I don't know why your laughing. That is already a done deal. He wants to team up with his brother in law for a couple of seasons. He is replacing Tony Stewart.

Never had squad no's in the NRL

What!!!! playing rugby like you were taught at school, this will never happen in England coz they are pros and know better

I thought Tony Stewart had already been replaced by a ghost

Less chance of getting through a ghost

Yes they have

What season was that then?

Great player, not a nice person.

Neither was Ellery Hanley but I'm sure you would have had him at the same age. (Not that I'm comparing Littler to the Black Pearl!).

The NRL have 'squad numbers' in that they name a squad of (I think its 20) at the start of the week, then the projected starting 17 a couple of days before the game and if any of those pull out up to the game the replacement wear the 'squad numbers'

Dont care what there like off the pitch if they do the goods on the pitch. Littler would be a vey good signing as would Smith

i would go after marc leafa, penky, karl fitzpatrick, mick govin, jonny woodcock, dana wilson

Sign two more fullbacks despite us already have trouble choosing who to play there? I suppose Fitzpatrick could play at 6 but it would be good to sign a specialised one, e.g Joey

As already stated by Alex's Dad, we don't have much choice.

We aren't a bad side, we got totally outclassed on Sunday whilst defending and attacking poorly. We have come unstuck at late stages in games Fev/Barrow etc but winning those games will come with experience something we don't have enough of.

We can't afford an influx of new players we need the ones we have now, to work hard and perform well. We do need a good stand off and another prop. We won't go down and I think if we have enough about us we wil reach the play offs.

For me, the likes of Hobson, Donlan, Stewart, Maden, McConnell etc all need to step their games up. They have tonnes of experience at this level and above and should be playing better IMO.

We have some great young players coming through, Mort, Higson, Meekin are three I expect to carry on improving to become key assets in our side. We just need a couple more affordable experienced players to arrive and perform and our other 'seasonsed' players to step up abit more.

Wouldnt have Govin as he`s injury prone and wouldnt have Dana Wilson either. We have 2 FB`s - so we dont need to get Fitzy............but would love for us to sign Penky and Leafa.

I guess you would rather have props who either dont take the ball in or cant get fast PTB`s and dont hit hard in defence.

He`s crap.

First Nanyn and now Smithy!

He would be in your team, i guess our coach just knows how to get the best out of players. Take Greenwood for example, Leigh fans made out he was average at best. Hes now without doubt the best full back in the division.

TBH I never wanted Greenwood to leave - but was offered a lot of money by Fax to sign for them (excellent player).............. but never rated Wilson when he was at Leigh and still dont.

When at Leigh, I didn't think Miles was the 'finished article'. But he was always quick, and elusive, and backed up well - qualities that made him stand out above the 'average' player. Obviously, other facets of his game have been developed and he is now a very good player.

Let's be honest, Greenwood looks better because he has a better side in front of him. Was hardly going to look like a world beater when dealing with line break after line break when he was with us.

Very true Matt. Stuart Donlan was hardly made to look a good player on Sunday, when repeatedly faced by the ball carrier, with five of his mates backing him up!

Exactly my point, Alan. Same can be said for Morty against Fev; he can't tackle them all on his own!

Bit like being the goalie - you tend to feel responsible for every try in rugby, (speaking from experience!) as they all come past you! I really hope the rumours about Ian possibly leaving, are untrue - I think he too has got some outstanding skills, and just needs some of his lesser points developing.
