I generally wouldn’t be surprised if we went with Lui and Gale and Myler off the bench as an interchange keeping Dwyer on for 80 minutes (wouldn’t be my choice mind)

Re: 2020 | Squad talk : Mon Sep 02, 2019 12:16 pm  

Think Lui and Myler will be our halfs next season unless we can some how offload Myler, since Lui has come in it Myler has preformed better but we need to bring in a top class half to get back to top.end of super league personally don't think gale is right player to do that.

I would guess - OUT: Abblet, JJB, Crosby, Ferres, Myler, Peteru
IN: Mellor (already confirmed), Gale, Connor

I would hope it's something like this, and maybe another decent signing too. With the signings Warrington & Wigan are making it need's to be a productive window or we could be in trouble again.

Why does everyone think Crosby will go?
He has 2 years left on his contract and is a Sinfield signing. He'll be in the 17 most weeks if fit next season.

Agreed. The biggest movement would be overseas players. The club are not going to fork out loads of transfer fees, so the only way to get the quality now to improve, is overseas. And the only way of doing that is to shift overseas first.

Crosby has already said he's targeting Boxing Day as a comeback.Ferres possible he's off contract,we already know JJB is retiring,Abblet still under contract unless medically advised why would you walk away from probably his last decent contract.Myler also contracted but if Leeds decide to sign Gale he may decide to look elsewhere.Peteru also contracted.On Connor Hull have stated that they have no intension of selling so unless that changes he wont be going anywhere.

The overseas players would have to agree to it so not that easy.

The only change I can see is Gale coming in, I think talk of shifting 5-6 contracted players is pie in the sky

Impressive from Muizz, the Chairman of the Prop Forwards Union on twitter is less impressed though, https://twitter.com/ThunderRugby/status ... 2947084290

Never see him take a backward step despite not being the tallest. Would echo some other comments on here so far: look we are just not going to see loads of new signings for next season. We've done well to shift a couple of contracted players out mid season, but we have commitments to players and you can't just tear it all up without consequences. We also have to mange overseas quota and salary cap. Manage your expectations all. There's a bit of signings fever sweeping the board. The current squad finishing this year is good enough for mid-table at least next year. Ava, Lui and Martin are all first team starters and significant signings. We have a clutch of Academy prospects who will be closer to first team action with another 6 months into them too. Having Ward and Crosby back won't hurt either. The club will do what it can but don't forget KS has only been in post about a year now; this is a long-term project to turn the oil tanker around.
