it will be intresting to see how the rest of the recruitment goes like with 5 players already signed and good ones at that then i cant see how we will have much salary cap space left espcially enough to sign a couple of quality signings like some have suggested.
players in
heremia, seymour, ellis, mckinnon, ocarrol

players out
fitzgibbon, long, burnett, dowes, lauaki, gleeson(although wont be on a huge wage) all expected to leave but i woudnt be dissapointed if washy, sharp and obst left which would leave us with more cash to play with.

like ive suggested before i woudnt mind seeing matt utai come to the club next year and then that leaves us to sign 2 english forwards a prop and backrow. i woudnt mind seeing liam watts and larne patrick come to the club 2 good yougn english forwards although transfer fees wll be required, so far the majority of the squad is sorted and so far the squad looks like
1.mckinnon
2.utai?
3.turner
4.yeamen
5.briscoe
6.seymour
7.ellis
8.omeley
9.houghton
10.moa
11.westy
12.manu
13.tickle
subs
14.heremia
15.ocarrol
16.new prop
17.whiting

how on earth are you able to use the Internet?

He was definitely off his game today, but the "few" times i've seen him this season has given me encouragement. He certainly brings a kicking option and he looks class out of dummy half in terms of scoots and passing the ball quickly off the ground.

I'll admit i've not seen a great deal, but barring today, he looks like he'll bring us a dimension we've lacked.

Matt Utai ? Oh dear

I reckon now the lynch is dead the next few signings will surprise some people and won't even be mentioned on here till there done .

Really? When compiling a list of just 5 players we would be better off without you're including Tickle? Did you forget everybody else's names or something?

Gareth Ellis

why hes been very good for wests since hes come back into the team over the last couple of years great kick returner

maybe 2013

Awful against St George.

We shouldn't be looking overseas for a winger imo.

Oh and Horne will be 6 next season.

Isn't he contracted till the end of 2013?

Utai is Awful full stop

did tickle refuse to sign your shirt?

why would you want to get rid of one our best players!!!??

but overall the last couple of years hes been pretty good for wests after his injuries ect and we need a new winger so signing another centre would still leave us with playing whiting there if we can get a good english winger in then id be hapy but it will take a tranfer fee maybe jodie broughton?

for me the way jamie ellis plays the game is exactly what we need and with players like seymour, heremia, mckinnon i think he will settle in very well and will have that experience around him. horne is still to inconsistant but will be a great back up player to have and will get plenty of game time when mckinnons hamstrings gone lol

Some news for the 2012 season on its way tomorrow apparently...

whats that then

Weve got a winger on cap and we need a centre more.

If Ellis is 7 Seymour won't play 6.

weve got a winger on the cap that can be moved on and ok if we get a top centre it means we still need a winger but id be happy with turner in the centres with a good winger outside him for deffo.
what do you mean by seymour wont play 6?

Maybe Gentle confirmed ?

I mean Horne will.

And I'd rather get a better centre and keep Sharp.

seymour will be starting half without doubt alot better then horne but im hoping we play with ellis at 7 with brett playing of the back of him with his class and ability to put players through holes.

id rather sign a good winger and keep with turner who has improved tremendously this season espcially defensivley which let him down. ok if we sign a good centre then it means whiting will be starting winger which cant be a long term thing as the last couple of weeks have shown

Where's that from - Twitter?

Richard horne has prooved his worth to be the starting six next season on current form, ellis has to earn that right
