*Think Rinaldi is going so therefore it Tommy Lee could have an important part to play at Hooker.

If we manage to keep Morrison..play him at 13 and Howarth at 6.

Get rid of Korky and remove Lee from 6 or 7 and never let him near those positions again and I'm happy.

Howarth is a very promissing who I think could go a long way in the game but there is no way he is a half back.

Keep King and rid of Korky?

I am sure he played at 6 at Wigan. I hope jonh is online to back this up and also summarise his performance at 6

Starting pack too light for me and I agree that Lee should be nowhere near 6/7 and probably not 9 either. Other than that what a big difference 12 months makes to the squad

What if Tongia doesn`t cut the mustard in the 4 games left, will be left with Tony as 1st choice FB with Vievers as back-up? I know we`ve got Murphy but I think he`s better at centre.

Don't let NGB4C hear you saying that

I agree, but I just have a little feeling that we wouldn't fly him 12000miles for 4games, and as reported we are already in talks for an extended 2year deal!

That said, we flew Laeano and Winterstein over at the same stage of the season in recent years and they moved on sharpish!

Still think we are short of a big prop, a 6 and a 13 if Morro goes. I appreciate we have Wildie and Davey for the halfs but I think as Moore will probably be our first choice starting 7 we need a bit more experience there, more so if Morrison does go.

Give Tommy Lee a shot at his natural position, power to start with and then rotate with the much more nimble Ellis.

I'm guessing putting someone who is not a prop and has left us for Widnes at number 8 was a mistake??

Paul Johnson perhaps?

You are correct sir, daft error rushing at dinnertime. Ammended, thanks

If Morrison doesn`t re-sign who will captain us next season, I can`t see an obvious choice in the above, thoughts?

James Elston

He's doing everything else so why not


[iPs. No disrespect meant to everyone else who's working so hard[/i

Possibly Murphy, purely for how he plays the game and to reward his loyalty at the beginning of the season. I know he’s not the greatest orator, but I can’t see any other choice unless the vacant 6 position is filled by an experienced player.

Howarth perhaps another option. I believe he captained the Wigan reserves.

Big Frankie?

He has the right mentality for me in terms of how he plays the game - not sure about his communication skills though.

Smurph, bless him, would be too embarrassed.

Good job that we bumped off hudds in getting the signature of Walshaw, would have been a shame to have seen him at hudds.

Well done Walshaw and club. Hopefully he will work hard and figure next season at some point.

He's a great prospect - reminds me a bit of Rhys Evans at Wire and used properly, could have a similar impact.

Actually know Josh an he aint the sulking type,Just one of the the young new breed of Proffesional Athletes.He moved north with his whole family when he was just a kid to help his brother settle.He loves his rugby an he loves life up north,but rugby dont last forever.

I agree. Ive met him a few times and he always come across as bright and professional.
Plus he loves his time at Wakey and has always denied signing with Crusaders.
Chinese whispers and all that IMO.

I think Korky is without a club at the end of the season, his loan to us as part of the Brough deal brought him to the end of his 3 year contract at Hudds.

Just got back from two weeks in Cuba and everything has gone mad. Riots everywhere and we are signing players. Brilliant news (the signings not the riots).

So what if he did though? Why on earth would he not of done given the chance he's only young can't imagine he's got a nest egg to fall back on had we been a goner. He was ok early dooors and has fallen off a bit. Not convinced he's a centre or winger but it's hard to tell where anyone plays best in a poor side sometimes. He seems willing though and I wouldn't be disappointed if he were here next year

I agree, but some on here seemed intent to slate him for something not that out of order
that he didnt actually do!
FWIW He's very keen to stay at Wakey and I would be happy to keep him.
