Warrington wanted Tomkins previously, when we had a chance of signing Clark. On London, that Lamb is rubbish, would really only be interested in Battye or Butler.

Think Battye is very settled and don’t think he’s top 4
material either mate. Strong bloke and plays with great heart but not quite right.

Can't see Cuthbert's retiring,maybe look for a longer deal at another club.

I think he'll see out this year and call it quits. If he was going to retire, I'm sure he'd have decided by now and would want a send off from the club.

His body is knackered so I think his next contract is in coaching

I'm pretty sure they said no more big signings to come but everyone seems to ignore that and put anyone available on the wish list. Honestly guys you need to chill your expectations.
Also Leeds if they stay true to form we won't really know who we are interested they are in till its announced or very shortly before eg. Martin

It all depends on the intentions of a couple of contracted players, or if swap deals can be found etc.

Also the availability and cost of the better players we need.

If the stars align, we’re not a million miles off becoming contenders again. I fully expect next year to be a write-off rebuilding season but - I’ll leave it to the club.

To write next season off as rebuilding is only acceptable if the club are actively scouting players for 2021, actual grade A signings who will massively improve us, which I really hope they are as shopping in the bargain basement 3 years out of the last 4 due to being involved in relegation scraps is what is hurting us now.

Correct!! It would be totally unacceptable to write off next season. To do so would be very very dangerous and complacent. Ever season we should be aiming to improve. Weve finished 8th this year. Top 5 should be our aim next season.

Go all the way to Oz to plan haha

You're right, planning, haha, silly idea.

Much likely he is going to sign up all those quality Aussies that we don't have cap space or quote space for.

Who said plannings a bad idea?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Sun Sep 15, 2019 5:35 pm  

I've just remembered Wellington Albert plays for us? Or does he? Did he actually sign a contract for 2 years? Did that happen?

That’s correct, signed for Featherstone on loan mind for rest of the season. Wouldn’t be surprised if he did leave though.
