Shame we dont have a quota spot available or salary cap, could make a massive difference to our SL season. www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/leag ... -uy2i.html I would guess that he is waky bound to replace Brough, as they have a quota spot and salary cap space.

I'd be surprised dave, a few people are calling for him to get a nsw call up and Newcastle have made it clear they want him for next season.

Maybe he will come to SL until the end of the season then.

by NSW I mean the origin side, origin starts in less than 2 weeks.

He'll be on a fair wage at storm I'd be surprised if wakefiled would be willing to match it till the end of the season, never mind better it.

We have made enquiries about Fielden.

Really??

That must mean his playing days are over then

How do you know that Paul?

Like everyone else, rumours. I did not say we had made an offer, purely enquired about his situation.

And what is "his situation" ?? Personally, I think he would be a good signing. Not been at his best for a while now but a million times better than Dowes.

fielden is reported to be on huge money at wigan. Been better this season so I'd imagine if his wage demands were reasonable then wigan would be looking to keep him. coley would be better VFM but doubt he'd move over here and would just go back to being a donkey under our coach anyway

Not much point in hoping or speculating anyway because I think that we all expect Dowes and Radford to get extensions to Agar's little boys club !!!

May be no one else available

Lynch is nailed on, defo!!

Of course we have, he's in his 30's now.

You don't think any players improved under bomber?

mcrae was the last decent coach we had. Put in the correct structures and brought in players who fit his way of playing at the right end of their careers.

No surprise that the youth system has gone to pot since.

10 years since we produced a home grown 1/2 back capable of cutting it in SL
Only regular members of our pack who came through the ranks are houghton and radford (who spent more time in bradford's ranks anyway)

Our team is pretty much made up of over the hill aussies/british players and cast offs from other clubs

Brett finch

hull and wakefield ahve made an offer for next seaon according to his agent

Wigan looking at him also.

Lets not fook abot like we did with Dobson and Monghan, just get him signed for next year, would make a massive difference to our squad.

That'll be our dynamic board that will have to act quick then

Don't think so, Horne and Cooke are possibles I guess, tbh I can't remember that far back in great detail about the players who came through under him. I do knwo he had some of the best ever squads we have had in SL with some genuine world class players yet he never quite delivered as he should have done and people were of the opinion that we needed a change in coaching personal as Bomber had taken us as far as he could.

My recollection of that period was that we had lots of injuries (I know, I know) to key players. We still had an exciting squad and played some of the most entertaining rugby of the modern era.

Where's it say that ?
