Quote NickyKiss="NickyKiss"I’d rather stick with Tommy or Sammut then sign Richardson. I banged the drum for most of last season saying he was Sky’s new poster boy when actually he isn’t very good and he eventually got found out. The calls for him to play for England were outrageous and thankfully that didn’t happen.

The kid can kick a goal or drop goal for sure but I’d give him a month before he was getting more stick than Matty Smith got. He like Smith doesn’t have a running game but he’s not as brave as Smith and can’t defend as well.'"

We probably don't have any cap space. So many players have had their contracts renewed it's bound to affect the salary cap.


Trouble is our two highest paid players and them being two of our three marquee players haven't played for months. French has been out for a couple of months and Thompson since the Catalans game when we also lost Walters.  Although Walters has returned he was out for around 10-11 weeks Thompson still hasn't played.  That is just too much talent missing from the squad  not to have an adverse effect on performance..


If there was a shake up needed then Forber to be bench 9 instead of Leeming.  Walters right 2nd row and Junior off the bench. Maybe also Eckersley to replace Wardle for a couple of weeks so get Jake rested and fit again.


IMO our first 17-20 is the best in SL and by some distance. For that to be reflected in performance they all have to play especially our best players which they plainly have not.
