I'd love us to sign some really aggressive players. Scott Moore leaving has left an enormous hole in our side. Wigan will beat us on Saturday just by being more aggressive and more ruthless. We're far too nice and put far too high an emphasis on discipline.
I'd love to see us sign a Vila Matautia, Jason Hooper or Sonny Nickle for next season.
I think all 3 are currently available.
Dixon is an interesting one, with the signing of Manu, we obviously have offered a good deal of money and Flannerys wage alone I would imagine does not cover it, so bits of money saved here and there would top this up. True Dixon will not be on a wedge but in the end it all adds up, it would still leave us plenty of depth in the 2nd row/loose forward slots.
Manu, Wilkin, Sia, Flanaghan, Magennis, TP. That's six players Dixon would be a 7th choice behind those and so would struggle to get a game next season. I do like dixon going forwards, but defensively I can't recall him, where as all these would be very good defensive players with one or 2 being bone crunching in the tackle.
