I’m starting to think we release King, L Briscoe (maybe McLelland), and whoever else and go for a proper prop. Quality not quantity.

We have great youth in the system, if we get rinsed with injuries give them a chance.

Agreed, Quality players backed up by Quality youth.

I would let Martin go keep Hurrell on reduced terms and keep King.
I also thought we should have taken Harrison from Fev.

We were being linked with Scurr from Bradford recently.

I don’t know whether we need a better prop than King, or a higher impact second row than Martin…with respect to Harrison I want us to push the quality bar higher and stop signing squad players.

I would like a prop in the mould of Kasiano, Paasi, Satae who brings big impact from the bench and can change a game. We have struggled against all three of these type of players this year.

I think we are in for a very interesting few months in terms of signings and retention. I still wouldn’t be surprised if we bring in another two or three names. Martin stays and I feel that Hurrell and Vuniyayawa will leave the club, as well as L Briscoe and Mclelland.

Agar has said that we will run a bigger squad next season which is an interesting thing to hear. Field, Burton and Johnson likely to get squad numbers, with Sinfield.

I would like a world class winger! But the sad fact is that we will not have Cap space so all of you having wish lists get real! With Bentley, Austin and Sezer added to Gale, Prior and Tetevano there is not likely to be much space left even if Luke Briscoe, McClellend, Lui and King are not retained I still think Hurrell or Martin will have to go for us to be compliant next year. So I think we will have to dream on and wait until 2023!

You might be right mate but Warrington have seen something in him and he could have bridged the gap between our first team props and the younger lads coming through.
Anyway too late now.
Like`s been said it will be interesting who comes/goes over the next few weeks.

Not sure we will spend big on a winger. Yes we need more pace in the team generally but IF the plan next season was to have Newman at 3 and Sutcliffe at 4 then you could bring in Offiah in his prime and he’s not getting much/any quality ball from his centres

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sun Aug 08, 2021 6:07 am  

To be fair to Liam he can be greedy but on that left hand side he can put a decent pass out sometimes.

Both prefer to run for themselves though.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sun Aug 08, 2021 6:35 am  

The point I was making was we have no cap space for another big expensive signing in any position. Yes I agree about centre but it along with any other positions will probably have to wait until 2023. Maybe space for an experimental addition somewhere on a 1 year deal but I doubt anything big even if all off contract players leave.
