A poor mans Simon Verbickas.

Menzies Yere looked knackered after 20 minutes against us - he'd have to up his fitness. Ropati would be a banker for mine and at a push - Brannighan and Patterson. Misi Tapioca or whatever his name is could be in with a shout too - he's had experience in the NRL also.

Always hard to tell really isnt it ?



Weve seen relatively solid players in this league adapt well to the full time environment and prove to be capable in SL and on the other side players who you would think would be capable of stepping up struggling to make an impact.



Ryan Tandy as an NRL winner after his spells at this level probably sum it all up.



Full time environment can make a massive difference.

I would imagine now Haven have been relegated that Calvert will want to leave,



whoever gets him will see the benefits next season.



one of the best wingers in this league imo, if he was in a good side he would be scoring tries for fun.

Think he's had SL offers before but stayed loyal and has good job etc, so could only see maybe Barrow? Bout two years ago would of agreed but IMO is slowing down a bit now!

Yep.. but slowing down from where he started at means that be is still pacier than your average Championship winger.

If I was going to pick a player for next season, which may possibly make SL, I might be tempted to go for Tim Bergin (Sheffield winger). He’s looked good every time I’ve seen him play. He’s fast, great step, quick hands, and seems pretty tough. He looks fairly young too. He was their stand-out player, when he played against us last week.



He reminds me a bit of Paddy Flyyn.

Not a cat in hells chance could Liam Harrison make it in Super League, he only has 2/3 decent games a year, the rest of the time he's a liability, crap defence and struggles to keep hold of the ball !! I think Bracek could get back in there, but not at prop, more likely in the back row. Would like to see how Royston would go at that level, very good player to watch. Also think James Nixon could step up with the pace he has, lightning quick.

I always liked Tandy when he was in this division. Always wondered why he had trouble sticking around at a club. Im fairly positive that Melbourne could turn any player into a good player if they have a decent frame and mentality.

Never really rated Calvert or he certainly has never really played well against Widnes. I rated him as much as I rated Gregg McNally (not alot!) who is not playing Championship 1 rugby.



It's a question that's difficult to answer, full time training makes a massive difference, better players around them etc. There are certainly players that can make the leap, hopefully Widnes won't have any picked off from them this winter, though I do expect Thacks to go unfortunately.

Now there was a player...!!!!!! Man.. he used to get the North stand to their feet.

Also agree about Liam Harrison, he's too old to make an impact on SL now, if he;s not done it by now he never will.
