Quality is needed

New proven quality coach
Quality 7

The next halfback is the most important. That's why I wouldn't rush to sign a second rater now. If we can't get a top flight one for next year then we should strengthen where we can and focus on the best 7 we can get for 2021.

Otherwise we'll end up with two halves of lui's standard for at least another year. I'd rather accept mid table and get rid of more dross.

Brock Lamb signed til the end of the year with London. Relegation rivals significantly stronger? I don't know anything about him.

I could be wrong but this is starting to look like Myler may still be here in 2020, and we'll run with what we've got and hope McLelland comes through.

We have successfully offloaded a few players who were under contract, but it's not an easy thing to do.

We'll have more wriggle room if they go for the third Marquee option.

There is some pretty serious recruitment going on around us (including players we're being linked for and missing). I would be worried for us again next year without some key new signings AND some improvement in our academy prospects coming through.

Also starting to think there might be weight to the Gale to Leeds rumours. We may as well get McShane back while we're at it!

Smart move from them. Shows that they believe they can still get above us (or someone).

I'm starting to think Gale is on his way to us

Wasn't Lamb supposed to be the next big thing in Australia when he was at the Knights? Seem to remember Roopy was on here praising him at the time

So it’s official, George Burgess to Wigan 2020 on a three year deal. Who is actually going to be left for us? Also London got a decent little number with Brock Lamb, I rate him. All I can say is, I damn well hope Kev and Gary have a plan!

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Jul 28, 2019 6:20 pm  

Leeds have really lost out on a number of quality additions over this last couple of years and ended up with the lower end recruits, Burgess literally said come and get me to leeds before this season, how have wigan got in there. Really not feeding from the top table anymore. Looking at the signings Sts Warrington Wigan have made it'll be a good few years yet where they'll be anywhere near, mid table would even be on the optimistic side.

No doubt we will have some scraps that we can throw to you
