Resign!!!!!!

i thought Reece Lynn was lucky thst Salford didnt target him earlier and more often too. thrown in a little too early but hell learn from it i guess

you cant say that about Dowes mate!! many on here think he is potentially the next Webke!!
on the other hand you and I think he is a plodder , the guy is a cheap squad player and nothing more!! again like Radford surely we should be aiming higher.
I believe there is still a ton of dead wood to be shed from FC and it goes like this
Agar
Radford
Yeaman
Moa
Hall
Dowes

Totally agree a handful of good games in 3 seasons. A major disappointment for me. I'd put in our three quarters see if it invigorates him and us.

These 2 reportedly on over £300k between them too

Any advance on 300k?

Well I thought that at least Danny Houghton played well!

Maybe we should bang Berrigan in the centres if he's not making an impact at hooker? We're weak in the three-quarters, so could help?

old braveheart dont have the guts to do it!!

Anybody watched Saint Helens for the last few seasons would realise Longy floats in and out of games, and usually the more important the game the more he is in it. The first game of the season proves that.
Hopefully he will be fit for Friday and we will see it again

its not the worst idea, Berrigan was offering little at hooker yesterday anyway, and his handling skills outside could cause Rovers some problems.

I'd be happy to play Berrigan at centre, LF or 6, but the problem is Houghton cant play a full game there and we dont have a another hooker in the squad.

One of the things that needs addressing next season is to sign another young hooker.

houghtons just not good enough to be a starting sl hooker yet.

I think he could start a do a very good job, but couldn't last the 80 minutes there.

Needs to be a big improvment from Berrigan at hooker.

Pointless I think. Next year we have Berrigan and Houghton will need plenty of gametime too. Signing a hooker next season would not make sense. When Berro leave we can use his salary to sign a quality hooker with Houghton still off the bench.

It's not pointless if we have a hooker who isnt performing there, are you ahppy to have Berrigan at hooker next season with his form over the last year.

I'm not. I'd rather let Washy have a go and use Berro in the centres if he is under contract.

same here...did we not discuss this last week, wonder where that poster has gone who said you posted tripe

Maybe it's worth a try but everytime I have seen Washbrook play hooker he looks too slow, a bit like Murrell is at Rovers, he is not a natrual hooker.

You could probably go back 12-18 months and find me saying i'd rather use Tommy Lee at 9 and Berro in the centres.

Maybe so, i'm hoping more than anything i guess that we can find a regular place in the 13 for Washy and i think he could develop into a Cunningham type of 9. Would need to work on it but he does have very good hands, could he be worse than Berro from a distribution perspective?

Right here.



This is absolutely insane. He maybe throws one poor pass in a hundred and suddenly it wouldn't be possible to pass any worse?! Madness.

(And that's without mentioning the 'Washbrook could become like Cunningham' crap.)

It's yet another forum myth that has suddenly become fact. His distribution is generally good.

Washbrook aint fat enough to be a "cunningham"

There is an awful lot of received opinion on here. A pity it's generally received from such poor sources.

You've really got to take those Berrigan coloured specs off!!
The problem with the whole Berrigan thing is that in the time he's been here he just hasn't showed the form he once showed in Oz and he hasn't been able to lead us to , help us to or be part of any success because we haven't had any. You say he wasn't a leader in Oz , probably not but that's not the point , we signed him as a player to make a difference to this club and shelled out a huge amount of money. The club's fault? Possibly , he's a name grab him? Him/the Club Unlucky , probably. Him not giving a toss, don't know but lots of times that's what his body language and performance suggests. He can't use the excuse that many of our players can - simply not good enough - because we know he is and see it every now and then. BUT he's signed for another year at great cost , money which could have been used improve our desperate three quarter line. We have another year of potentially what we've had and can't go get another hooker even though we know he'll probably be ready for home at the end of his extension. Like I said before he owes us bigtime , I'd love to think that he's ready to repay but I'm not holding my breath. Sometimes in life for wahtever reason things don't work out and never do and Berrigan seems to me to be just one of those things. Hope I'm wrong but on recent past and current form the extra year is nothing to celebrate.
