I agree!!!

Would rather have Daryll Griffin than Mason but Mason over Dowesy any day of the week

Some Wigan fans want Dowes!

It's possible Kath has more of a say who comes in player wise? But,on another note,when does Agar's contract run out?

What for?

They want Dowes instead of Coley!!

Quote ="VerbalKint"What for?'" viewtopic.php?f=28&t=491007 I thought they were joking at first.

that would be an embarrasing signing for them

Quite a few on here mentioned Anthony Thackeray,in the off season,but i see Widnes have already told him he won't be kept on next season www.loverugbyleague.com/news_542 ... -2012.html

Horne - Should only be offered a fringe-player sized contract, which I can't see him taking.
Long - Let go.
O'Meley - Beg to stay.
Fitzgibbon - Do not keep as a loose forward under any circumstances.
Washbrook - Not too bothered either way if he's inexpensive.
Lauaki - Another year to hopefully see what he can do under a proper coach.
Dowes - Let go unless a new coach comes in before the season ends and he has a big response to it.
Phelps - Let go.
Burnett - Same as Washbrook
Moa - Same as O'Meley

Retaining Fitzgibbon should depend on what we can do with our overseas spots. IMO we really need a prop, 2 halfbacks, and a fullback. One of the halves to be British, which would mean 2 spots for 3 players. Fitzgibbon could then be kept as a prop if we can either fill 2 of the 3 positions with Brits or we can't find a better overseas prop option. Personally I'd hope we look at finding a good British prop as we are getting short on them.

I would also tell Turner he can listen to offers.

Tim Smith

just been watching canberra v cowboys and it said that matty bowen might be looking at finishing his career in northern england, great fullback/6 and a bit injury prone

anyone who is past there best should be released.....long, horne for starters....saying that tho, fitz is past his best, but what a player he still is....he should get another year at least..ala menzies

Rules out Catalans, Crusaders and Harlequins then!

id bloody hope so..maybe he got a 'U' in his geography exam....

Haha, just saying the bulk of SL teams are in the North so doesn't really tell us we didn't already know!

But I'm with you, would be a great signing!

Gareth Moore signs for Wakey, be interesting to see how he goes in SL, signed a 2 year deal, but if looks good might be available at the end of year.

Sheldon will be pleased he gets a chance at SL.

They are winning things so easy they want a handicap to make it more interesting.

Those are the ones I'd hope we keep tabs on, but obviously with varying levels of achievability. Also, if Wakefield are still in need of a few bob I quite like the look of Paul Johnson for a small fee.

Scoot Grix at FB for us would be a great signing. Been brilliant this year.

Murphy at wakey would be an excellent signing,and could be available,even more so if wakey are declined a license.Ratchford could be an option at 6 too.

Never understood the fuss over Murphy?

I see Moore from Batley has signed for Wakey.

Murphy is young,British,solid,good under the high ball,strong quick,and can play fb,wing or centre.As for moore,i suppose we will see what he can do at super league level,if and when he gets his chance,but think he is going to be back playing championship rugby next season anyway.

carvell would jump at the chance to come back, shame his missus wont let him!
