Exactly...in 14 games he's played this season he has scored 18 tries and assisted 19 so with a record like that in attack the odd try here and there to bad defence can be overlooked

That's one thing I'm very very impressed by, in the league (according to the SL website) 15 Tries with 17 assists! More assists than your HB's by 10 and 2 more tries than your best winger.

Where is Lomax playing with Barba getting the FB role?

FB - Barba SH - Richardson SO - Fages

George Ford

Currently on £450k at Leicester Tigers and a £22k match fee for England - hope someone has deep pockets and likes taking risks!!!

Not a chance Ford will come to SL anytime soon, especially with the world cup next year.

Personally, I'd rather Rugby League thinks twice before re-signing any player who goes over to Union. We are their little safety net when the coin and internationals dry up. How often will we get value for money from a returnee? It seems to me we get someone on a huge salary, who is slower and less tactically aware than before they left.

Kyle Eastmond would get into almost every Super League team. He could partner Gareth Widdop for England at the next World Cup.

There's no evidence Eastmond would make a half decent SL player in any position, let alone halfback.

That would be a big gamble by Wire taking on a player who is injury prone and has a weak temperament, think he has only played 20 games in 2 years and has missed quite a few games through bad discipline.
