Tommygilf Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 James Segeyaro almost singlehandedly kept us up during 10 games in 2016. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Of the examples used, is Andrew Johns (three games and an absolute pumping off Hull in the play-offs) and a man, whose signing saw a breach in the salary cap, really as good examples as Hastings at Salford, Taia at Saints, Segerayo at Leeds, Watkins at Salford and Sammut to Crusaders? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkw Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Best example at Workington was when we brought in Rowland Phllips and Kevin Ellis on loan, the entire squad raised its level and it was like watching different teams from before they came. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be worth seeing if they're available for the rest of this season! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

del capo Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Stuart Fielden in the day saved Wigan from relegation. Field and French in today's side have been transformational....... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiganermike Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 As well as Fielden, Michael Dobson had a big impact on our team in 2006 too. Our halfbacks weren't working either until Dennis Moran left and he was brought in. Fielden gets cited more as his signing cost so much money whereas Dobson was a loan signing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wollo Wollo Wayoo Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) When Cas signed Mike Ford, Brad Davis and Richard McKell from Wakefield towards the end of 1997 Super League season it rescued them from probable relegation. It didn't seem to matter to us at the time as Hull FC had the 2nd division title and promotion in the bag. Edited July 26 by Wollo Wollo Wayoo This world was never meant for one as beautiful as me.

Human Punk Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I'm still of the opinion that David Fairleigh got an extra 10% out of every player at Saints when he was there, especially the overseas contingent. Probably the difference between failure and the huge success they had at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiltshire Warrior Dragon Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Steve Menzies was a welcome and timely reminder to Les Dracs that, if you get someone with the right attitude to the club, their team-mates and the work needed, and who also thinks through and understands the implications for them and their family of living in a foreign culture, then you can get a very good benefit from 30+ year old southern hemishpere players. However, both club and player must do their homework before the contract is agreed and signed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Stottle Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) Jamie Peacock says:- "But he’s building long-term and the club’s backing Daryl (Powell). Rightly so. He’s a proven record of delivering success and getting the most out of players." Not this season he ain't Jamie, not by a long long way!

Harry Stottle Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Not played a game as yet, but Lachlan Lam could prove to be the piece missing in the jigsaw that will ensure Leigh get promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could play halfback & Leigh would still get promoted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
