Heremaia isn't the answer at scrum half, but neither is Seymour. Both are equally ineffective in my opinion. That said, you could argue that it's pretty pointless to weaken the hooking position to avoid playing Seymour, but I'm sure Gentle has his reasons. I suppose we don't see what happens in training and whatnot.

What's abundantly clear is that we need to sign another half back before we have any chance whatsoever of being considered more than a mid-table side. If Holdsworth was to pick up a longer term injury, we'd be screwed.

If we were in the market for a new half back are any due to become available? Would be a competitive market too.

Yep Thurston's ooc.

Any that would be in our price bracket and would want to come to England, then?

No thanks,he's 'past it' as of the 23rd April this year!

Scott Prince would have been a great signing. Until we get a top class 7 we will not break into the top 4 on a regular basis.
Last night though we were given a beating by a top class side who will do job on most sides in the league. It would have been hard for a top half back last night without the ball in the second half!

Doubt it.

I assumed the lack of Seymour was the club sending him a message to go home!

Wire had Myler and Rachford in the halfs, Leeds have McGuire and Burrow, Wigan Moore and Green, are Holdsworth and Horne that much worse than them ?

15 minute spell lost it for us, Wire tackled well, didn't give any penalties away and held onto the ball for the whole game thus we had very little ball to work with. We did similar apart from that 15 minute spell.

We obviously had a plan to kick for the dead ball but I'm not sure I agree with that, it gave us no chance of a repeat set when we did get into the Wire half. If we had kept it late at 6-4 it might have worked but it was never going to stay at that score.

I assume you realise he's contracted until the end of 2014 and he won't be going anywhere unless someone digs deep into his pockets?

Not once did we utilise the bomb last night. If your kicking game is no good like ours , the bomb is your best option.

If we've got any money left on this years cap I could see him getting paid off.

Like a parting gift from Agar and Kath

Don't disagree and probably for the best for both parties.

Could Trent hodkinson be realistic Sheldon or still get team in Oz?

The 7(s) they brought in don't appear to have worked, do they?

Coincidence, I'm sure.

I think he'll get a run with the Bulldogs this season.

There's a few clubs in oz struggling to get half backs.

Isn't he held together with Sellotape?

You beat me to that comment by 6 minutes.

Agar had the last laugh . I would rather have Tim Smith than Seymour.

I know that, but if he knows he isn't going to get a game he might start considering his options, I'm assuming he wants a job or career after 2014 especially if the club might be willing to help him along.

Or he might be in the team next week. Without being able to dual reg him or play overage players in the U-19's the longer he goes without playing the worse it will be.

Seymour should have played IMO, Azza been doing well from DH. Hopefully DJ back next week.

He was last season.

, with Horne backing up.

Saints are having a similar (but not as big) a problem.
Even Rovers have got this covered better than us. We will never progress until this 6 year problem is resolved.

It'll be interesting how we'll go if DJ isn't available.


Let's just hope he is eh.
