Is O'Meley really the right way to go? Many on here have been complaining about the retirement home tag we were getting labelled with!! For the first time in many years, the club seems to have got its recruitment policy right for this season. Gledhill and Ashurst both seem to have been quite astute signings. Add to this McPherson and Moon look a cut above some our recent overseas signings.

I'd say he is, pretty much widely excepted that a decent prop gets better up to his early 30's. I'd say that MO would be a decent addition to the squad. Still to be convinced that McPherson is a good buy, brilliant when on the field but not on it enough for me.



Also what I would gaurd against when looking at the O'Meleys of this world is look what happened last time we had a good season and made the play off's, we went out and bought the likes of Edmondson who on papaer looked good and ended up dragging us to the bottom, think we ideally need to look to continue strengthening as we have in mainly looking for younger players who aren't getting thier big break at other teams.

Spot on Ashurst has been superb for us, I'm amazed Saints let the lad go.

couple of big props will only give matty smith more time on the ball, and that lad is pure class...the best player let go by us IMO

i was a little too he is a very honest player, but not a world beater and he have a few second rowers, i think mark flanagan has added to our team but would not of minded if we had re-signed

Agree with Mitch.

Give good young players not getting game time at the big clubs a chane, and dont over strech ourselves with older big money signings (like Bradford).

On the age thing, I'm sure the majority of our fans would take a punt on Morley if he was available & wanted to come home and he is what 35? Not saying O'Meley is as good but not far short and is considerably younger. As much as I to would prefer to have younger guys coming through & given a chance I think at prop we need an experienced pack leader and feel MO would compliment the massively improved 'New Feka' next season and give our halves (hoping Smithy signs a new deal) even more time & space to do their damage.

I think there was slightly more to it than signing Edmonson that dragged us to the bottom!!!!!



Despite being injury prone he was actually a class player. I remember when he first came he was always looking to off load, it was on as well but we never backed him up. At that point he realised it wasn't on and then stopped doing it. We never played to his strengths at all. But then the whole team underperformed on our way to the bottom. Some much more than edmonson ever did

If we looking for a front row, surely it would be worth while to try and get Morley for a year? Think this would be a coup as Morley is still pretty much a name around Salford. Looking at the OOC players viewtopic.php?f=2&t=522888&start=40 there seems to be a fair few decent players up for grabs. If it's youth we after could we tempt Ambler, Turner back? Personally I'd like to see Clough and Dixon from Saints. Mike Mc from Wigan is a good hooker maybe Fielden? If it we me I'd be talking to the agents early to see if we can beat some club to the signatures to players.

I don't normally refer to stats but somehow you can't always get through to some people.



Adamson is not our best second row, far from it. His attack is well below par.



And i can't believe your comment saying "Other than that there's not that much difference in their games. Excuse Me.



Adamson 77 carries, making 450 metres, 2 busts in 8 appearances.



Tickle 108 carries, making 608 metres, 16 busts in 7 appearances.





Can you see the difference now. Hardly the same is it......

How many metres do they make per carry.....?

Now that's an interesting question, calculator always at the ready and I see that Mr Tickle does 5.6 metres per carry and Mr Adamson 5.8



Over to you Mr Inferno!
