Thought LMS was superb last night, great covering tackle on gene to dislodge the ball, the guys got be the quickest front row in superleague and he's got a good engine too.

May I say, I don't think we'll sign a SH

6 - Tomkins
7 - Leuluai

9- Riddell/Macca

If we did sign a SH

6 - Tomkins
7 - Newbie

9 - Riddell/Leuluai - Were does that leave Macca? Play like he as and what he doesn't get first team, doesn't sent a good meassge to other Acad players.

Save the money on the SH and buy two great Props and FB.

LMS and ???? who will help set the platform with Fielden, Feka and Prescott/O'Carroll for the Tomkins/Leuluai partnership to work.

Love us to have a half decent pop at Minichiello, let players like Bailey, Phelps, Coley and Pryce leave.

May I add that I think we will sign a halfback but only because Lenegan keeps saying we will, the big question is will it be a halfback that is any good.

As I've said before is this paper talk again? Or as he said in a video/audio interview he will sign a 6 or 7?

As i've said if it isn't video/audio IL has not said it, in my opinion.

There's a couple of direct quotes from Lenagan in this article regarding signing a halfback. http://www.wigantoday.net/warriors/Orford-in-Lenagan39s-sights.5305452.jp Of course it's only paper talk but I personally can't see them lying through there teeth like this.

I see your point but we really do need someone to come in and give us some leadership and creativity. I want to agree with you but I can't.

I don' think he was bad against us, he was playing behind a beaten pack and team really. The good thing about him in the two games against us was he did not go hiding.
