We seem to be going down route of playing 2 standoffs in the halves roles. Worked for Leeds for years but they had benefit of sinfield taking organising role at loose forward and playing a bit like a third half. Can't see anyone in our team who can do similar at the moment.

Would it be worth considering bringing in Harris into the coaching set up? Not a fan of his But he seems like an intelligent man who could help Potter deliver his plans

Maybe so, he must know the game inside out. Having said that he does have one of the dullest voices ever. Might we run the risk of him boring everyone to death?

Could send him into the opposition dressing room before kick off, melt their brains just prior to kick off.



That being said, it wouldn't hurt us to have someone like Harris on the coaching staff. Especially for players like Briggs and Southernwood

How many times can players put up with him saying "This Wigan sard", "This Saints sard", "This Leeds sard", "This Warrington sard" etc etc.?

I can't help wondering if the demise of the Crusaders (at least as a SL outfit) has changed what might have happened.



The question is whether Sammut is a 'done deal' as some on here are claiming. If it is signed already, then we are going to have to pass on Witt and Hanbury (even assuming they'd want to come) because we'd have Sammut, Gale, Jeffries and Briggs already for the halves.



But if Sammut isn't yet finalised, then presumably we can switch attention to Witt or Hanbury. I'd personally like to see Witt in our team , he looks a class act whenever I've watched the Crusaders.



In general terms, I suspect a whole bunch of the Crusaders teams are going to end up at Widnes. You might almost say it was planned that way, but perhaps that's being too cynical

From no halves to four.



Isn't there some adage about generals always starting the next war by preparing to fight the last one?

Disgusted at the whole farce. I didn't think anything could make me feel sorry for Keith Senior, an individual I have a punchbag named after, but no-one deserves to be treated like he was yesterday.



Feel more sorry for the Halifax club and Fans, and the Crusaders players and fans. On a rare day Rugby League gets the sporting spotlight, the RFL embarrased us.

i know keith senior and he is nothing like people see him in a game, i would sign him straight away if we had chance, hes a winner,simple as



senior and lulia in centres, keep chev walker if fit and move him into 2nd row with elliot,elima loose,unless we get a ball playing loose

Sounds like McNamara to me

I don't see this as an embarrassment at all. No-one outside the sport gives a flying feck. The RFL were dropped in it at the last minute by Crusaders. Wakey or Fax? 2 M62 teams who offer nothing much more than each other & will have little or no impact on the spread of the game, which should be the RFL's priority. Fax used to be my favourite ground to visit but their exclusion in favour of Wakey matters not a jot to me. If Fax had been successful there would still be as many people crying disgrace, joke, embarrassment. The RFL have a virtually impossible task spreading the game, not helped by large numbers of myopic fans.
