they have been using him off the bench with and playing him at hooker mainly. John Sutton plays 5/8th, Chris Sandow scrum half and Isaac Luke hooker. so he does seem to be out of favour at the moment with them 3 players in some good form.

But who?



Finch is 26 - 27 but I would imagine he would only be over here for 2 - 3 years max then would look to go back home.

I can't really think of anyone good enough over here who we should be looking at.

Many on here seem to think there are huge numbers of world class scrum halves sat by the phone waiting for James Rule to call. Given that, apart from Burrow who's on a 15 year deal or something at Leeds, SHs in Super League are pretty average, and I don't follow the NRL closely, could someone provide a list of these off contract, world class scrum halves so we can pick a top 5 that we'd like to get here. Players who are hookers but can play SH a bit should not be included as we already have one of those. Thanks.

Made me

If we are signing a halfback who's around the 30 mark, I'd like us to also invest in a young halfback such as Ben Black at Halifax, or Aaron Groom at Sheffield. Obviously I'd love Myler but I don't think there's much chance of that!

is he still suffering from headaches after a crunching tackle by Paul Gallen or is that someone else ??

Would people be happy with a young half back who has missed 41 tackles in just 5 games?

Was a fantastic hooker 4 or 5 years ago and was one of the best players in the world but havent seen or heard much about him last 2 years and would command a big salary and we already have Berrigan so its pointless signing him

I don't think that was him,he did get a serious injury in the first round of the 2008 season which was well published.

I can see the point in not wanting to sign a 31 year old, but I think Orford is a bit of an exception to the rule, he is playing at his peak and is exactly what we need, he relies on his upper body strengh more then speed (nicknamed the Ox) so it wouldnt be the same as signing a three quarter at that age, I think in SL we would get 3 good years out of him, he would give the club a massive boost and have a massive impact, of course it would make much more sense to sign a long term prospect, although he has a lot of talent I doubt Myler has what it takes to make a top class 7, id say he is a little bit more of a Richard Horne type player, thats not a bad thing but not what we desperately need. Dobson was our best chance of a long term solution to our halfback problem but I think the board made a big mistake and went for the bigger named player in Crocker rather then what would have benifited us more in the longer term.



As for Wing class act but again not the answer, not too different to Berrigan although Wing is probabally a better runner out of dummy half, he has the skills to make a good 6, and to cover and do a job at halfback, we would still need a better playmaker along side him and he is one a lot of money at Souths so would have to be our only major signing I would think.

Orford has only just turned 31, and would do the job for us for 2 years



there doesn't seem to be anyone younger available who is of that quality

The only other I can think of is Finch, but I would imagine that there will be a few NRL clubs and most SL clubs looking at him too along with Orford.



Is Sean Long carrying on after this season? Because I would imagine saints would be first choice for alot of players.

Warrington will probably need two new playmakers, with Monas looking at going home and Briers going or at least rumoured to be going to Barrow.
