Whats not bad.... 9 times out of ten a winger will go full length if they intercept on the run, and the oppositions quick players are up with play, Carvell went 70 metres against Saints didn't he, Joel went 70 metres against Hudds, Pat Richards scoring a few interceptions doesn't mean he isn't slow compare to the majority of wingers.



The fact Richards was nearly ran down by wingers coming from the opposite side of the pitch, highlights my point that he is slow for a winger.



The main point I was trying to make is that one of the best wingers in SL isn't exactly quick so it isn;t exactly a neccesity when Joel has other weapons in his nal.

Maybe, but they'll go through hands, that's the difference. We can score distance tries with people in support etc, we're very good at pushing through.



I'd say Wigan are better or have more capability of 'solo' distance tries.

Going to really miss King next season he seems to get better each week since he came back from injury but we do have Ratchford/Evans to try and fill the gap.



I think we will be better up the middle Waterhouse will fit right in with his offloading game and I think Hill is going to suprise a few (not Leigh fans) people.



Can only see Smith making one more signing which when be a replacement for Clarke if he goes.

Keep hearing Jon Wilkin to Wire from a few people (Saints fans included).

He's 28 but do we need him?

Good player and versatile but is he better than what we have? Probably not. I'd rather us push some of our younger lads (Laithwaite, Ben Evans) up the order personally.

Quality - of course we do

Grix is a better option long term, although Grix has played at hooker for us before.

We need a hooker, we have back up in most positions that can do a decent job bar hooker.

Either promote from the youth or get someone in, Withers might not set the world alight but he'll do a job at interchange we'll only need 25-30 mins out of him anyway with Monas doing the big stint.

Michael Witt

We need to get rid of Higham, liability most of the time, but will anyone take him.

we don't need Witt, i'm only suggesting Withers because he's available.
