it at Leigh, and tend to drop the ball early in the tackle count, to avoid the embarrassment of having to kick on the sixth!

Unsure as to why Warrington would wait until the middle 8's to relieve Smith. If they had done it sooner there would have been a chance of making the Super 8's so I can't see us sacking him. Especially after us signing Hiku, Pomeroy and now the rumoured Larroyer. These will be Tony Smith's signings.

Before the season we could only dream of signing Pomeroy and Larroyer. We can't wait.

I'd be happy with Larroyer, I know people are bagging him but he's a decent second rower and played well at Hull KR. The circumstances of his release were shocking and left him clubless. If we did sign him I won't be complaining, and he would cost us next to nothing contract wise so win win.
Halfback wise we've been linked to everyone under the sun, but I would favour Tyrone Roberts out of them all. I agree that hodkinson's knees are goosed and would be a dodgy signing.
We haven't been liked with any props really except Mosoe but we are pretty much linked with every free player at the moment so who Knows.
Be very interesting to see the amount we sign for next year and what the squad will look like.

Gigot
Naiqama
Hiku/Pomeroy
Atkins
Lineham
Roberts/Hodkinson/Reynolds/Brown/Patton/ratchford (all in the halves)
Hill
Clark
Crosby
Currie
Hughes/Larroyer/Benjamin
Westerman

Cooper
Masoe
Dwyer
King
Gerrard etc etc etc

Be a MASSIVE squad with the amount of people we are linked to, so the above could look like absolutely anything

That big signing I heard is not going away. We need so good news too.

Oh here we go again, if your not going to say who, then say nothing at all please.

You have 4 wrongs so far. Will it be a 5th.

When exactly is Eastmond signing then?

I think you are fully of Barba and stringing the club along. Btw the last one I gave was spot on.

Was that Hock or Williams or did I miss one

Has Cooper Cronk got his visa yet?

Nope I wrote the last one

Any hint on the position he plays in?

Has Savellio definitely signed for Brisbane as reported here a week ago https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-pr ... 5105e3adf1

Kyle Eastmond?

Is it George Williams? Oh no he's already signed for us hasn't he?
