Myler to Warrington
Orford to stay where he is.

Agree with you there.

Unfortunately there aren't any quality half backs around of a good age and we so desperately need a general half back to lead us around the field for us to move forward as a side.

Contracts CAN be broken but the deal has to be a good one for the selling club so we would need IL to reach deep into his pockets for someone of the very top quality.

All of the 3 highlighted would be absolutely perfect for us. Dobson has just signed an extension so it seems unlikely. Maybe if IL could persuade Justin Morgan to be our next coach Dobson may want to follow him? Soward is an outstanding young player with one of the best kicking games in the world, but it would be a suprise to me if he doesn't get to play rep rugby in the near future. Cronk, for me, is ideal, good age, undoubted class, every attribute we are looking for. He's done everything at Melbourne and because he is behind Lockyer, Thurston and Prince at Origin level he isn't going to get a game there, neither for the Australian national side. It would take a really big sum to get him here but there is no doubt he would be worth it.

soward has an italian background .growing up in waggawagga nsw country town , he could play for italy

IL would really have to work his magic to sign Cronk, but he would be exactly what we need.

I have stated before that I think Finch or Head are more likely, but not as good as Soward or Cronk.

I really can see us with Tommy at 7 next season.

He's just signed a new contract and we already have McC and Riddell cover 9.

I personally don't want this, but I see it as the likely future.

I've said it more than once and I'll say it again - Wigan won't win a thing whilst Leuluai is at 7.

Do you think Finch or Head would be good enough? not seen a lot of Head this year but Finch has still been overshadowed by Cronk.

If we couldn't get someone who fits the bill would it be worth waiting until the end of next season and sticking with Tommy at 7 so there is more likely to be the right player available?

If Myler stays at Salford he will be off contract and then him and Sam could be old enough. I don't know which NRL half backs are off contract but there is bound to be a few about

Wasn't Matthew Head at Hull FC a few years ago?
Sure there was someone of that name playing for them.
Went back to Aus as he was always injured and hardly ever played.

he was there for a short spell, went back to aus to the tigers i think?

Yeah youre right. the only thing i remeber about him was him saying pre match about how he was not going to let his friendship with Barrett interfere with his performance etc etc. Barrett said nothing in the buildup and duely Smashed Head into next week with a massive shot!
