I'll put it this way(especially for Bigal :wink:)

If and it's a big if we can get half a season out of Latu with the form he showed in the WC he will be worth every penny we have paid him. You could say Drew is doing the same this year after a fairly indifferent 2008.

Who knows, but we have potentially a very good player in Latu and he's going nowhere so we might as well hope for the best. :D

There'll be a few tough decisions to make for next season with players reaching the end of their contracts / sell-by date.


I couldn't agree more, I keep banging on about it but wingers are not as important as people make out IMHO. Sure a good specialist winger is a real asset but let's not kid ourselves it's a position most backs can handle if required. Grix and Gleeson can also cover the wings with reasonable ease as could young Potts at a pinch. I think Halley is excellent but I wouldn't dilute other positions to keep him or break the bank to buy/pay him.

Sad really because if Halley was a good a prop as he is winger I'd bite Bradfords hand off.

Id swap Rooney for him right now. Both have similar times left on there contracts and i am lead to believe JR is one of our top earners.
The money you would save on Jamies contract could quite easily cover DH salary and give JK a bit left over to go shopping for another forward.
A few players normally become available in the next few weeks when they realise they are not going to get the game time they think they deserve and clubs need to free up space as they need players in other positions ie like when we signed Adam (rip)

Think a few on here should give Peterson a break. He has hardly had any games where he has been fully match fit but i expect him to be more than a handfull for the opposition when 100%

And Latu going anywhere should be a non stater.
On another point does TLL contract run out at the end of the season? If so and we offer him a new one (hopefully) does he have to apply for a new visa??

Completely agree

:CLAP:






I don't care if we win, lose or draw as long as the team gives 100% every week and each player wears the shirt with pride.

Adam Knighton's Step wrote:However its still worth waiting on him to see if he can string some games together, his performance at the world cup displayed what a quality player he is. Rooney, on the other hand has also barely played over the last two seasons but believe that his best playing days are behind him.

To be fair though everyone looks like they are stealing a living when they are on the sidelines, the same could be said for Sculthorpe and Peterson among others.

And Peterson is an isse in the thinking behind Halley, is he going to play, and who will be the other winger? If Blanch leaves then we have Peterson and George Halley would have to be an option, however if he stays we still have our first choice wingers plus Halley as back up, plus, Tony Martin leaves and George is the cover back centre/wing for a development season (ie will probably play every game) with Gleeson becoming first choice centre, then we would still need another winger. Long story short, try and get him on loan for as long as possible then sign him off contract at the end of the year.


Thats fair enough, i would be happy to see Latu back in the team, i just have doubts on him thats all, i agree the same could be said for others and for some reason "it seems that some on here think i won't say anything wrong about Jamie because of the work done to help Brennan" but thats not the case and i am also dissapointed with his form.

Simple terms, value for money and i just don't see it in Latu.

i would say he will win you one game but lose you two more 8)
