Sivo must be signed by this point.

I got told that he signed almost 3 weeks ago.

Makes you wonder if we may go back for Eseh , although a second row could be useful, no ideal who.

Eseh is raw but he’s big and athletic and pretty aggressive which is what you want at prop. Arthur will know what he thinks after his loan spell.

Think we need another prop to be truly confident of moving a few places up the league next year. To be honest I was far from impressed with Eseh ( he was truly dreadful away at Wire) and he would feel like another project prop. That said, options in the domestic market are very limited and we'd have to pay a transfer fee for a proven option. Byrne at Wigan would be ideal. If you check their site they've had offers but aren't keen to sell. Guess we'll have to put our faith in Blease. He does seem like a man with a plan

EEJ was worse than Sangare. He was dreadful for Cas and Hull in the limited game time he had there.

6am warning on socials

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Fri Oct 25, 2024 11:01 pm  

Pete smith at the YEP has already given the game away (not that we didn’t know who the 6am signing was going to be of course)

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Sat Oct 26, 2024 7:54 am  

Reading between the lines, I think Hall will be back up winger. Connor at centre.

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Sat Oct 26, 2024 9:36 am  

Sivo confirmed.

Hopefully another forward to come

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Sat Oct 26, 2024 11:20 am  

So with Sivo confirmed I reckon our squad is pretty much set for 2025.

Like I've stated previously I've been told Arthur does want to try Handley at Centre so I'd imagine we could see him playing there in the pre season games, if it doesn't quite work out Connor will be our Centre I'd imagine this is the reason he was signed to cover our backline but can see him getting the 4 shirt.

Sivo & Handley will then be our wingers, Ryan Hall will probably be retiring after this season so he's at back up for us hence why I think he'll get the 25 shirt (he's debut number for us)

I've left the 20 shirt vacant because the last update I had we we're still looking at bringing in another middle/ Prop Liam Byrne was the only name I was given last time I'm hoping for another update in the next couple of weeks regarding this.

1. L.Miller (OQ)

4. J.Connor
5. A.Handley
6. B.Croft (OQ)

20.
21. A.Edgell
22. T.Nicholson-Watton

Think Ash will do well at centre if he gets the chance. Back in 2018 he played 20 games there before injury cut short his season. He's a far more rounded player now. Whichever way it turns out, if we are anywhere near full strength there a will be a couple of good players missing out. As it should be.

Re: Transfer Talk V5 : Sat Oct 26, 2024 1:56 pm  

I`m sure Arthur will do work on our defence which looking at our backline certainly needs it.
Unless we go with the mantra of attack is better than defence.
