We need a prop in my opinion but Wood is not the answer. We need a leader and a big personality Wood is not that. To be honest cant think if anyone in SL that fits the bill and that would be available. If we sign Wood, what was the point of letting Fielden go?

Paul wood is no pack leader and that's what we are short of.

Ho hum signing if it turns out to be him.






What's the rumpus, Tom?

If a fees involved it could be someone who doesn't appear to be available a la Fielden when he signed.

True but to get a top class prop a six figure sum would be required and it wouldn't start with a "1" either. Can't see IL splashing that much cash and in any case it would be pretty crazy for any other club who has such a prop to be selling him one game into the season. The best props are at the best clubs who have ambitions of glory. I don't know of any top props at a cash strapped club who would could prize away with a wadge of cash.

If there is anything in this I can only see it as a prop of the level of Wood and I don't see the point of that. Wane said himself "“If someone is available who we like then we’ll take a look, but I can honestly say there’s no-one right now who stands out.”

It doesn't necessarily need to be a prop but we do need a forward with more aggression.

The halves and Thornley looked promising on Friday so hopefully we will feel more positive about the centre and halfback positions as the season progresses.

The only club now without a wealthy benefactor is Castleford. It has been suggested they are around £2.5m in debt so one would suspect they may be tempted by a cash offer for one of their players.
Their best prop IMO by far is Craig Huby, 26 years old and a reasonable goal kicker too. They'd certainly want real or even unreal money for him.
The other prop would be Keith Mason, aged 30 and we all know about him. With Hock and Fielden gone it might work.
Otherwise it maybe London where we'd look and to me Kaufusi is a big man. Can put it about too. Think he's about 28.

Huby and Kaufusi would be better than Wood although it may take some cash to free them up.

I'd take Lopini Paea from Catalans, big aggressive prop which we need, maybe even take a punt on Simon from Catalans, he's a big lad.






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.

Australian press hinting that Sam's representatives are sounding out an NRL club for next season. Can't say I'm surprised, but it does make a mockery of the "not speaking to other clubs for 3 years" comment. Only small consolation would be a large fee and/or player exchange? (You never know, Billy Slater may fancy a gap year!)

Phil Wilkinson Tweeted "Rumours are true, Wigan are keen to sign Warrington prop Paul Wood - deal is not done yet (& would be surprised if it happened before Fri).".

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.
