please no, deacon lost it years and years ago. He struggles in the worst bradford side i've ever seen, how would he even be a good short term option?

His injury record in the past couple of seasons has been shocking so i'd probably say no but i get where your coming from.

Sam/Leuluai are runners which would leave Deacon free to do the kicking/passing.

That was exactly what i was thinking, but only if we could also sign Myler.
It would be a risk, but no bigger one than bringing Newton back which some have advocated.

I loved Terry when he was at Wigan, but players never hit the heights they once did when the return to a former club (or it’s very rare they do). besides that, if we were to sign Terry we would have to get rid of Piggy and if we were to get rid of one underperforming hooker why would we take the risk in signing another possible underperformer. I just can’t see any benefits in signing him whatsoever.

As for Deacon, would he even want to come to Wigan? he has been at Bradford all his career and given the opportunity to finish where he started must be in his thinking.

saying that I know he is a Wigner and still lives here (never out of the Brocket!). so the attraction of playing for Wigan must be a draw also. Saying that would it be an attraction if he knew he was coming here to be a bit part player? I doubt it (then again this is all hypothetical’s)

I would have had him 3 years ago, but as Alex has said he is well past it and is constantly injured.

If we were to bring in a cheap halfback in order to help young Sam (and possibly Myler) then what about Brent Sherwin from Cas. I think he is a very under rated player. don’t know anything about his availability mind.

Mind you, I would be very happy if we were to forget about Myler and just try and sign Rangi Chase from Cas. Class act that lad

What we thinking then if we signed Myler and Deacon-

6-Deacon
7-Myler

9-Leuluai

17-Sam/McIlorum

To sign 2 halfbacks would seem a long shot even if Riddell wanted out(which i don't think will happen).

I think we should go all out for Myler tbh. If we can get the right quality of prop forward in and maybe keep Coley that will help the fact that we'll have a couple of inexperienced halfbacks in the 17.

i thought dobson had more to do with it to be honest !

Dobsons onfield displays were superb but just the lift that having Fielden in the team gave the rest of the players was invaluble imo.

They followed his lead.

which has now been unplugged

Ooo see what you did there.

i wonder how he thinks these things up!

From an outsider looking in, I thought Rads playing for nothing lifted the team, the club and the town more than anything else.

After the past 2 weeks I wouldn't want Myler.

Seems some of the main targets for next year have now been ruled out.

We identified 2/3 players for next year and the year after according to IL tonight on GMR.

Back to the drawing board chaps.

He played for Nothing!

2 bad games doesn't make him a bad player.

What your forgetting is that he is 19years old and is quite obviously the 'main player' at Salford who they look too to create something special, the one that the club wants to build around. Not only that but he is being touted as a future global superstar, the next GB half-back, a tag which many before him couldn't handle the pressure of.

If you ask me - that's an awful lot of pressure put onto this young man's shoulders and he has handled it fantastically well. If there was one reason alone to sign him, IMO the way he handles high pressure situations would be one for me.

Looks like Ben Ross isn't interested in coming over here. www.leaguehq.com.au/news/lhqnews ... 16806.html TF for that

From a Warrington player we have signed Morley for next year.

Could be a wind up but a swap with Fielden would go down well.

Tony Smith isn't mental as far as I know.

He didnt actually mention the swap deal I just added that for entertainment value

Would said Warrington player happen to be in the pack?

You dont want me to get an ex player into trouble do you

Ta very much

I can think of 4 players who once played for Wigan. Check your PM

Him

i would have him in a flash. how credible is your source???
