Oh Ok Gib i saw him in a couple of games before he got injured hernia ? then did a bit of search of him saw a few highlights looked ok to me but sounds like you have seen a lot more of him so ill go with your advice Whats your opinion on Anthony Mullally from Huddersfeild he looks a big unit ??

A big unit yeh, runs good lines as well actually for a big guy, knows his way to the line, could be worth a punt at 23 YO, definitely has the athleticism and size (196cm 111kg) his height doesn't slow him down either.

If we were to look towards super league for an answer to the forwards though then top of my list would be the Warrington prop forward Chris Hill. 190cm and 111kg. Can do big stints in the middle, aggressive runner and just reaching his prime as a prop forward at 27 YO. This guy would be cheap, and a big hit I have no doubt. You may have seen him play for England? He's the stand out candidate for me.

BUT - back on to halves. I think in general the SL is in short supply supply of quality halves full stop. Forwards sure, but I wouldn't bother looking for the halves answer there.

So if hiku and Lyon are in the halves
Our centres and wingers will be? We have 1 third of the cap to spend big names will be arriving. And this elgy kid is not going to be getting paid big bucks.

I'm not a troll, but i WILL get to LOL when kearney signs. Sounds like if it's something you don't like i must be trolling, i have been reading posts on here for years and the only reason i joined was because i'm pissed at losing our 2 most valuble players, and by the way if i have 2 brains that is still twice as many as you.

If you're not a troll you should tell us where you got your information.
Besides, I'd be very confident it's a bad source, Matai doesn't like Kearney, it certainly wouldn't be a reason he re-signed. Their disdain for each other is the reason why Matai hasn't played for NZ since 2010, despite being their best centre. Unless you believe Simon Mannering and SKD deserved their spots ahead of Matai in 2011 and 2012.

So true, we must have faith. The only thing that will pull us down this year is if what i got told becomes a reality, and that is that Tooves may not last the season but will definately be gone for 2016 and that he WILL be replaced by Steve Kearney. I can't tell you where i got this info from but i can tell you it was the major reason that Matai re-signed for 2 more years, apparently he wanted Kearney. Im hoping this is not true otherwise we will be f...........d.

no one proposed the idea of Hiku and Lyon pairing up together, it's always been one or the other, playing outside a specialist half back.

Yeah correct. I was saying Hiku on tackles 0-4 then Killer and him switch for the 5th to take advantage of Killers short kicking game (grubbers in goal especially). Get the best of both in that situation (provided Hiku develops the ball playing skills)

Yeah Gib just watched the wolves game and that Hill goes well but i saw that he signed till 2019 and recently knocked back the NRL and Ratchford went ok too but he too is signed long term anyways just thought to throw a few guys in the mix dosent hurt to look far and wide sometimes
 
He had arguably the best forward pack of the modern era to work with and did absolutely nothing. I pray we don't sign him. Missed the tackles on feleti for the try too
 
He was terrible, every kick went straight down the throat of Blair. Mbye was very impressive though.
 
Please don't buy Hodkinson. He was rubbish in 2010. Once he left and dce turned up we won the comp. he is so slow and with his knees he will get slower.

I thought mbye was crap as well.

Dogs seem to have the wood on us. Most times we play them they seem to get all the luck
 
I don't think anybody really wants the kid back. But there ain't many 7's on the open market. He's the best option to replace DCE at this stage.
