personally i am sick off buyin over paid socalled aussie superstars wat do you think

Well it seems easier said than done.

What good English talent do you recommend?

I know a few (especially on here) are sick of the Aussie's coming over and underperforming, and rightly so, but what British players do we feel could lift us up a few levels?

there's plenty around if you look hard enough - the Giants have got some crackers for the future picked up from national leagues etc

Good first text..I mean post

first on my list attkins from wakey ,british big strong and great player underated

We've got Mathers, Riley, Bridge, Penny, Grix, Cooper, Mitchell, Blythe, Harrison who are all young (ish), English and talented (ish). I'm sure there are one or two in the reserves who will come through and I hope three or four in the academy. Add a couple of signings this year and we'll do what you want. I doubt we'll see four or five overseas signings.

Our three 2009 signings were British.

Again, what is with the common sense approach?

I would like to see if possible
UK ins
Shenton
Atkins
Fox
Hock
Sinfield
Diskin

overseas players ins
Orford
Dobson
Rah another year

Players I would like out
Briers
Monaghan
Penny
Clarke
L & V Anderson
King

What a bloody disgrace it is that kids like Bobby Goulding have been snatched from right under our noses.
We should really employ a talent scout, y'know. Someone should write to the club.

What do you think?

I'm made up that we're now such a force that we can cherry pick the very best players from the likes of Wakey, Cas, and Huddersfield!

Who are above us

For now........twenty rounds or more left in super league this year.

Wish i had your optimism



I'm kidding. Can see us doing better than Wakefield

Eastmond and Westerman.

Both not the finished article, but why not build a team around two players that are likely to be two of the top English players over the next 6-8 years.

I thought we did sign him earlier this season??

Agree, though it could be hard to prise Eastmond away from Saints.

IMO the 2 players we should be targetting are Westerman and Myler. Both play for smaller clubs, and are more likely to sign for us.

In a couple of years Ainscough and Tomkins could be worth a look, if we can beat Huddersfield to their signature.

We prised Briers away from Saints at a similar stage in his career.

What about Paul Sykes as a potential replacement for Gleeson in the centres, can also play fullback wing or even stand-off as he has done for London and Bradford in the past, and is a goal kicker.

No thanks, Sykes has been proved to be distinctly average at the Bulls.

Also me thinks Saints shipped Briers out early as they knew he may be more trouble than a bag of frogs.

Dont expect them to offload any current talent unless they are either no good or have problems.

Louis McCrthy-Scarsrook, Michael Shenton, Peter Fox and Michael Lawrence are the type of British targets we should look at IMO.

Best young english halfback is Myler but i believe he will be reluctant to leave Salford for a few years.....

How did you come to this conclusion



Briers spat his dummy out over Bobby Goulding being picked instead oh him, St.Helens then got rid because they knew he was trouble.

I'd go along with that list as well as adding Joe Westerman to that list of possible transfer targets

Would'nt you just love Tony Puletua in your squad though

They'll all do as well. Money talks and better throwing some at some young lads for a change.

Paul Sykes, no.

Eric Sykes - maybe
