He looks a class act, get him signed up. Sheriffe may not look that bad but i'm not sure about top try scorer.

I think it would be a much more exciting concept to have Halley playing outside him rather than Sheriffe.
I guess it depends on whether Semi stays or not, and whether we've signed Kearney or not.

Halley on the wing outside Millard and Kearney at fullback (with Platt and Sheriffe as cover) sounds quite promising in my opinion.

All still just speculation you understand

Gidley does it for Gardner and Senior's spent years making some pretty average wingers look great on the try scoring charts.

It's just a thought and I'm certainly not putting any money on it.

i agree if we were to sign millard and kearney, it would be a massive improvement on our backs line, keareny at FB would be better than halley, and millard would be better than sykes. Halley Im sure would do well for us on the wing. just hope that we have signed them.

Yeh they might well improve our backline, but we need a halfback as well. If we're recruiting from SL we will need to exchange players or pay a transfer fee to get a quality player. No point have an exciting centre or FB and still being led about by Sykes/Deacon.

FB Kearney
W Sheriffe
CE Nero
CE Millard
W Halley
SO Sykes
SH Brough

I'd be happy with that and that looks more like top 4 to me.

Well there is a point, better than having our current backs out there. But i agree we deffo need a new stand off. Surely we must have one signed on if jeffries has been allowed to leave.

After yesterday, that's even more reason to keep Halley at FB.

Although it sounds like he had a good game y6esterday, and has been impressive for much of the season, i dont reckon hes as good a fullback as kearney. we would have a better back line if halley was on the wing and keeping someone such as sheriffe out of the team.

He may not be, but the very fact that we already have a fullback who's performing very well means we don't need to strengthen that area nearly as much as others. What's the point in signing players for positions we already have good players in, when we have other very very weak areas of the team?

If it's the wing that's weak, instead of signing a fullback and moving the fullback to the wing, why not just sign a winger?
