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. |

The Pangai Jnr. signing to effectively replace Vaughan is a bit iffy IMO.
I`ve watched most of Catalans` televised games this season plus the two games versus Wire and haven`t seen any form from him, admittedly in a poor team.
He would have been on decent money at Les Cats. since he was a major NRL recruit.
I hope Chambers/Burgess have got this right and we haven`t repeated the Musgrove mistake.
Hopefully Abe will be along to shed some light on all of the Vaughn and Pangai roomers | | |

Hard to disagree with that based on what I have seen this season. I would have taken Satae before him but he as just signed an extension. Shows though which player Catalan prefer to keep. | | |

Pangai Jnr has been pretty woeful this season - but there's a cracking player in there if Burgess can get him firing.

He is what most have been crying out for.
He is a strong boy, big hand-off and impulsive off-load. Won't play huge minutes but should have an impact.
Would love to be able to keep Vaughan as well ... but we'll see.
