Snaggletooth:

The conundrum, as I see it, is, do we jump for McDonald and use a significant sum when we expect Williams to leave, do we use it for a Williams replacement, or do we go for a big forward bearing in mind the club has stated no big boppers.


I understand the club is unsure if Hayes will make it after the setbacks he has had. Given the current situation, the available money and the immediate need for next year is all around the Stand Off spot 

Uncle Rico:



I'm prepared to give everyone a chance and hope that it works out for the player and the club but just to recap according to the article it's a shrewd piece of business because of the following,

1 He's big
2 He's second in the offload department behind some bloke from Huddersfield
3 He's cheaper than anyone would have expected
4 He has some pals at the club
5 His performances are improving of late most notably against us  

karetaker:

What stood out for me is he is only here because his move to Union fell through.

He will probably see his time at the Wire as being the salary pinnacle of his career, Let's hope he doesn't fall into the Ways of Wire.
