What a swap Aydin is for Brown. Played the full game today? And some real big hits, too. Aggressive, hard working forward.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Sat Jul 13, 2024 4:26 pm  

Aydin and Herman were both excellent today

Reckon should leave Moy as number 1 and target other positions

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Sat Jul 13, 2024 5:50 pm  

Moy is a class act for his age but isn't the finished article just yet. Bringing in a NRL FB of Sailors standard will bring Moy on leaps and bounds.

We must have the most ineffective centres in the league, we need some strike and power out wide, combined with our featherweight second rows we really aren't a threat on the edges. I'd maybe be tempted to move Trueman on he really didn't impose himself on the game today when his 18 year old half back partner really needed some help, our kicking was absolutely horrific and needs to improve quickly especially without Reynolds.

If we can bring in a big Centre, a proper 7 and a big backrower I'll be a bit more optimistic about our recruitment.

I was there today and thought Trueman had a decent game. He was marshalling the team around and looked dangerous in the second half. As we have no strike centres or second rows to run off him he's doing ok. Still early days after that horrific injury.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Sat Jul 13, 2024 6:37 pm  

I thought Trueman did a lot better today, too.

Centre and back row are key positions for us, as well as some X factor at full back. Moy is the future and this experience will make him so much better when his time comes.

Think if Sailor signs it would be as a 6, if he goes to Saints, I'd bring in a halfback and centre with last 2 spots.

I'd like another forward but would have to be uk based.

Not 100% sure in Chan yet, don't think he is good enough for Wigan though, so they might be a chance to get him.

Herman is a seriously good player. Best prop we've had for years and one if not the best in SL.

Aydin has been excellent as well. Great trade in for Brown.

What has happened to Sutcliffe? Never seen a player lose so much pace between age 28 and 29.

I'd vote for another big impact prop and a centre for our quota spots (assuming Cust is coming to provide cover in the halves) we don't need another Full Back. Moy, Litten, Hardaker can have that covered and there's no guarantee someone will take Walker off us.
