Where did you read that about Carney 84?

Think he means when we had agreed to sign him.

apparently he has been unsettled over here so prob going back to oz.

It has been announced by Catalans that Carney has signed a three years deal.

yes i did.

I know, Brearley was meaning its a shame he didn't get the visa to play for us not Catalan

How about Marc Sneyd? Wouldn't mind Kev Brown back but that wont happen! Kyle Eastmond who's now in Union?

Sneyd has signed for Hull FC mate

Sneyd has signed for Hull for 100k, Brown could be available, and Saints were close to agreement, but Widnes fee demands were too high, and Eastmonds recently re-signed another 4 year deal after trying and failing to start negotiations with Saints...

Good halves are rare to come by...

Until our crowds pick up and bring more money into the club i doubt we will even begin to look at big name half backs !

lt will be very difficuilt to get a top halfback to play under Brough, Broughy has to be top dog, and will not want anyone upstaging him
Woody was coming on ok, and would have accepted the roll as second fiddle, l think thats why Brown left, and why Broughy was made captain.

i can't see kev brown coming back to the giants can you??
like daz says, we really can't afford to be buying in big names, we either go with what we have or we scour the championships,we have come up trumps this way before

Why carn,t we afford a certain player, we have the same spending money as every other club, the thing that usually swings it, is the length of contract, l doubt there are many , if any player on over 90K a year.

crabtree , brough and faiumu are on more than that.

chan too but he has gone now so some money spend there, faiumu leaving too... dont forget huby will not have come cheap though!

If we are in for Ellis it says a lot about our ambitions

i feel we do need to replace robinson at half back, he is just too slow and his passing options are awful at times, back to hooker with lunt? worked well before , ellis has a better kicking game which could take pressure off brough

Brearley. re Crabtree, Brough, and Fiaimu 90k plus. You know that for a FACT?

we have got ellis for next year i have heard, so where does that leave robbo,woody or lunty?

Lunts behaviour and body language after the whistle looked to me like a farewell show...

Hope I'm wrong, but...,,

came out in court during the mason case.

thought that too!

but still a year to go and last we heard he was staying so stick with that

anderson will prob chop and change like he has done all season with bailey and lawrence etc. said before he doesnt know his best team, now trying murphy at full back and gives a 2 yr contract to grix.

maybe robbo to hooker with lunt

ellis to partner brough and wood as cover, who knows...maybe the coach

that's just what we said- is that a farewell? he was first to come over to clap and wave to the fans.
i hope he stays, although he has shown it in flashes this year he is a top class number 9!

If we keep Robbo at half back we will win nothing, he does not defend well out wide and the better teams are exploiting that. Most of the problems Leroy and jerry have come from Robbo. Wigan ripped him apart two weeks ago, Catalans also targeted him to some effect. He plants his feet defending, which is fine in the middle but he is easily stepped out wide. I feel he can still do a very good job at hooker, that will play to his strengths and shield his weakness.

Kyle Wood I like, he was coming onto some real form when he got injured, we need at least three half backs in the squad, I am happy with Kyle as one.

Like others I felt Lunt's body language at full time was that of someone moving on. Kyle can help with that void also(with Robbo and Leeming).

Without making any signings I would like to see them try Connor with Brough at half back.

agree about robinson here

also if we are going to make connor specialised in one position then surely half back is the way to go, they are rare to come by!
