I know Lautiti is past his best but he offers something that none of our current forwards do.

I don't care where our players come from so long as they put 100% in when they pull on the shirt.

FWIW I rate George and would like him to sign a new contract and I feel that George Murphy, Mellers and Walshaw would offer us 4 very good Super League centres.

Mellors is no 2nd rater, for me our best signing for a long long time.

As for George like him a lot but just how many games as he missed through injury, if he can't put more than 3 or 4 games together is he much use to the team.
Just watch he'll leave and not get another injury and go on to be a world beater.

Do we really know if he is a centre?? How often have we seen him put his winger away? he looks better in the centre with us as he is getting more ball and more opportunity. Im still not convinced in a good side, that passes the ball about, he wouldnt be back on the wing.
I may be wrong, he may have the skills required but without ever seeing them i couldnt be so sure.

Given the option i would defo like to keep him tho as you know if he leaves he will end up injury free and playing 2 or 5 for England within 12 months!

I think he has improved a lot this year, he's injury prone and I think sometimes he is a bit too worried about getting injured.
At times this season he has stood out, and we should be retaining him if financially possible and giving him a starting centres shirt for next season.

To be honest he stood out because of his defensive efforts in a couple of games, shudds springs to mind.
Huge potential but will we ever see it at Belle Vue in the Trin colours.

How many times in recent years have we claimed that we have a 3/4 that can defend? Not many!!!
Look at Millard and Blanch away from BV both look better, and arguably neither can still defend, so perhaps we may see similar benefits with George with a new coach and playing system.
I'm not saying he's brilliant, I just think he improved this year and he could improve a lot more and then who knows?

This is true he has only stood out in few games with def/ mainly marker def.

I prefer George on the wing and I've seen very little of him at centre to convince me that's what he is.

I think George is a better Centre than Winger. He looks more comfortable there and his tackling is excellent.

excellant? didnt look that way when Kallum Watkins walked through him to score 4 tries earlier this season... (i know everyone has their off days but that was ridiculous)

To be honest I thought that ship had sailed a while ago. However, if George is staying i'd definitely have him in the centres over Mellars, with the latter perhaps moving onto the wing.

Please explain why ???

Because he is a good centre who's only going to get better. He showed against Huddersfield what he can do. He has been left exposed by his wing man on a number of occasions which has left him looking stupid, but in a better side his ability will shine through.

What we need to consider is George on the wing defensivley is shocking but at hes very good and give a good run injury free could perhaps give us a future england paring in smurph and george. Mellars could be the strong winger every team seems to have these days. A strong winger then a skinny lightening fast 1 which we have in morton and johnson with Mr crusader griffin as back up to mellars?

Just been told by same person that the 2 marquee signings are none of the current crop of announcements. Fingers crossed.

I don't believe you, you talk to yourself

Any clues - presume one may be Ali?

I don't believe me either but I like wearing a jacket which aides me to cuddle myself.


Ahhhhhh so that's what it's like in LA's head!

He's not said any names just that they had yet to be announced, no clues at all, but putting all the evidence so far we must have a coach in place?

its not Agar

I think Ali would be classed as a marquee signing so that would leave 1 other, a halfback?

James Maloney

He is contracted to the Warriors for next season.

I know but could have a clause

Saw a bit of Maloney on NRL fulltime last week and he looked very good and from memory was heavily involved in a couple of Warriors tries. From the little i saw he looked like a good pivot. He will do

.

I tell you what is up with me..I am a loon and I need to be stored in Fieldhead!

That aside, you can have all the talent in the world but if you are rarely on the pitch to realise the potential, what is the point? For what it is worth I would like to keep Luke George but not for him to play 8-10games a year.
