I would be inclined to agree with most of that, particularly our lack of a genuine pivot in the halves. This is partly because the only genuine halfback we have is Danny Craven. The rest are hookers or utility backs. Widnes need a Lee Briers type player far more than we need a Richie Myler. The problem is that leading halves are much harder to come across, particularly English ones.
Perhaps Matty Smith, if the rumour is true, would be a decent option. He's nothing special but, as long as we don't spend too much on him, could help make us tick a little better and give us the ability to utilise dummy runners - which is something we rarely seem to do.
unfortunately the leading halfback that you had was anthony watts and you missed him badly more than most people will realise
here are a few players OOC that would help the team and would help in the areas i explained previously if you can get them
Ben Jeffries good leader and good directional player,
Manase Manuokafoa hard hitting hard working forward,
Tom Burgess young big player with bags of potential,
Jarrod Sammut skillful player also good at directional play excellent kicking game,
Danny Orr experienced and dont come much better,
Tommy Lee hard hitting versitile forward,
Ben Galea good old fashioned prop,
Vinnie Anderson skillful second rower,
Matty Smith would be a risk but if payed off can be a good player,
Micky Higham bags of experience here and will teach the young hookers alot,
James Laithwaite good young second rower
i have selected a few that you would have more of a chance of getting but in there are some hard hitting forwards that you are missing and a few leading halves
