Havent seen nothing to say hes signed a new deal at Quims, so yes i still believe he is

Dunno mate, I don't have agents ringing me up to tell me. I do know that the last 2 overseas wingers we've signed at the ends of their careers would lead me to believe it's not the greatest idea in the world to sign another one

Difference with Meli is he's already over and is performing. You're right bringing over someone at the back end of their career is always a gamble, it's my belief we'd get 2 good years out of Meli which will allow time for Lyne to develope into our future wingman.

It's one thing signing a prop who's in his 30's, but a winger FFS. meli was never very quick anyway and by the time he's 33 he'll need a 10 metre start on whiting.

Still, one positive is that our wingers barely get a pass anyway so it probably won't matter who is there

Our current leading try scorer is a winger.
I think Whiting already knows how good a finisher Meli is as he put 4 tries past him earlier in the season and he'll finish the season with well over 20 at the rate he's going. If we use his greatest assets his size and strength we'll get good service out of him until Lyne is ready for a full time roll in the team.

if all the the saints players know the way to our try line,howcome we did the double on them this season

According to one of yesterdays daily rags , He wants to move back north.

I wouldn't mind trying to entice Sean Ainscough away from Wigan. With some game time, he could develop into a class player.

Our current top try scorer has less than half the tries pat richards has scored so I'd hardly take that as any indication that we use our wingers effectively.

We'll agree to differ. In my opinion, signing 30 something players who are no longer required at the likes of wigan and saints isn't the way to build a squad capable of competing with the likes of wigan and saints, although it does allow people to reflect on what might have been if we didn't get so many injuries

How long would you give this player to "develop" ?. Wigan aren't interested unless there's an injury crisis . Woeful under an high ball .

we agree jake!!!!!

also agree with you regarding meli

You agree that poor recruitment and retention is, in part, responsible for our injury problems?

longy was unlucky with this injury-could have happened to anyone.horne has possibly had his day now.we need to be looking for hb's,as we are pretty decent in other areas.our pack is very good,houghton coming really good.our backs need improving(winger,and possibly a centre)though i think turner could be outstanding next year onwards.reece is going to hopefully become a top winger.

2,6,7,and a prop ??

Steady on; that's a bit harsh. I've heard of Murphy

Played well last night...had sideshow Bob in his back pocket.

I wouldn't go that far

I would

Looks better at centre than wing to me

can't be ar$ed to troll through but I'm assuming he's of quota now. Although didn't he have trouble getting a visa last year.

Absouloute waste of a qouta spot signing overseas wingers. Qouta places should be reserved for players who can add something extra to the whole team game that our clubs dont produce in the academys for example creative halfbacks, hookers and ball handling centres and fullbacks or explosive impact forwards. Our style of play doesnt warrant expensive qouta spot wingers. The youth should be given a chance in this area as it is one position our club has an abbudance of willing youth, lynn,tuffour, jack briscoe plus an english signing from sl or championship.

go on then

they will be able to but the question is how good would they be?

lets see who he names before we judge

You know in the history of so called supporters you really do rate up at the top of the doom and gloom charts dont you, jesus christ I have never known anyone ever spout so much anti FC jargon in my life
I thought you supported FC.

OK Meli, one of the in form players of SL and looking absolutely everything we need yet he is too old according to you??
too old huh , would you accept Hicks, Morley, Menzies , Peacock or Briers into the club because they are all at the top of their games and past the 30 mark so why not FM??
its a fact you just cause argument for the fun of it
oh here i nearly forgot

it will be intresting to see what agar does next season with regards recruitment for our backs and how we will line up. now theres obviously briscoe who would like to play centre, theres reece lynne who could really push for a starting spot on the wing and will calderwood stay for me id like to give him 1 more year but doesent look likely so surley he has a winger lined up. do you give turner a starting spot next season in centre? personally 1.tansey 2.calderwood 3.briscoe 4.yeamen
5.meli would be a good backline.
