It was a shame us missing out on Ryles though.'"
Could be out for the rest of the season with damaged shoulder, I believe one of the reasons he wasn't signed was his poor injury record over the last few years.

True, but maybe we learned something from the Luke Davico episode.

Yeh that was a real shame Davico was a quality player and he was ace when he went playing for Newcastle.

| Get Lockyer signed up now, I would rather get rid of Bailey, Phelps, Smith and use all the money we can to sign him, no way on this earth would we have lost our first 3 if he was playing for us. Plus we would be challenging for honours.

Even he would struggle the way we play
Give Lockyer runners and he will show his class
Put Lockyer in our Wigan side atm and he will struggle because he will have no options
The prospect of him playing with and mentoring Sam Tomkins is a pretty mouthwatering thought

Its up to the 6 and 7 to get runners and if they dont give them a rocket, same with the captain, Lockers should be louder and more authoitive. The captain should be balling and shouting to get his team doing what they want, how many times did we look clueless last night with no runners and noone wanted it? Props taking a drive up the middle on the 4th tackle WTF?
Sign Lockyer and give him the captains armband!

If they don't practice with runners and set moves in training how the hell can you expect them to improvise it in a game
I think if we would have had more runners in 07 and 08 we would of seen an even better Trent Barrett as he had to rely on his running game more which teams had sussed out by 08

| We have too many average players in our team.
Get rid of Coley, Mathers, Bailey, Phelps and maybe even Smith and get in some top quality talent at 6 and play the youngsters and get a world class prop in.

Ive been thinking that since the Wakey game. Top class 6 and a world class prop and getting rid of the below average players you have stated.
Ainscough showed last night how poor the likes of phelps are.

Roberts
Ainscough
Carmont
Pryce
Richards
World class 6
Tomkins
World class prop
McIlorum
Fielden
Lockers
Hanson
Tomkins
Hock
Feka
Leuluai
Prescott
We could have a team like that and we would not be wasting money on too many overseas players.
8 players from the academy and also 2 English players.
and maybe 5-6 overseas depending on who the replacements were.

Catalans join the Bird hunt ![Wink icon_wink.gif](//www.rlfans.com/images/smilies//icon_wink.gif) 2 birds in the bush . 1 in the hand www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html A NEW twist has emerged in the Greg Bird saga, with French rugby league powerhouse Catalans the latest club interested in picking up the pieces of his career.
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal that Bird's management has been in discussions with the Super League club, in a bid to gain a backdoor entry to the competition.
The move is intended for Bird to bypass visa restrictions that have blocked him from entering the UK and taking up a three-year deal with English Super League club Bradford.
Catalans officials have confirmed their interest in Bird after manager Chris Orr contacted the Perpignan-based club last Friday

| think we need to thik more about building a team than star names
this side needs a couple of house enforcer types in the pack first and foremost. we also need some leadership and a couple of iron will characters (dean bell stuff)
would much rather construct a side than blow £s on lockyer.

| Fielden was put on his back all night by a set of 4 props that their combined total wages is probably less than Fieldens. Thats a big problem but this goes not just for Fielden but i believe Bailey is on an incredible wage. More time is needed to adjust the squad but IMO a few of the current overseas spots are a waste.
Phelps is no better than Goulding or Ainscough for 1 but plays before both.
Bailey is no better than Hansen and Tomkins but having so many good backrowers unbalances the 17.

what has happened to fielden, he is no more than an average prop now. i can't believe how many time we had him dumped on his ass friday. if it wasn't for fekka we'd of beaten you by 30 points easy!!!
