I'm on the fence with PJ. If he stays, fine, although I'd like to see him in the second row, with him backing up as a utility centre. (Not wing). If he left, I wouldn't be fussed either. He's excellent out of acting half, and takes alot of the pressure of the forwards, I just don't rate him on the wing. I actually think, error wise, he's been our poorest player in recent weeks.

Quote ="The Casual Des"Meanwhile, there's some speculation that Warriors are interested in bringing Paul Johnson back to Wigan. The Great Britain second row played 108 games for the club before leaving for Bradford in 2004, and he has been at Warrington for the last two years. Warriors have already raided Warrington this season to sign GB centre Martin Gleeson. www.wigantoday.net/warriors/Nobl ... jp#4007088 This would be wonderful news if we could offload Johnson to the Pie Eaters as well.'" Agree there, jack of all trades master of none. We have better wingers than PJ, better centres, and better second rowers. I bet he's on a decent salary as well, that could be better spent elsewhere.

Let him go

and if we got money for him

Why ? He's off contract.

Injury prone. Decent player but is history is poor.

No, you said "We'll get money for him", I was saying, Why, he's off contract.

Let him go he will be 31 in November when his contract is up.

Good, wouldn't really want to sign Vainikolo at this stage in his career.

So a RU winger that used to play League, I'm thinking David Strettle might have played the game at amateur level.

Its Brian 'do ya want ya drive tarmac'in' Carney, or so im told

So we get rid of a sicknote and buy an inpatient ?
No sense whatsoever

Dont shoot me cockles, I didn't say I was exactly enthused by it.

He's nearly 33 as well, please don't tell me this is who we are signing.

Sorry chief but i think we'd get more out of Reardon than BC, which strangly enough is how his bones are measured timewise

I Heard brian Carney on a pay as you play deal, is he doing out at the min would he be fit enough.

No, this is who Tache and Eddie think were signing, there's a difference fella.

he got goosed by Gilmour on the outside for a saints try.
he got goosed by the Cas winger on the outside for a try(and right in front of us, it was very poor)... He knocked on in the huddersfield game and they scored from it...

oh aye thats consistant...

he's a weak link for me

No i didn't, read again.

Agreed

Ive always viewed Paul Johnson as a poor mans Lee Gilmore, he seems to be a jack of all trades and master of none. He`s been living off that hatrick he scored for GB against the kiwis for a fair while now and nobody has seen the same sort of form since, he is no spring chicken these days and still gets these niggling injuries.

Anthony Watmough would do for me as a replacement for Paul Johnson as i would have let Louis Anderson go as well as we have no real ball playing 2nd rowers in this squad that hit the line like Mark Roberts used to do.

......if only

You can pick any player in the league and find mistakes they made. Why not highlight some of the good things he's done or would that be detrimental to your arguement.

Would our new signing not have to get out of bed to go to Church on a Sunday morning?

Because they are Wire supporters and only view the negatives.

its not David Strettle he played at lymm rugby club with me and he is commited to quins and getting back in england set up

If he's arguing somebody's not good enough, he's not going to list all of the positives, is he?

You insinuated (wrongly) that we'd get a fee for him.

I quite like the idea of Carney playing for us. He was very good at Wigan and the Newcastle. So providing he is fit then why not.
