I heard a strong rumour that Brian Mac wants to bring Chris Bridge from Warrington down to fill Gafa's position, and he could also be a back up if Dorn isn't playing well or injured.

This Season he has had 10 tries and 43 goals in 25 games.

Thoughts?

Always felt he was undervalued at Warrington and a reasonable player.

... if a bit injury prone.

I thought that too but doing OK this season.

Would be a huge step up from Gafa

Pay attention Listy

I've given up for the season tbh.

Agreed. What has happened to gafa? Is it the same guy as last season or an inflatable version?

Seems to have never really recovered from his early season injury - academic now he's gone!

Doesn't he have off the field problems? A decent player all the same

Let's just say, that if the rumours about him are true, he won't fit into BM's regime. He's always looked like the makings of a good player, but his attitude has let him down.

Getting him out of his home comfort zone probably wouldn't do him any harm either.

or Brian's attitude has let him down... seeing as we're in the performance business, I reckon results show that Gafa was a better player when his attitude wasn't being, ahem, managed

Ive got a sniff there may be other concerns about his off field antics

I meant Bridge, didn't realise Gafa had problems, well apart from looking completely uninterested for half the season. Gafa was a bit of a punt from the start, a Canberra reserve grader he looked decent at times, but yesterday he couldn't even keep up with Dean Widders.

C'mon Gafa was superb for us last season until he had that awful injury. This season, he ... (well, I won't finish it, but any QuinsRL fan could).

It's his supposed proneness to other things that put me off him.

Darrell Goulding would be a decent centre signing IMO. He's not had a great 2009 but would be worth a go on a sensible salary.

Another good option would be Simon Grix.

Saying that, I thought Luke May looked good in Perpignan. Clubb, Howell, May and Bryan could cover the centres next year and we could spend any spare £££ on a no. 1 or 7.

Chris Bridge has had a good year at Wire with his goal-kicking and 10 tries is a decent return but he had become injury-prone with big injuries (knee reconstructions etc) so it would be a gamble and tbh if Quins wanted him then a year deal is all I'd give him at the minute.

Achilles tendon I believe it was that kept him out for a year

Warrington are shipping in Ryan Atkins, so someone must be on their way.

Bring back Mick Nanyn, he was never given a proper chance, another of Brian's class signings!

Just about nobody on here thought that Nanyn would succeed, but it may have been a fair punt to see how he could go if his fitness level was raised.

The truly dumb signing was Gardner who'd already been dumped by two SL clubs (or one and a half, because Salford had only just gained entry to SL).

got no prob taking punts on squad players.
