It isnt a fixation Chissitt at all.

If you have read my more recent posts, I am more than happy with Miller and Hampshire. They are also young and can only get better.

Also, i am not alone in the thought, we need a more of an organising half. Even our head coach has expressed the fact we are looking for quality half back.

If one of these two got a bad injury in the opening rounds of next year, or one, ir even both lost their form, we could struggle. Most top 4, or potential top 4 sides have cover and options in all positions.

First of all I notice you haven't commented on Littlejohn's performance in kicking us to death and out classing our backs.

If you are more than happy with those two why are you continually throwing the names of others into the mix whether they take up a quota spot or not.

Not sure if you've noticed or not but we actually have cover for all positions and in some areas better than those of these alleged top four sides.

Just for the record Chissitt, the last I heard in the chippy was about Pauli coming over weeks before it was announced, and secondly, i havent been in the chippy since Easter.

If you also look at other peoples comments, I am not the only poster who believes we need the extra half back.

It wasnt me, if you look back who started this thread, nor was it me, who mentioned TH to start with.

As for stories on FB etc, Chester was interviewed by James Deighton, a well respected rugby league journalist, and Chris Chester did state in that int erview they were looking at a top quality half backs, so even our head coach believes we do. He even mentioned a player, and then said he was out of their price bracket,or was this just some so called rumour.

Think Chissitt's missing Vasty?

Nah, vasty talks sense and doesn't rely on other peoples alleged opinions to make his point

You don't need the chippy now you've got facebook and twitter for the gossip, true you aren't the only person on here what KNOWS we need competition for the halfback pairing, but not all on here are desperate to put forward any name what might or might not be available, talking of which you still haven't made a comment on Jack Littlejohn who kicked us to death and outplayed us single handedly, players and coaches alike will say anything bar their prayers when asked questions, thought you'd have learned that by now.

Think he must be Wollo, theyve has one or two spats in the past.

Just watched the highlights, and yes we beat ourselves at times there, but Littlejohn had a hand in 3 of those tries, and all came from kicks. One he chased his own kick down, and forced the error from Finny.

Yes we have, and every one was when I misguidedly tried to defend your opinion to post the rubbish you did, talking of which Littlejohn made 3 kicks all of which resulted in tries from our mistakes not from his fantastic kicks as you would have us believe, rumour has it you need to go to specsavers lad.

Thanks for defending me, but I am old enough, big enough and ugly enough to defend myself.

I already go to Specsavers. Maybe when my next appointment is due, I should look through the designs of the specs and look for some rose tinted ones
