Feka needs to be kept no doubts about it.

I'd seriously question the intelligence of any club, coach or owner who sold a player as devastating as Feka.

It's simple we lose Feka we lose any go forward we had in the pack.

Get him on a strict regime and he'll be the best impact prop in world RL

I can see Bailey moving into the centres next season, he is a steady pair of hands defensively and can pass a ball, plus with the likes of Joel, Mossop, Farrell we've plenty of cover in the 2nd row.

I do wonder whether Maguire has some inside information regarding the Storm pack, Johnson is already going to Catalans (supposedly) and if rumours about Watmough are to be believed I wonder if Melbourne are wanting rid of a couple of props. Think Lima and A.N.Other were mentioned on one of the Aussie sites last week. Hence why we're keen to free up space on the cap.

TBH as great as George has been the last two years I think we could cope for a season without him, then if Pryce or Goulding aren't cut out for the job we can offload Bailey, Pryce (OOC next season?) and get in a big name centre (Lyon is also OOC next season is he not?).

One other option is Gasnier who is apparently out of favour at Stade Francais and from watching them play Bath yesterday had a right stinker! Obviously there would be a transfer fee involved but IL has shown he's willing to do it the hard way.

(If we could get Sonny Bill too we'd be laughing!)

SBW hasn't played club rugby this year i don't think?

He seems to have dropped of the face of the earth rugby wise especially as a lot more focus has been on the Touloun club as a certain MR Wilkinson is there.

He's one of those few players who could walk onto any team in both the NRL and SL and automatically be one of their star players.

If he left we would be able to replace him with a quality forward.

Feka might be devastating for a couple of drives but his lack of mobility is a liability in defense.

Guess that is were we differ I think Feka is a quality player!

His weight is an issue you can't hide that fact but it's not a massive obsticle.

I'd only take Morley, Graham and Peacock over him from players in SL as I think he's that good. If he got fit he would be up at that level as well IMO

Key point highlighted.

Feka needs to get himself fit and lose two stone. Going forward he is very good (although some games this season he has gone missing) but defensively he has been dire. Teams can pick him apart. Warrington in the semi-final being the best example. If you're half a yard ahead of Feka your away. I can see why he isn't picked to represent any team at the international level.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In terms of George Carmont it is a no brainer. Sign him up!

FECA NEEDS TO LOSE 2 STONE OF FLAB AND BECOME THE MUSCLE BOUND RAMPAGING ANIMAL THAT WE SIGNED.

That's the key point Feka is unfit and is making big yards but yet he's majorly unfit! We need him 2 look like he did when he first signed as if he's making the yards now he'll be a major player for us when fit

Goulding's played about 50 games over the last 3 seasons or so. Why does he need yet another season to decide if he has a future? What are you hoping to see that he hasn't had enough time to deliver already?

Unless Pryce has a heart transplant, nothing is going to change there.

I'm hoping to see the level of performances he showed at Salford.

Regardless of people opinions on him he has played some very good rugby in a Wigan shirt IMO he's just not consistent enough.

I'm actually praying Maguire will get that consistency out of him as he's not a bad player!
