    Hope so. That gives him a week of training with the side, and hopefully the direction in the halves we need. But there is already a lot on his shoulders, if it is correct.

    If he was to be at Saints in the no.7 jersey who would everyone want at no.6?

    I'd be happy with O Brien as a short term measure. He's seemed to do well from the little I've seen him play at Wire and would be far better than not having a scrum half at all. As for Walsh, I've not seen him play, so can't really comment. But from comments on here it sounds like he fits the bill.

    Sadly I just cant see that happening. He is a natural 6 too and it's such a shame. I have a horrible feeling it wont matter who we want because we'll be stuck with Shitty Hohaia for another 2 seasons, saying that if we get Lomax fit and playing 1 with a good organising 7 he might not look quite as shit.

    That would be a good move re Lomax, I think him and Eastmond are our most realistic chances of best replacing Tomkins.

    Trust me. You won't be signing Lomax.

    I know that I'm merely stating that the 2 named candidates are who we should chase to replace Sam when he goes.

    I think Lomax could be an outstanding FB as could Eastmond.

    Lets face it we are not going to get an NRL superstar so those 2 are the best candidates IMO.

    Fwiw I think Saints will tie Lomax down long term.

    From memory he has another 3 years left on his contract although that may actually only be 2.

    Fair enough so he's not available without a fee from the right team although I can honestly see him being a 1 club man.

    No need for a fee coz he's already in the right team.

    Unless you throw an obscene amount of money at him I cant see you getting Eastmond either. He will probably play in the England squad this summer which will raise his profile and no doubt his income.

    Apart from that clip I've seen nothing of him so can't comment too much on him (although the clip does highlight a strong kicking game and short passing game) but I just hope we sign an out and out half back. I remember when Eastmond confirmed he was leaving and we speculated every name under the sun and ended with Hohaia so until we have something more concrete I'm not getting my hopes up on this.

    I watch a fair bit of NRL and have speculated on a few options both budget and penthouse. He's just not on the radar at all. The manner of being dropped by Ivan Cleary and comments from Brandy Alexander don't inspire confidence. Think he will be already on big bucks but not quite hit the heights

    I was anticipating going for a junior who needed a couple of seasons first grade in the uk to go to the next level, like Jacob Miller at Wests.

    Not excited first off but he could be a diamond. Either way he will need a 6 and neither Hohaia or Wheeler are the answer for different reasons.
    Hanbury or Snyed would be a good foil.

    Interesting article.

    Forwards win games. The backs decide by how much.

    To be fair that was Hohaia at his best playing in his correct position. He's not quite as toss there.

    I wonder if O'Brien might be available full stop , Dire linked to Shaun Johnson http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.p...smp=1367269450 . With Myler and Ratchford already there wouldnt leave much room for him.

    Dire also linked with Matty Bowen as the young up and coming replacement for Hodgson ....
