Yep.

thinking about it have we enquired if theres any players need development from say brisbane broncos academy where mr PW is going?

rangi chase from cas if the rumoured fall outs are true?

If we thought Drew were even remotely interested in doing a job for us, I'm sure we would have asked for him as part of the Brough transfer. So either we don't think he can any more, or he doesn't want to, or both. Ratchford would be the one I'd target, if he's fallen out of favour at Salford. I still have the feeling we'd end up with a similar partnership to BJ and Rooney if we got him, but It'd be better than the options we have at the moment.

Drew i reckon, but you seem to be in the know, I am sure Brad was still injured when the deal was being done, well he is perm injured but hey ho...mayb they thought let's see how Sam does as Drew aint going anywhere

When brough went we didn't have an overseas spot available

Yep, if he can stay of the pop.

Wrong tree there, mate. I just call it how I see it.

True and was injured at the time, he's played in the 20's since and went ofF limping so maybe he's washed up, but i have no doubt if he was fit he'd do a job.

well hell be ok at our club then alan, its temperence central!

right ive decided i want chase and Sausage please!

Pot of tea, bread and butter.

I would be happy with that but its Wakey so don't build your hopes up.

Cant we do a ripping yarns "barnstoneworth united" job and go and ask the bloody march brothers to play? Just for one week even, they would show the rest of the team what its like to give a toss!

by the way best sport comedy episode ever but it does so remind me of watching WTRLFC!

He's said all along he wanted to go back to Huddersfield. Wouldn't be my choice, but hell, someone's got to live there. Didn't think about the quota situation, tbh, but even if we had the space, if it were up to me, I'd look elsewhere.

Short term fix if he's fit, knows the players and coaches, knows how to get to the try line, not ideal because of his age but unless they have someone else lined up. Of course he may not want to or be allowed to.

He is and allows people like Mick robinson to look for someone for next season, you can not argue that the Tronc acquisition would have been a good one, had it not have been for his mrs

Can't find fault with that, and thats a first

We didn't really get that much use out of him in his last season with us. Huddersfield haven't seen a fat lot out of him this season, if anything at all. He'd fix nowt for me, mate. If we could get a non-quota player to fill the position, we'd have a few more options for a replacement prop too (though I'd rather see us go home grown there too, and save the quota place for a 3/4 / centre, where the Aussies are streets ahead of us).

Fair points but i'm still right



Home grown would be my choice but we need a quick fix who can fix quick, no time for projects at this stage, nowt will happen anyway its Wakey.

I wouldn't call Ratchford a project, he's had a bit of exposure at this level, and could do a job for us.

In my ideal world

, we'd get him to fill the spot for the remainder of the season, but on a 2 year contract, look to the NL for another good young prop, and look to Aus for a top quality 3/4 for next season.

You should apply for a job at Wakey, you seem to have it all worked out

Im still punting for McNally 6 and Ratchford 7

Jessie Joe Parker from fev

Long term thats fine but it won't help us next week or the week after.

They'd headhunt me, if they had any sense.

And yes, I know that has 2 meanings...

The Wally Lewis type of signing doesn't seem to be available at the moment. It looks like you're just going to have to tough it out, I'm afraid. Hopefully, we'll have turned the corner by the time i get back, otherwise, I can add a few more losses to my already impressive loss-attendance statistics.
