One of them hasn't even played so you can't really judge him yet, the other is a slightly less dramatic version of Fielden but yes he has been poor. However I was just using them as examples of players who were playing rep footy and came over to SL. If you think that because Matt King has been poor in SL then Terry Campese will therefore be poor in SL then I need say no more. Are you also saying that we shouldn't sign any rep aussie players?

Stop talking crap

Reckon IL gunna pay that much?

If your not going to answer my posts properly then why the f*ck should I answer yours

You start asking stupid questions you'll get stupid questions in reply

I asked those stupid questions because you made a stupid point so I thought I would keep with the theme

Yeah you made good examples of players who will come over.

Crocker didnt even get over

and King - yeah hes also great

Zero chance anybody whose gotta a chance of playing for Australia or SoO coming over unless you move heaven and earth to get them here and IL aint gunna do that so moving on,,,,,

Its all gone quiet in WN7.

Is the likes of Pryce staying ? I would have thought the Gleeson signing would mean the release of some fringe players to SL or NL clubs.

Anything concrete up yonder?

Talk about causing an argument out of nothing. All he did was gave a couple of examples of players who were willing to come to SL.. No need to get arsy about it.

Looks like the deal is off

Just noticed that Justin Poore is off contract, the St George prop. A player I rate highly and the right age (25-26). On the fringes of the Australian team last year and someone who will improve further. Would be worthwhile to enquire about him in my opinion.

Good post on VT with a link to a list of NRL players off contract at the end of the season. www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/s ... 66,00.html Ben Ross anybody?

Aye, I'm pretty sure the Panel where singing their praises for him on the Footy show aswell either this weeks just gone or last week.

Myler linked with Wigan according to the somebody on the Salford board

Was thinking about this lad earlier this week, class player...would have him within a shot!

Heres hoping

Myler's great and would be a good addition to the squad.
For heaven's sakes we need Props! Even today very few tackle busts from our props.
Wakey, Saints then Wakey in the cup.
We will have to play a whole lot better than today if we are to get anywhere near a result against in those three games.

Yeah, decent prop, I've posted on here many a time about Poore too.

Didn't Ben Ross nearly end up in a wheelchair in March after tackling someone? A bulging disk in his neck on a nerve nearly made disabled, I doubt he will play again after that injury.

Starting XIII

Fullback - Richards (Love to see Karmichael Hunt, but don’t think IL will be getting a good $ rate compared to the £).
Winger - Roberts
Centre - Glesson
Centre - Carmont
Winger - Ainscough/Richards (If we sign an FB)

Halfback - Orford/S. Tomkins
Scrumhalf - Leuluai/S. Tomkins

Prop - O’Carroll
Hooker - Riddell
Prop - Paleaaesina

Second Row - Hock
Loose Forward - O’Loughlin
Second Row - Hansen

Subs
Fielden
J. Tomkins
Coley
S. Tomkins/Leuluai/Riddell (Which ever doesn’t start)

Back-up
T. Smith (A lot of talent there)
Mossop
Prescott
Farrell
Ainscough
Davies

Loan
Goulding
McIlorum
Pryce
Flanagan

If we get the backline sorted first, then the forwards once Fielden as left/retired. I think our 6 and 7 are abit young, and we need someone with a lot of experience, that’s why I’d bring Orford in. Tomkins and T. Smith, would benefit greatly from him. With Leuluai learning from Riddell, to take the helm of that role in the future.
I think Phelps and Richards fill the Fullback role well but they lack the real FB knowledge of positioning and communication with the wingers, always at risk of the good old 40-20, the little chip over the top, stuff like that.
Once the mighty Fielden as gone, then we’ll have the money to sign a decent GB prop or even two! And concentrate on the forward pack to start trying to match the Saints/Leeds/Catalan size.
Please don’t laugh but, once Carmont as gone, I think he’ll be replaced by Pryce, and him and Ainscough, I believe will be future GB numbers 4 and 5. High hopes, but the talent throughout the Wigan side is there!!

I beg IL to pay whatever it takes to get Darren Lockyer over here. Perhaps offer Fielden as part of a swap deal...

fielden wouldnt even get in a toyota cup side at the moment

Hasn't he stated on the 'Footy Show' he wants to finish his career over there??

Im not sure we can take a risk with 2 young half backs in the team although I would love to.
