Pritchard ?

I have just listened to the AP interview (Well what I could as you could hear the callers just the presenters and AP), looks like we have 2 outside backs signed and AP was very excited by them and Pritchard (who he mentioned about 80 times).

Good news about Shaul staying, but sounded to be that it is unlikely that Rankin will stay.

The two new signings and how we compete and perform in the 8, will decide if I get a pass or not, I reckon many others feel the same and I think AP knows this too.

Thought it was adecent interview and quite honest for the most part, the problem is, we have heard this type of interview for the past 4 years now.

Mahe Fonua, Daniel Vidot and Danny Washbrook

These plus Taylor and Pritchard will be very good recruitment, although the first two only based on what I've read, YouTube clips and the odd game.

One concern is that they both seem to be wingers?

so you guys think inu not coming ?

pearson's been "really excited" about our recruitment every year since he took over. Let's be honest, he doesn't know a decent coach from a duff one so he's hardly likely to be a great judge of who is, and who isn't a great player

You just know that washbrook is going to end up being interchange hooker

Nah, first choice as Houghton is still off to Leeds for £200k

Mohe fonua is no longer a rumour he's a done deal,a tongan international from melbourne storm,22 yrs old and a winger or centre.Good business imo. coyh.

Ridiculous if our wingers are Fonua, Micheals & Talanoa.

I think our wingers will be Vidot, Lancaster and Naughton

Centres Talanoa, Fonua and Logan.

Has to be either one of Micheals or Yeaman, personally I'd keep Yeaman because he is a better centre, some of salary off cap and non quota.

Most of fonua's tries on youtube seem to be walk ins from 2 metres. He'll get a shock when he plays on the wing for us

Not convinced by Talanoa at centre. Great at yardage out of defence and a quick ptb, but not great in attack.

Can't seem to pass either

Just listening to pearson's interview. Says our outside backs will add power and strength. Nothing about pace

Me neither, but better there than on the wing, not going to sign two centres who are better though (struggling to get one), Logan will be there abouts, just needs to be stronger, a good off season will help him.

Not impressed with the Fonua signing at all .

why is that ?

As Ive said previously , I think he's average .

Any truth in the Shaul to Salford rumour.?

Going nowhere according to pearson. Also believes radford should be knighted for services to rugby league coaching, frank pritchard should be decorated for being the best, most expensive player ever and we have 2 superstar outside backs coming in

Yeh did I hear it right that it was sort of insinuation in that interview that Pritchard was to be the top paid player in Super League and that both he and Taylor were to be our marquee signings.

Yeah, we've been well done over paying him more than sandow is earning
