This. If we're going to compete up at the top we need to honestly ask ourselves what players we have that the teams that consistently finish above us would want. These are the players we need to retain and build a team around IMO.
However, if we are to wield the ax on certain players we need to make sure we have someone better lined up to replace them. It's easy enough saying that players A, B and C should go but if their replacements are just more of the same then we won't have improved. Finding those better players will be the tricky part.

Can't see Cookie's return going down well. I personally have moved on but I know there's still a lot of FC fans out there that don't want him anywhere near the club again.

Leeds' back line is scary good, but take Yeaman out and put Sa in and I don't think our backs are that far behind the other 3.

| Salford have signed Kevin Locke, really shocked and an unbelievable signing for SL and Salford.
Also expected to announce another big signing for the 2015 season.
Say all you want about Koukash, but he is certainly brining excitement and the spotlight to our game. Putting his money were his mouth is also.

He is just signing individuals and not a team.I personally couldn't care less what he is upto and he will soon bugger off.

Personally I'd like to see BJB and Sa complete our 3/4's. Rankin has the making of a quality 6 but it's that number 7 I'm sure we need. I like Miller and really want him to do well but I still remain unconvinced when you see what Walsh can bring to the table at saints. Thats to kind of 7 we're crying out for.

Probably the same way Dr Kashkow has persuaded a 25yr old International to ply his trade in front of one man and his dog in Trafford centre carpark.

I'd have to agree. The last time we finished above Saints in the league was in 2004 and they do make more finals than we do even if they have been off the boil a bit in recent seasons.

Who would you drop for BJB? Shaul, Talanoa or Lineham? Or have him as back up? Doubt he'd come as that.

According to The Dentist's Diary, We were in for Walsh & Chase, but were outbid, could see same scenario ,with Dobson.
Another rumour is, we're after is Leuluai, which IMO- isnt the answer.

Talanoa I'll give you, because of his lack of pace, but I wouldn't swap Shaul or Lineham for BJB.

I wouldn't say Talanoa or BJB are better or worse than one another. Talanoas pace isn't ideal and his only real let down imo apart from that he's pretty spot on. BJB isn't exactly lightening fast either but hasn't got the work rate or aggression Talanoa has.
BJB would get game time though seeing as Lineham misses plenty of games due to injury.

Be a great signing, certainly need another winger unless Crookes proves us all wrong in the next few games.

| I don't like to have too much money tied up in wingers though. Lineham and Talanoa are both good wingers and would be ahead of BJB imo. I'd rather give one of the youngsters a chance insted of spending a wedge on BJB for him to warm the bench.

Without a doubt. I just think he'd be too good to have as a squad member same goes for the other two. There all too good not to be first choice. Sign him, great signing but sign him and he barely plays. We've got a player who'll be on big money not playing and probably frustrated. Don't get me wrong I'd love us to sign him just can't see it happening. I think we'll stay as we are with wingers.
Shaul
Talanoa
Sa
Crooks
Lineham
Is very good, just need out halves to settle and I think we've got a very good team imo.
