i just think he needs to be signing a younger stand off, breirs isnt going to be still playing i wouldnt have thought by the time the franchise comes round and even if he is he would possibly only stay with us for 1 super league season even if he was still playing.

we need to be looking at younger options if you look at our squad the main bulk of our playmakr options are young enough to still have a good few seasons in them by the time the franchise comes around and i think that is what matt needs to be building for, i just dont think a player his age no matter how good he is is worth the money we would undoubtably have to pay for him when he wont be around for the franchised which is what we would ideally want.
