Our first season in championship 1 has been flooded with rumours of signings and players leaving. One recent one i herd that is James Nixon was offered a Quins move at the end of the last season. How would you feel about Nixon joining ?

hmmm


fastest player outside superleague, top try scorer outside super league.
You will do well to find many better Wingers in the super league.

I suppose anyone is an improvement on Jon Wells and some speed in our side will be a completely new concept.

Ship him in.

we will probably play him at prop then

It was in the Barrow local rag at the time. Apparently the Barrow chairman persuaded him that his future would be more secure if he stayed put.

I'm sure we could use him.

We don't really use wingers at Quins. They are just smaller props in BMs scheme of things. Can you bulk him up for us

Before Gardner move to saints he was slender like nixon, so im sure we could bulk james up. However, with super league training and conditioning, nixon is a better winger. The amount of long range tries he has scored this season, unreal.

As he is taking the advice of his coach to stay where he is it doesn't really matter. Our loss your gain I suppose.

Do you remember those heady days of 2008 when Will Sharp was good?

No

Gardner, there's a name we know all about…

Greenwood, Sheriffe, Nanyn etc. Time and time again it has been proved signing national league three quarters results in a national league three-quarter line. Which is fine, if your play in the national league.

Purdham?

There are some exceptions of course. The club have to be really careful and diligent about who they go after.

Shipping in a boatload every season doesn't seem a wise strategy (especially if other clubs aren't really interested in said players).

Woah, but harsh on Greenwood there mate.

Try scorer with a good instinct for the line.

Less said about defence the better. I imagine he would be a super league player today if his defence measured up.

The one name who will replace Jon Wells over next season and into the future is Jamie O'Callaghan. He might want to play full-back in the long-term but I feel that Wellsy will tutor the former London Irish youngster to be a quality super league player, and a future Irish international(?)

Agreed, good player; not sure why he fell out of TR's plans. Sheriffe shouldn't be bracketed with Nanyn either.

On topic, thought Nixon looked good when I've seen him on TV. But, as others say, BM needs to move away from giving wingers three hit-ups in every set of six.

Because he was a defensive liability and useless at taking the ball up?

Ive been impressed with the lad. Has a great future if we ever start playing Centres and wingers like other clubs do instead of as part time props. has real speed and a great attitude. I would have him in now and cant understand what BM is doing.

Nikko wont be going anywhere his wife has just given birth, he has got a good job and is playing in a top championship side, im sure the draw of a super league contract would be flattering but the money they offered back end of last season was'nt good enough to leave his job.
