True. I don't know how true the 'Home sick' rumours are, but for me, he won't be a great loss.



Would be interesting to see if at this stage people would sooner have Riddell, or his cap space to help sign players in other positions.

I think at least 95% would say the cap space tbh but it's unlikely he'll leave imo.



We best hope he comes good. I thought last week was a step in the right direction.

Well I would.

Could really generate some good cap space to bring in some quality players.

I've seen flashes of ability. But he doesn't do anything like as much work off the ball as Mac, and he certainly doesn't have Tommy's scooting prowess.



You don't get a decent rep in the NRL for nothing. But he wouldn't be the first to come here assuming it'll be so easy that he doesn't even need to get fit.

That's the thing, many in the NRL said he had a 1 great game in every 5.

Also he's always had fitness and weight issues, hence why St George got shut.



I remember him at both Dragons and Eels, never really stood out, had the occasional good game but never was someone I would have wanted at our club.



I thought Danny B at Leeds would have been a better signing despite being older. He was a natural leader (capt of NSW and Aus) and was quicker round the play of the ball. Had good experience which our younger players could have benefitted from.

agreed



BUT



i think he would have cost considerably more. with hindsight (given piggy's p**s poor form, we should have kept mickey

Pity Wigan didn't recognise the potential of Tommy as a 9 and McC coming through. I think they can both be better than Piggy and Micky given a good run both at 9 on the interchange.

Agreed

Smith looks like he's leaving, I dont think Pryce is anywere near good enough now to play 6, we still need a 6, ( IMO Sam looks like a good 7 ) and, in my opinion 2 new props !!

After watching Origin I'd take any of there props!



If I lived in a a dream world probably Petro and Bailey!

you are the weakest link, bye bye

Or in other words you've realised that you've made yourself look like a right tool and don't have a comeback.

Trying to justify a players abilities by the amount of trophies he has won is just ludicrous.



The history of the game is littered with great players who won very few trophies, and crap players who won loads.



Ade Gardner has probably lost count of the number of medals he has won. Do you have him in your list of GB's greatest ever wingers?



Conversely, great players such as Garry Schofield played for years, and didn't win too many trophies.



Your argument is stupid, in fact, it may be the weakest link.

Add to that list the ability of Ainscough or short sighted nature of signing Roberts on a 4 year deal! I think he will come good, but you have to be a pretty special player to justify a 4 year deal and he does not fall into that category.
