Still think Bob Beswick could of done a good job for us at 35. Widnes just signed a good hooker. Looks a area we might struggle in . Quick ball is what is needed. We looked a different team when we had Adam O Brien on loan.

I agree re. Beswick

If we are playing five huddersfield players on DR there will be no need for additions to our squad.

Although you'll be breaking the rules (or at least as they currently stand)............

Looks like we've come up short on our bid for Sonny Bill Williams...our sponsors really need to dig a bit deeper...

Going to be a fun season. London, Fev and Toulouse looking strong. Leigh fans probably disappointed so far with their signings, really thought they would go for it this season but they will probably strengthen mid season when it looks like they will miss out on the top 2. Widnes and York probably not strong enough to break in the top 3 which probably leaves us hoping for 7th at best.

Do you really think London are looking strong GFB? Look at the players they have lost...Abdull, Yates, Pitts, Walker, Gee, Hellewell, Mason, Kear, Williams, not sure about Ioane and Cunningham but most of their quality from last year has gone. Walters and Curran are good signings but to me on paper they look weaker than when they were in the Championship 2 years ago. I think Ward will need to be an even bigger magician this year to have them challenging for top 2.

Also, I originally thought York might regress this year having won so many tight games in 2019 but they look to have recruited well. I wouldn't rule them out from being top 3 contenders with Ford still at the helm.

I agree compared to 2 years ago London don't look as strong but in my opinion that London team would have won the league this season with games to spare. I think even though the overall quality in the championship is up, I think that is more to do with the lower teams been more competitive rather than the top teams getting better(barring Toronto).

We needa hooker and half back think with the recruitment so far we are looking around 5th/6th
