obviously a bad guess lol

im guessing he will be on more than that we probably offered more then that to him!
how anyone can say seymour is on this prince is on that and think they no what a player earns is beyond me

Where exactly is this 200k pa scrum half coming from by the way? I'd guess all first choice NRL halves are on all of that, and they don't tend to like losing their replacements. Maybe one of the vast numbers ofnSL scrum halves?

When you've got players like Miller, Drinkwater and Kelly likely start the season at half back you can tell their thin on the ground.

There's nobody in the NRL, even the e halves earn more than we could offer. We have our organiser/kicker in Holdsworth, we need someone with genuine pace with a little trick or two to play alongside him. In the long term we do have a couple with real potential in the younger grades but in the mean time somebody like Handbury would do.

You can look closer to home (obviously not yours) and see what Wigan have replaced Finch & Leulaia with.

So have we officially written off this season?

That happened as the 80min mark ticked over at Leeds didn't it?

pretty much lol BEL14VE all about 2014 that is our year

60 min, you mean.

Absolutely not.

When Watts, Holdsworth and Ellis return we have the makings of a very good side.

Yes we do.

Just that we still need another half to partner Holdsworth, everybody knows it, and the first five games this season have compounded it.

More so we need luck.
We are lacking another half no doubt but we're not unique.
This weekend alone -we missed holdsworth- we lost
Brough out-hudd lost-miserably!
Wire missing Michael monas & briers lost &they have probably the strongest squad
Rovers have shown they can barely win a game with Dobson and even Leeds in the past have struggled with no sinfield.
We really need a top 7 granted but luck helps massively and were a bit short on it at min.

Is Gleeson on special leave to see his mam?

Or is he off to see the specialist about his fake injury?

I'm not sure the issue is that we need another half to [ipartner[/i Holdsworth - I think Horne can do a decent job of that. Even Nicklas, probably. The problem occurs when Holdsworth doesn't play. What we need is another creative player who can step in to the organising role if Holdsworth is injured.

horne joint top in the try assist table.

Our only points this season have come when horne and holdsworth were our half backs

We have absolutely no pace in our halves. Horne is ok but he needs a big gap to be able to get through.

Not many teams have two organising/creative halves, especially one who's just a back up.

Let's be honest, the Horne/Holdsworth combo wasn't exactly rolling off everyones tongues at season start.
Unfortunately were now in the position were it's looking like our only viable pairing.

We needed two halfbacks last off season and got one. Horne is a good back up but problem is we lose Holdsworth and we struggle. That is not our only issue but it's our biggest one.

I wasn't suggesting that we signed a creative player as a back up, merely stating that [ipartnering[/i Holdsworth isn't necessarily the problem - it's what happens when he doesn't play. Of course we should be looking for a half of the sort of quality that they are first choice to play alongside Holdsworth, but mainly so that all of our creative flair doesn't come from one player. If we could 100% guarantee that Holdsworth would play every game, I think Horne could work really well with him (as he did in the Bradford game).
