| Quote ="carl_spackler"I'm not saying he definitely wouldn't have longer in him, just that it's a hell of a risk to pay a transfer fee. If he was out of contract, great, but to pay a premium for him and as a statement of intent it's questionable. In fact you make the point yourself about Bradford not turning down the money because of his age.
Also, Price & Civoniceva are among the exceptions rather than the rule, normally forwards seem to retire around 33/34, and we saw with Cusack what a waste of a place they can be when they carry on too long. The very fact that he carries that Bradford pack could well be a factor that ensures he is one of those who finishes earlier.'"
Lynch is far superior to Cusack and has alot more in him if his performances for Bradford are to go by. And when I said about a transfer fee I dont mean like half a million or anything ridiculous like that but 100-150k would do the trick. That shouldnt hurt pearson who is used to be paying bigger fees and wages for the footballers.
Peacock is another id take as well as these are the sort of calibre players we need in the team to take us forward. Of course there is young up and coming props out there we can take a gamble on but for me Lynch is a no brainer. Yes I know it would be hard to persuade some of these top quality players to leave there clubs like peacock at rhinos but thats where a top class coach comes in. That would make it more appealing for the player and sends a message we are going to win things. Good thing with lynch is he plays for a rubbish club and looks fed up and im sure he would jump at the chance to play for the mighty black n whites.

| Dont know how true it is, but got told today that we have signed a current England international and a current Australian international for next season. Didn't say who they were, but told me the source. His brother is an ex KR reserve player (but a Hull fan) and knows Webbo form playing at Rovers and Webbo is supposed to have told him. This would make sense of the Bridge rumour.

Peacock is spent. I'd snap Lynch up in a second though. Would be an amazing signing.

I agree Lynch is a better player than Cusack was, my point was more about how inferior a player Cusack in his last year with us was compared to the Cusack we signed. If Lynch lasted 2 years with us we've basically paid an extra £75k wages a year for him, and whilst he's good is he THAT good? Also, you say £100-150k as if it isn't that much, but when you think about it, is a 32-year-old prop worth almost as much or the same as we paid for Westerman who looks better every week and should spend his prime years with us now?
Peacock's another I would have been pleased with a while ago but not now. Pearson seems willing to spend money, I'd hope it's on establishing us as one of the strongest clubs around for the foreseeable future, not just a couple of good seasons. If we start splashing money around on fading players it's going to make us look like easy targets for raised prices on any other players we try for too.

Totally disagree about Lynch as his experience in helping the youngsters would be massive as well as him being a force in the game. Id say we would get three years plus out of him. Sort of agree more on Peacock but im just trying to state that is the sort of calibre of player we should be looking at. Im sure nobody would be moaning if he brought these two in and we end up winning at wembley would they
But yes Westerman was a good bit of buisness and if they can do good deals like that then that would be great. But we dont want to be like Arsenal do we...

We could get 3 years out of him, I just very much doubt they would be at the same level of performance he is producing now. I think he would be a good, but short-term, signing, and therefore not worth a transfer fee big enough to tempt Bradford IMO.

Cusack proves your point perfectly. Agree entirely that Lynch could be a good signing but is a big risk and could easilly go downhill just as rapidly as Cusack did. Definitely wouldn't want Peacock now but therein lies the problem , who's out there? Maybe have to convert Ticks get Whiting into the backrow and strengthen the backs until a prop worth signing is available whilst giving a couple of the younger lads a go where necessary.

If i was Lynch i would be offended that he is put in the same bracket as cusack tbh...I know what u are saying about age but lynch doesnt seem to be stopping yet and at the end of the day we have taking risk on worse players then him. I mean mckinnon major knee construction surgery and has dodgy hamstrings and is quite old for a back where pace goes with age unlike props who rely more on power and stamina then pace.
If we are taking risks on goodish to average players then we must take small risks with top quality players who would make a difference like a lynch or a peacock imo.
