Jack Logan has been out for nearly a year now.

| Quote ="Wilde 3"5 years ago, I would have said that you can put anyone on the wing really that could do half a job and be error free. Nowadays, they are a vital part of the team. They need to have good kick return, land on their front to get the momentum into the set. Be good in the air as they can be bombarded. They need to have agility to finish tries in the corner with the corner post now not being classed as in play. I dont think we really have a winger that can score a try like Makinson, Lineham, Burgess, Hall etc. so if there is a strong ball carrying, flying try scoring winger out there who is good in the air, can we sign him please?
'"
Add another 10 years to your time frame and you would have a point.
Since Bradfords strategy of using Vianikolo and Vaikona on the wings from around 2002 onward, the days of the slight, fleet of foot winger were just about over.
I do think that too many out there expect us to find the perfect player in a winger (runs like the wind, build like heavy weight boxer, can finish and can defend well. Well, they just don't really exist. lets face it, at the time we would all have welcomed Offiah to the club (we made a bid in 1991/2 ) but he could not defend to save his life. I do wonder how well he would have got on in todays power driven game.

| I think Offiah was a freak, and would have scored tries in any era, as coaches would have worked more on the weaker side to his game - whereas back then, he was in a title winning side, and they just gave him a bit of space. They didn't need to work on his deficiencies

not sure but last few times I've watched the Dragons he's just looked really slow, was never a speedster anyways but he runs like a backrower who's got lost.
Think we'll be looking for some pace anyways as that's what we're missing IMO.

Another winger I'd be happy for us to sign would be Jodie Broughton, think he is OOC, injured at the moment but been good for Catalans.

has he not been injured loads? Would still have him, think he'd suit our current style well.

Not now no.
Nowhere near the player he was when he left us. Injuries appear to have seen to that unfortunately.
We need better.

| I'd have him back, great player for us, for whatever reason some players just don't perform at certain club, a bit like Shentonnat Saint.
Be a good signing

| Tom Briscoe is still only 27, should have a few good years left him yet.

| Trouble is he's an old 27 with a lots of miles on the clock. Was a very good player for Hull but his recent injury record is worrying - it would have to be a heavily incentive based contract.

| Granted he has had a couple of bad years with injuries, after been near 100% at Hull, but looks ok this year and has played just about every game so far this season

| Rawsthorne is doing well at York and in the Reserves. I wonder if we might him in contention.

Only young (20/21?), will be 4th choice winger IMO.

Hope not. Really naturally gifted and should grow into being a great centre. Wasted on the wing though I reckon.

| Depending on what sort of winger we (Radford) want Jodie Broughton would be a good choice (big & fast) or Mcgillvary or Niall Evalds who looks like he maybe free next year and scores plenty of tries.

| I like Elvalds, but much prefer him at fullback, wouldn't suit us a as winger. If we don't sign a winger to replace Fonua, Griffin is a good shout.
Shaul
Talanoa
Tuimavave
Connor
Griffin looks good to me.

| Caton brown is out of contract year end. Centre or winger. Fairly robust/strong. Incredibly fast and a freaky try scorer. Some areas need work but if on wing wouldn't be a problem as much

Cas are showing how even average / inconsistent wingers can look like world beaters in an expansive side that are playing with confidence. I'd have thought you'd be better spending elsewhere and the wings look after themselves (or a decent player)

Agree with that. Spend the big bucks in the middle.
