As we generally play our halves split, Sneyd being on the left and whoever on the right, shouldn't we be looking for a well-rounded half that's neither one thing or the other, but does everything to a decent standard?

If our halves played predominantly as first & 2nd receiver, then we'd be looking more to halves which compliment each other (e.g. a 'running' half with an 'organising' half).

After seeing Sneyd in Black & White for 2 seasons now I would say Myler a good shout for a half that would be compliment Sneyd.

For me Sneyd although he has all he facets to his game for me he is not a player suited to a running type of game he seems more adept at organistion, calling the plays etc. Not having a suitable partner or foil if you like for Sneyd is what hampers our play at times. Ratchford is another player who has been mentioned and again would be a could player to pair with Sneyd.

Wonder if Wire paid upfront for Lineham and Westerman? Maybe collateral to play with for a signing on fee?

Some of the posters on the wire board are not happy with Ratchford unless he's playing 6 or at centre every week. Given they have Russell, Sandow, Gidley and Patton it's debatable how badly they need him.
Pure speculation but it's a rumour I like the sound of

Robert Lui has been linked with Leeds, would we be interested?

I like Ratchford , I think he'd be a great addition to us , Maybe the chance for him to play 6 regularly might temp him over to this side of the rocks .

Quota

I wouldn't be disappointed with Stefan Ratchford at all. He's fast, good hands, reads the game well and attacks the line a bit. We definitely need a proven six. This player I think would be the last piece of the jigsaw. We've had a great 2016 but we need a new half to kick on in 2017.

Could count as `'magic weekend', then we could have a week off since our regular opponents aren't with us any more.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm not a fan of the magic weekend, in fact I'd bin it altogether, but this seems like a reasonable compromise, reducing the number of scheduled fixtures to the same as everyone else.

wire want watts so maybe a straight swap for ratchford

Kevin Naiqama apparently negotiating an early release from Wests, cracking player but no quota place

I know ratchford is signed a 4 yr deal in 2014, so could see some money changing hands, or a player swap

Just signed Crosby so they will be heavy on props, don't think I would want to see watts leave at any price

Watts to Wire next season was a "done deal" according to some, 9 months ago.

Watts is very close with Westerman, think they grew up together. Move would make sense, and after the fee we got out of them for the (low)flying pig and westy I think we owe them one

.

i'd be gutted if we sold or swapped watts to warrington

miss him badly when he isnt playing

The low flying pig recouped their £100k investment when he won the LLS for them at our place

Would be gutted to lose Watts, very classy prop.

I see Wigan are likely to be signing Ken Sio, one Rovers player I'd have liked us to have been in for. Definitely an upgrade on Charnley.

Burgess will be charnleys replacement I'd guess though and I thought Sio was only looking for another year as his family are still living in Oz,
Adam Walker said he was in talks with saint and us

Walker in talks with us? Thought he was going to Huddersfield

Sio to us , 1 year deal

Tbh I'd heard giants too yesterday but its from the horses mouth (apparently) that he's in with us and saints . hopefully saints get the nod .
He told KR he's only moving because he wants to win things so surely that's giants out I'd guess

Have a word. Wigan or NRL.

Do Wigan really need him though ?
