Don't think we're gonna make any top class signings tbh. Ellis apart.

For mine,I wouldnt renew Russell's loan.

Play Horne at FB for the rest of the season, lets start building for next season.

I listened to Shaun Wane's interview, said his young players, cant wait to get to training, and are hell bent trying to improve.

Think, we need an influx of young players with the same attitude.

Flies in the face of what gentle has been saying we need.

Add in those players plus a decent prop and probably a lesser one and we really haven't gone forward at all in replacing mckinnon, turner, sharp, manu, o'meley and moa

Agree Jake.

AP stated he wanted us, to be challenging for honours, the above pivots,Kearney and Holdsworth
wont achieve that - imo. -Also if AP wants to attract 15k crowds, he needs to get out his cheque book and sign players who will put bums on seats, ie Rangi Chase - not Brett Kearney and/or Daniel Holdsworth.

He was my motm last week .

If you've got FC Live, watch it again and he won't be. He was completely lost under kicks, he dropped 2 simple passes in good attacking positions and slowed the attack down.
I like Matty Russell. He's got potential, and he's keen. But if I was Shaun Wane, I'd recall him before his confidence is ruined.

I can't understand why people were raving about him after last week. Must have been watching a different game to me,. Some people see a player making a couple of decent runs and completely forget about all of the errors

Re: Matty Russell : Sun Jun 10, 2012 9:56 pm  

He's shocking in an attacking line, the ball gets to him and he just palms it backwards.

I don't think he'll ever be good enough to play full back in this league tbh.

I agree but I would stress these are only rumoured signings. If we can attract a good six and prop from the NRL then add some SL players I'd be happy.
