I think it was more trying to get someone in for a year and not rushing Sam too early. I think at the time they wouldn't have known Sam could slot in as comfortably as he has. Otherwise it makes zero sense.

Was it not around the time of rumours of Riddell going home though?

Long was not the right man though, we should of gone all out to sign Orford.



How much better would it look if we had Orford instead of Riddell, more tommy to 9.

I don't recall those rumours so I dunno.

I'm sure there is a coach in place for next season.

Not really, we have a target and a backup. I don't think anyone has signed.... Wane has given it away a few times that he will be assistant or head coach.

I think they only did the rounds on here tbh.

Haha Wigan players texted in.

Long has just hit the nail on the head regarding international rl.

He couldnt lace Andy Gregs boots

I actually love Longs honestly, I am sick of people saying we can match the aussies this time, but we can't he actually has a great knowledge of our game although he is a to55er.









We have to be realistic.



Inglis

Thurston

Hayne

Folau

Hodges

Lockyer

Barrett



All backs for aus who are miles better than what we have and then you could name another 5 players in each position who are better than what we have.



Tactics have to be spot on.

Oh that explains why I took no notice of them then!
