There was a Pah Ayter, a Scouser and a Lobby Gobbler went into a pub and...

...take it away boys!

Jamie is a great player on his day and we all know his discipline on the field let him and our club down last season.

I am confident he knows that and I think he is Superleague standard. I also remember the first time I saw him play which was for Workington against us. That was the reason we signed him of course.

We'd be foolish not to keep him imo.

A fully fit Ben Harrison???? Hahahahah what a load of tripe he's not good and he's not ever been fit... Rather have Acton and he will be cheaper

Joke of the Year entry?

Why ?

Chris was a superb Championship prop & already SL level when Wire signed him. It was Wire that polished him up a little to become International level.

J.A is still young & has bags of potential to kick on, only his bad temper holds him back.

That is why he shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence as Chris Hill.

He was also late entering the sport of RL and even later the world of the prop, hope we keep him. Harrison is only 28 and did play the last few games whilst at Wakey, so IF he has recovered he has a few years still in him

Acton isn't good enough for SL in my opinion.

Not many skills to his game other than running strong, being a dummy runner and getting suspended.

We need a prop who can pass / offload and be unpredictable. If has learned how to do this keep him, if not, let him go.

Massive Jamie Acton fan, he is fearless and gives his heart and soul for the team - heart

Big liability with his temper and I feel teams will highlight him as a weak link - head

Do you go with your heart or your head - undecided on this one sorry sat well and truly on the fence

He's not proven in SL,we are taking cap space up with a "potential" when experience could be placed there.

Could the same not be said about McNally, to prove yourself in Super league someone has to give you the opportunity
