You're right, but I'm going on the basis that Long is fit, in which case we have a quality scrum half available. We don't have the experience/quality in the three quarters that we should in the squad even if everyone is fit, and have a quota player sat in the stands.

If we had contacts in Oz, that would cut down on the annual jolly, so that wont change soon.

That and not ing off ex players

hence the reason to sign another one to work alongside Long

the cull shouldnt've stopped at the 11 players that got the boot

Wigan look a lot better this year with Tomkins, Leuluai and Deacon to get them around the park with what looks like an even better signing in coach Maguire.

3 of our 5 quota players are hardly "names"

If we had a team of superstars in each position we'd be even more threatening.



You can always improve a squad, but you have to prioritise. Centre simply isn't that weak an area compared to Half Back and Pack, especially as we have young English players who can play there for many seasons to come. There's plenty of threat in our centres provided we get them quality ball - and to do that we need a good pack and half backs that can create.

If Long would have been fit sunday, 95% of posts on this board since would not have happened

3 of 6 or 4 of 6

We have an International centre and two International wingers. We have a full back who's played in the NRL.

Not sure how much more experience and/or quality we need at this point in the squad's development TBH.

But we've prioritised the pack such that all our quota spots are used on it. We've also got, on paper, 2 very good halves in Horne and Long. I don't see that Whiting and Yeaman as 1st choice centres isn't weaker than both those areas. I take the point that we have more cover in the centres, but not that we have more quality.

but he isnt and without him we'll be shafted on most occasions and whats knarks me off is that this situation couldve been avoided if the club had any foesight

roll on the next forum, plan b plan b plan b plan b

then again the coach will be gone by then

and thats what its all about

tbf Moa is only here because Willie shoved him in his suitcase and brought him over because he was his mate

[size=200Plan B[/size

We have one creative half back. You saw on Sunday what happens when he's injured. If we lose a centre we have ample cover of good quality.

Moa will be a good signing and could be a good signing for years to come. It would have been better for squad balance to sign a backup half back, but in the absence of one (whether through not looking properly or unavailability) then he was certainly a better option than another centre. Assuming that he gets used correctly, of course.

the pressure's on already



think we'll skip round plan b, anyone got advance on plan c?

Bring back Thacks again but this time get Brough with him

come on wolfie, i know your reading it

I'm just hoping that we don't hit double letters by the end of the season.

think most people wouldve sent for the rope by then

why would anyone be interested in what ive got to say,id rather keep quiet thanks.

you going to keep to that when we win next time, or start another thread about Agar getting a new contract?

lowest form of wit



cant help yourself can ye?

you're the one with double standards mate, I stand by my observation that Agar should have been on Channel 4 at 10pm tonight and not managing a SL team.
