There will be a big clear out at warrington at the end of the season, this is were we could pick up a couple, but who? my preference would be for gleeson and [size=59Briers[/size

Jesus god know.............over-rated and a bloody liability off the pitch.

sometimes a change of scenery can do you good, i expect a lot to disagree but the guy has undoubted talent.

What did I say on Friday night?!

For being a pr1ck.

We are in need of a world class half back, Briers is not one of them! Would rather have Thorman!

Should have took the 2pts when we had a penalty................and scored a try off the resulting set.

If Crocker is a no for this season I'd like to see him here next were the visa and deal clear cut for then. In the mean time the last thing we want to do is rush out and get anyone unless they are a top drawer back. Don' waste our money on anything less. I expect Lauaki to be a star when he arrives. His signing is sod all to do with spin or replacing Crocker he replaces Carvell which Crocker didn't. Top class full back or centre or no one for me.

Fair enough. We all have off days. Look at Craig Hall, for instance.

Briers is rumoured to be off to Barrow on loan and someone we shouldn't be looking at ,at this stage of his career.

then what happens if his Visa arrives monday

You mean 1 of our better players in the 2nd half....or the boy wonder on other wing dropping passes,G.Horne being crap in defence...i can go on.

Knowing our luck we'll hold out for Crocker in 2010 and he'll get done for speeding in November leaving us back in square one.

What is your problem with Briscoe?

We should bide our time and see who becomes available later in the season. We need a top class 1/2 back to partner Horne because thorman is the epitome of averageness

Or even better, gets done for speeding on his way to his first training session and has his visa revoked!

been thinking this myself!

Your opinion of course but that is way too harsh in my view. Bradford game comes to mind. Not a world beater but better than average.

He's not a clone of Craig Hall.

I'd say 1 decent game in 6 is average, or maybe below average. I'm undecided.

Fair enough. We've complained about a lack of kicking game for years and when a bloke comes along who isn't perfect but creates a couple of tries a game from kicks it should be recognised as a positive contribution in my book.

His defence has been poor and his kicking in general play has been shocking most of the time. He looks slow and (bradford game apart), has created little with ball in hand. If you feel he's the man to take us to the next level then fair enough. Personally, I don't

Deep field kicking has not been as good as I'd hoped for sure. Attacking kicks have been excellent - his bombs come down with ice on regularly causing serious bother for the opposition and his grubbers are excellent. His defence has been no worse than Rich Horne's in my view. Not saying he's international class but he is better than average and better than what we have had available - Dykes was a great player but mostly unavailable as we all know. If he's replaced by a world class hb I'll be as chuffed as the next man but we are a better team than last year because we have 2 hb who complement each other.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. As I said on one of the locked threads, this is a pretty big decision for the UKBA and while it could come tonight it may be another few days at least. If they refuse it again it could mean open season on people with convictions. If approved it could mean people like Eastwood and Carney trying to jump on the "bandwagon", so they have to be careful to get it "right" from their perspective. Not sure if it still happens but the decison could have been sent back to the UK for a senior official to decide.

Of course they may divert the team coach to Heathrow on Saturday to pick Michael up......

Think that you are being a bit harsh for this season. however, am not sure he is the 7 to take us to the next level.
