Spot on Cadoo and it’s something I’ve been thinking about more and more since IL mentioned that we aren’t looking at anyone for next season.

Honestly with my hand on my heart I’d rather have a new coach who can get the most out of our current players we have than sign any player in the world. A new coach is that important imo.

Wire have proven in the past that no matter how good your players are (Morley & King) if you’ve got a coach like Cullen or Lowes your not gonna see the best from them.

A new coach with a good knowledge of modern techniques who can constantly get the best out of his players but at the same time give a rollocking when it’s needed is more important to this team than any current player or potential signing we could make.

I still stand by a post I made a few months back saying we’ve got massive potential in the playing dept at this club with good established players like Richards and Gleeson mixing well with exciting club produced talent. But the major plus point is that all our current players can play much better than they are doing and that’s a fantastic position to be in.

Like you said Cadoo imagine what a new coach could do with the likes of Fielden, Roberts, Gleeson, Feka, Tommy, Richards, Joel and Piggy! Not all of those players have played particularly badly this season but a new coach could get sooooo much more out of them.

We talk about new signings but imagine if a coach could get more out of Feka and Riddell by being a little stricter with them. Or bulking up Fielden to the size needed to get him back to a decent level. Those three improvements would be the equivalent of a new front row at the club!!! It’s the same in other areas of the team as well were we’ve got the potential but it’s not maximised to its full effect.

A new coach that can raise the standard of not only the training but also the whole culture at the club is worth his weight in gold imo. We’ve got enough potential, youth and even experience in our side to be confident that we could see a marked improvement next season if the right guy was at the helm.

If i could sign two players from any club it would be :

Jason Ryles and either jamie peacock or Adrian morley

On the same note i have just noticed hull are to release king and thackray so that will probably be the actual level we end up signing.

two seasons ago i would have snapped Hulls hand off for King, Not sure anymore. Would a change of club and surroundings bring him back to his best. after he is playing a poor Hull team. With Hull giving him permission to speak to other clubs we could probably get away with not paying him out of his final year. Could worth a go for the right money. Thackray.... absolutely not !!!

You really think we need 2 naughty person props? I think we only need one to be honest.

I think we're 2 platyers away from being a Top 3 side:

Prop - Adrian Morley style.
Scrum Half - Dobson style.

imo we dont need two props.

prescott coley feka fielden o'carroll davis and 2 new props would make no sense from a buisness point of view.what would be the point of having 8props on the books??

i think if we brought 1 new prop in it would see ocarroll go out on loan then what happens with davis?the lad is getting rave reviews in the reserves and deserves a shot at first team.when would he get a chance in 1st team

Adrian Morley this year and LMS next year.

Rather have Burgess but he is going to Aus and no chance of Graham coming






Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.
