Barrow is just a smokescreen - he'll be our star halfback signing :)

Why should I renew my season ticket will be a question asked to IL at the next fans forum then?

We need a new six/seven. Sam Tomkins can play both but is better at seven. Either way we need a world class leader in the halves who is experienced and can lead us around the field.

We need one maybe two tough prop forwards who will bully opposition in the middle of the pack. Experience is also vital. There is plenty of quality available at the moment. We should be looking to sign someone up now.

Leuluai must be moved to nine and due to the Riddell signing unless we want to try and loan McIlorum for a couple of years till Riddell's contract runs out we have to get rid I am afraid because at this stage he simply is not good enough.

We should pay compensation to Fielden/try to offload him/hopefully he retires - anything. He must leave the club as soon as possible. He is not good enough for the wage he is on and is hampering our recruitment at the moment as well as the performances on the field.

We need a new coach NOW. Brian Noble's contract most likely will not be renewed at the end of the season. If it is I wont renew my season ticket. Too much money to waste on a side poorly coached going nowhere. Our only wins have come against two poor sides in Celtic Crusaders and Salford. A lucky pass from Randall at Harlequins and a completely shocking Bradford Bulls side. We have lost to Castleford at home (who finished bottom last season) Wakefield (who had out half a side) and Huddersfield. We lost to the team that finished one above the bottom Hull FC away. Got smacked against Leeds. Could not take our chances against Saints and got thumped against Catalans. Not good enough.

If he is given a new contract I would have to really consider whether or not to renew my season ticket.

Hopefully he isn't and we seek a new direction from an NRL coach as sadly the British coaches in this country are average at best.

We don't want Adrian Lam to take over either.

I really hope your right, would love to see an Aussie coach take over (because Edwards is a no go at the moment :() Brian Smith or somebody like that would get us sorted I reckon. 2 props, world class half back, keep bringing youngsters through and hopefully we won't be too far wrong :D

Tomkins and Myler as soon as next season? No thanks.

In 3 or 4 seasons time, undoubtedly yes, however I feel having these two as our starting half backs will just put too much pressure on them while they are too young.

If we were to run with these two then we'd need to significanlty improve the props.

I feel the back rowers would be okay; Hock, Hansen, J Tomkins and O'Loughlin are all strong enough in defence to be able to protect the halves and all can run some excellent lines and would benefit massively from some better quality distribution from the halves (and Tommy at dummy half). I also like to see O'Loughlin link up with Tomkins and Myler as he has begun to this season with Sam.

However, if we ran with the same props as this season, we'd be battered and such young and inexperienced halves would be completely ineffective.

Three or four seasons down the line will be too late IMO. It is now or never.

As it says in the now edited post above, to run with Myler and Sam at 6 and 7 and fail to significantly inprove the pack would be suicide.

These two would need so much protection in the first season or two its unture.

That said, if we could improve prop forwards then yeh, without doubt go for it.

For me, it all hinges on whether we are able to offload Fielden to another club. If we can't, then I fail to see how we could have Sam and Myler protected when our experienced, supposedly mian prop is getting brushed aside as easily as he is.

Equally we couldn't just not play Fielden, or else we'd have to get another youngster in there, and it wouldn't be fair to say to Davies for example he has to be the 'big man' in his first season.

If we can ship Fielden out and get a sh*thouse from Aus, then great.


FWIW, although I have been really impressed with COley's improvement this season, I am taking it for granted that we will replace him already.
