There you are, McGoldrick IS the answer, solid as a rock.... between the ears.

Moore will probably be one which I'm ok with. Need one stand off of good quality , tongia and a rop or two and I'm happy.

We do need cover in the centres. George has gone ( signed for Hudds many months ago, funny how he was not able to play in the last games ), I also understand that the youth coaches at Huddersfield are saying that Murphy is in their sights. They have not dropped their interest and we all know that Ken always gets his man.

I suspect Moore, Wildie, Obst (if he's returning) will take up the slack with another signing. You may also have to accept Agar may hold Lee in high regard and keep him as a H/B.

Ellis, Wilkes, Fox all really good signings, Lauititi too you could add as well. Cockayne (whilst there is clearly a negative aspect) and James (if they do arrive) would be reasonable signings - as would Dowes if he came - in my opinion of course.

For me it appears we are bringing someone in potentially for the sake of it simply becuase they are available and from Oz. Overseas signings should be restricted to a minimum in my opinion and kept for pivotal playes. Can't see much justification for signing a mediocre import in a non key position that we appear to have enough cover at.

Stefan Marsh
Jordan Tansey
Karl Pryce
Matty Blythe

All the above rumoured to have been available for next year, all would have been a potentially reasonable options for the 3/4 instead of an import that struggles to get a gig in the NRL.

Weve been looking at a young kiwi half called isaac john

If that is the case so be it, but he see's his contract out end of story for me - even if that's with a sick note. We simply can't keep letting players go to any team let alone Hudds, it's now a matter of principle for me and I'm generally a pragmatic kind of person.

Anything but Lee at Half Back..

Seems a bit strange to me a coach signing a player for one club whilst managing another did Agar have this lad in his sights as a future FC player or wasnt he good enough for them.

Where Hull after him but not really bothered if he didnt go to them and Gentle has his own targets which doesn't include Collis..

Seems a weird situation for me.

Can't go with that I'm afraid, we are threadbare in the backs.I agree it's not the most important position but if we are to challenge it needs filling. I really don't get how a 25 year old 100+ NRL player cannot be considered a good signing. Forget the position as I assume Agar has his plans for other positions, look at the player - screams quality (relative to ourselves).

I think we assume that because he's an Aussie he is the Marquee signing when he may well not be - assuming there is one. It's a bit of half empty v half full.

I really don't see Agar as a sign any old player kind of Coach I really don't.
