Listening to the few mini interviews we’ve had with the board it appears we’re going for it , specifically cat A and promotion to super league, how long this project is we don’t know but without knowing the criteria for cat A it’s difficult to assess but there’ll be lots to do . It’ll be nice to see who the first signing will be and re-signings for that matter as rumour as been very quiet , only doro , king and young Tom inman from York have been mentioned. Roll on Tuesday.

The game caller has tweeted that we have signed Tom Inman from Warrington and a permanent deal. Ian was on loan at York last season

I think he is a local lad. Some of his family were sitting near us during the play off game. Look good that day and played well against us

Hooker, isn't he?

Does that mean someone is moving on?

Scott Grix also joined Rhinos as assistant coach FT. I imagine there must a replacement for him and Finn.

He is a hooker. Brandon can’t go on for ever so getting a decent young player in makes sense. If it’s true

Let’s hope whoever we get in keeps the team’s fitness leve as high or higher than this season. This has been the fittest we have been in a long time

Brandon is 26.

Kyle Wood is 33 so if anyone I'd assume it's to replace Kyle?

Carrying 3 quality hookers seems a lot to me but who knows!

No real wish to see Will Maher back - similar but not as good as Dan Murray- given a choice would much have preferred to keep Titus Gwaze, who would also probably have been cheaper.

Big shoes to fill in Scott Grix who has done a noticeable tremendous job with the fitness levels of the squad , Simon will have to find someone he trusts to fill this position. Regarding the rumoured recruitment so far here’s my 2 peneth , are the players potentially coming in better than the ones going out ( so king , doro , Maher vs barber , gwaze , Morris) I think it’s close tbh barber probably had his best season yet and was instrumental in some breaks , offloads and tries comparable to king who scored 14 tries and multiple assists in a weaker side ( king seems a more destructive forward but from what I’ve seen his work rate needs improvement) Then doro vs gwaze who are very closely matched infact I’ve rewatched the fax vs Widnes games and it’s a good battle between them too , no doubt doro has great potential but so does gwaze . Then Morris n Maher , Morris a great servant of the club with a great offload and difficult to put down , struggled a little with fitness. Maher has played 3 seasons at superleague , 100 % commitment brings great culture but probably lacking a bit of punch for a man his size and low leg speed however dominates the ruck most of the time by landing on his front for quick ptb . Appreciate Knowles has left but only played a few minutes and impossible to judge . Overall I’m pleased with the ones mentioned however I still feel we need a plan b forward especially for the early part of the season when the ground is slow , a Lewis bienek type forward who admittedly does less minutes but is massively destructive, I think we need that balance in the interchange. Grixs’ philosophy of playing the long game is fine but you have to not to be too far behind ( like fev at home ) to make it work.

Watched some Tom inman highlights, tackles hard a bit like bourouh , not has dynamic as amir but better distribution and good left foot kicking game .

P.S Also hoping with the Warrington academy connection that Cole Oakley kicks on he’ll have some familiar faces with doro and inman and if he has a 2nd season like tibbs could play a bigger part .

Happy with all the rumoured signings so far and think Will Maher would be a very good signing, the games I have watched him play for Hull KR I have been very impressed in how much he looks to have improved since he first played or usand would add a bit of size up front for us. One thing that stands out is that we do need a centre now so whoever we have lined up that is the signing that the club are managing to keep under wraps so Im assuming its going to be a big name for us.
