And is one of the better half backs available at the moment... if we go for another marquee NRL half (which I hope we do) we could do worse than Mellor alongside him. The options aren’t exactly abundant at the moment. I wasn’t a massive Kevin Brown fan before he this season but what I’d give to have a younger Brown here for the next two years... and I never thought I’d sa that in 2017.

What about Luke Gale then...what about Kevin Penny too? The top clubs didn't knock on his door so you could have said Swinton was a gauge of where he was, till he came back to be a successful SL winger with us.

That will be two pounds please.

Me thinks SC has found a gap in the market.

Plus according to the rules it’s a pound for saying Luke Gale, but doesn’t state how many times he can be mentioned.

Luke Gale Luke Gale Luke Gale...

... I earned 3 quid and got tired of cutting and pasting.

Shouldn't that be £1:01?
One Gale and a Penny,

Here’s a good poser for you, if not a little off-topic...

If total cost of Luke Gale and Kevin Penny together is £1.10, and Luke Gale costs £1 more than Kevin Penny, how much is Kevin Penny...?

Clue: The answer is not £0.10.

£0.05

Spoilsport. You are obviously an analytical thinker rather than an intuitive one

I'd be shocked if we weren't interested in Jackson Hastings who's just been released by Manly.

First thing is why has he been released?

Fell out with Barrett.

Really exciting young half back though, only 22.

bit of a prick isn't he by all accounts? fell out with the rest of the squad and cherry-Evans

ah well, this is interesting. helps if i post the link https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/antho ... e09bbe0fe9 www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... maker.html

Or Des Hasler... need someone with a bit of honesty and integrity (to quote Paul Cullen) and Price fits the bill there.

Let’s try Hastings, if he goes after a year so be it. He’ll be trying to earn a contract in the NRL so should at least put the effort in.

Like Roberts you mean?

Exactly like Roberts.

He's the sort of player we should be going for.

Had Roberts been a class act for us, and "done his job" ala Hiku, then left back to Aus "homesick" or whatever, I'm sure he would no doubt go back to NRL with our blessing.

As he's not set the world alight, our view is a little different now he wants out.

But that's a risk with any signing - old or young, from here or overseas.

He's not lived up to expectations, but that shouldn't put us off going for similar again. We should be setting our sights on exactly that sort of player.

Possibly someone younger, who doesn't have the family/kids who need to settle. Leeds' signing of Matt Parcell comes to mind.

Start scouting for kiwi half-backs.

Kiwis are generally tougher, much better value for money, don't turn up at Manchester airport with a surf board under one arm asking which is the best beach in Warrington and don't throw Maria Carey style diva tantrums if it rains.

Well, case in point, bmm and sita went to france this past week when they were off with dec patton, goodwin is on holiday every chance he can get, they're making the most of their situation and enjoying it, maybe if tyrone had gone with them, it'd have brightened up his life a bit.

I don't think we are likely to offer Maria Carey a contract ... she has lost that bit of zip recently. Have you seen her?

I thought that was by The Chi-Lights?!

Oh, I see her face everywhere I go
On the street and even at the picture show

Had you down as more of an MC Hammer version, myself, duckie
