There are 13 other teams in Super League that will be looking eagerly towards the Storm and their situation. Add to that in the other NRL clubs we have very limited chance of competing with one sides.

The one thing I'm proud of is that I see all these other clubs exploiting loopholes and signing up Australians and yet Cas are building towards an all-English team.

I didn't solely mean Melbourne, however I do feel we could have exploited their downfall a little.

My point was more that we have only signed one new player for next year. I was hoping for 2 or 3 at this stage, as like you say, there are 13 other teams competing for players from here and Australia

No thanks.

Feka is a good 10minute impact player. That's it, other than that I wouldn't bother with him

Bet some of our more "chunky" forwards would be pleased if he signed,they'd feel slim next to him

Huby has shifted a lot over the course of this season. Watched him training yesterday. Hopefully this is the start of a change.

He has shifted some "timber",but it hasn't effected his strength,as big charlie will testify

Sarge is looking more streamline too,and put in a good stint yesterday

Wigan have announced a trio of signings from Melbourne Storm

It is concerning me that we don't have anyone other than Mathers signed up for next season. Why aren't we taking advantage of Melbournes downfall?

If we don't act quickly we will find ourselves in the same situation we have for the past few seasons. Leaving it too late and ending up with players like Clayton!

Dont expect alot for next season, or you will be dissapointed

Re: New signing for 2011 : Mon Jul 19, 2010 4:15 pm  

Huby is our top forward this season.
He is just at the right age 26 for a forward to mature.

I cant believe how good he has got this season, looks leaner and faster....has a good off load. Most of all he's showing a lot of passion on the field. Our next captian maybe.

He will be better than Lynch, he's got alot of years in front of him yet

Craig Huby is 24, not 26.

Still got another 7/8 years in him yet. Only 2(?) years off his testimonial season, this being his eighth.
