That backline would be amazing. But wed have only McIlorum for hooker and probably no cap space or quota space to bring another one. If Tommy and Roberts both stay then I am more than happy with next years squad.



I honestly don's know what people are concerned about wrt Tommy at 9 with Micky on the bench for next year. One of the best coaches in world RL has just picked TL as starting hooker for the Kiwis and MMc has come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of seasons.

warriorcraig, people are worried because they are judging him when he has moved from SH to 9.



give the guy a long run at 9, let him focus on playing 9 and dont force him to play two roles and he will be a different player at 9. For me he showed a lot of promise at 9 when he moved there this season, but give him a full pre-season and i think he could be a great 9 with his speed off the mark and low centre of gravity.

What people are concerned about is that, according to the rumour mill, Tommy might not be here next year.



Aside from that, I'm sure everyone would agree with you.

Billy Slater?



Yeah and Warrington will win SL next season

I honestly wouldn't be that bothered if Leuluai left, if we kept Deacon on and signed a decent hooker/halfback it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

Sign me up for the mental asylum if you want but I don't believe we should be after Billy Slater - we don't need him. Sam Tomkins should stay at fullback - we only need a hooker, simple as.



Don't believe for a second there's anything in it though.

I'm already on that bus.

We know........

I'll get you Butler...............

I am in the next straight jacket to you. It would be a short sighted gimmick were it only for a year. If TL were to leave then I could see some mileage in it, but I hope we retain our formation and players for next year and IF Amos was to go I would like us to go after a long term top quality wingman over a 1 season wonder that would be Slater.



At the moment for me also IF we are to take on another recruit hooker should be the position we are looking to cover.

I would have Billy Slater if he only came for 1 half of a game, current Australia and Queensland fullback, possiblity he could become the world greatest ever fullback and we don't want him? Come on fellas, IL might be reading.

Correct. Totally correct.



We aren't going to lose Riddell/Piggy to sign a fullback, even if it was Slater.



That being said, Billy the Kid @ Wigan
