Or thane:I absolutely hate this, not Liam Knight as i'd be happy with him here, what i hate is that Burgess wasn't interested in the first place.He's knows him, has played with him, would have known he was available but wasn't interested, now he's playing really well Burgess is suddenly interested in poaching him. My confidence in Burgess has disintegrated very quickly, and he seems deluded and panicky with things he's doing. If we sign Him we should get rid of Musgrove and keep Vaughan. Byrne, Knight, Vaughan, Harrison, Yates, Philbin & Wood looks pretty solid, Crowther as back up possibly as well. Dan Russell i had a good feeling about, then saw him play and oh dear, not his fault but he's more championship level. We need 2 new good props minimum, and Either Play leyland or let him go. And just move on from Russell, and hopefully Lindop and Wrench both stay fit and keep developing. I like king, nothing fancy but is a workhorse centre and makes more yards and gets us on the front foot more than our props at times. And only costing 50k on the cap is a BIG plus, but the fact we haven't re-signed him already suggests he's on his way out. To be fair on Burgess didn't Knight only become available mid season when we had no quota spots left? Whether we should have filled that last spot with Russell is obviously the question we all know the answer to, its left our hands tied - maybe we would have been in a better position to bring Amone in if we had that flexibility of a free spot. Bringing in Russell certainly seems panic stations after losing Bateman & Nicholson, keeping our powder dry would have seemed the better option. King at £50k on the cap works well for his current contract, but I'm sure his next deal will be lower so the benefit is reduced, maybe having Walker / Ashton on £100k cap or Currie on £50k cap may work just as well. I'd keep King, but his salary has to be right and as you say Lindop should be considered first choice centre next year on his preferred side. Wrench I think at this stage can only be considered a back up given his injury issues of the past two years.

| Abe Froman:
The Josh Charnley signing was nonsense. There was nothing in it. I believe it was Salford that enquired about a short term loan.
We are interested in Nene Macdonald though. It just depends if he want's to come back to the Uk for the rest of the season.
He’d be a significant upgrade on our current right centre.

| Genuine strike centre, be a good addition. Just for the rest of the year or are they looking at a multi year deal?

| Apparently Burgess is looking to sign Tui kamikamica, i wouldn't mind him here at all. Another big bulldozer prop like Vaughan, he'd be a much Welcomed forward for us. Him, Vaughan, Byrne, Harrison, Philbin etc makes us look MUCH better. He might take a paycut to stay at Melbourne though as that looks like his only choice to stay in Oz.

| I am always sceptical these days with overseas recruitment ,too many come with either lack of commitment or disciplinary baggage. Remember Roy Has it easy & i'm sure Ese Ese would soon change his name to Easy does it once he got his feet under the HJ table. Chris Hill was still doing a good job last night.

| (The page navigation is on this forum is absolutely dreadful btw, if anyone has worked it out I'd love to know.)
McDonald sounds like a classic Warrington signing. A very skilful player with a, erm, very fickle personality - he'd play the perfect blend of good performances and completely anonymous/error-ridden ones, and as soon as we lost a few games the rumour mill about his extra-curriculars would be in overdrive. And all the people who are bigging him up now would be tutting and blaming the Warrington 'culture'.
