Also an excllent halfback, miles better than we have, lacking a kicking game for sure, but can run, pass orgainse and tackle.

He has played 7 for NZ, New Zealand Warriors and Wigan (were he was MOTM in the GF). If he isn't good enough I am not sure who is, in a area that is really hard to recruit, I'd be shocked if we can sign a better player than him.

Not really hard for Salford,St Helens & possibly Warrington.

We need a half with a kicking game who can organise and open up defences. leuluai doesn't have a kicking game and never seemed that creative to me. I'm not sure on the organisational side as I've never taken that much notice of him but if he only offers 1/3 of what we need then he'll just be another disappointment. He's a hooker who can do a job in the halfs but isn't good enough to be a first choice 7 IMO

Strange as some of the top coaches in the world disagree with you, obviously you know than coaches like Maguire.

Long kicking isn't perfect, but we need more than that and he offers all the others we need.

Surely we should be looking at improving our team and the fact that he is miles better than we have.

Not sure were we are getting this perfect halfback from?

Shame maguire isn't at the warriors then or he'd be getting a game

Salford haven't got a decent 7, in fact they loaned there best 7 out to Cas.

Saints did and got lucky at the right time, 2 months later and he would have stayed in the NRL, when they signed him, he wasn't in great form, also we went for him.

Warrington are playing Bridge and Rachford at halfs.

The only 7 available that is as close to what we want is Dobson, but he will be high demand.

So the fact he can't get into the NZ Warriors side means he isn't good enough, does the same apply to Dobson who can't get into a poor Newcastle side?

Thomas Leuluai is a fine player, no doubt, but there must be serious concerns about his fitness. He's still struggling with the groin injury that cut short his World Cup. There were even reports that he might not play again this season.

Dobbo to saints and walsh back to aussie looks nailed on.

Fantasy Island. Some on here rubbish every player linked but never seem to come up with realistic option.

looking at all these players people think we are getting, i was thinking about what the squad would look like, even if 1-2 players are probably not coming

1. Shaul
2.Talanoa
3.Sa
4.Crooks
5.Lineham
6.Leuluai
7.Dobson
8.Paea
9.Houghton
10.Pritchard
11.Ellis
12.Manu
13.Westerman

14.Cunningham
15.Taylor
16.Tuson
17.Green

Looks fairly decent to me, but that's what my squad would look like if we did sign these players

IF we sign them

Well there's a picture of Pritchard on Twitter with an NRL contract, so I guess that rumour can be put to bed.

Can't believe some of the utter made up and ridiculous stuff they post on here, that team is so far from possible it's laughable, the naivety of some, although it shouldn't surprise me does actually shock me to the core. no Yeaman

How is it ridiculous?
We could sign those players just like anyone could, look at salford it really just comes down to money though.

no yeaman because it says MY squad IF we signed those players, and yeaman wouldn't be in it, he's had his time IMO.

Hows Mason, O'Hara, Gleeson and "laptop" Eden getting on

People are trying to divert their attention a way from the shower of shi t on the field so are creating teams made up of ex KR players.

Very depressing.

i have to agree with this, it is never going to happen. i would be surprised if we sign any of those in that team. however don't forget this is the rumours thread so it shouldn't be taken too seriously

?

I was kidding, jeez some people need to lighten up!!!!

I'll be pedantic, why would you play Pritchard at prop? When he isn't one.
