No room for Ferres? I hope we see the best of him this season, after a full pre-season, and injury free, he should be back to his best, in fact the club should be demanding it.

Who do you drop for him?
Thus far imo he's been a poor signing wrt being on a 1st team contract & at the moment he'd be selected on a rotation basis.

Dwyer gives us a proper hooker rotation, he can start whole games and spell Parcell, parcell will still be our number 1 hooker, but Dwyer can push him more than Burrow.

Completely agree, but there's a far better player in there as seen at the previous World Cup.

Briscoe, Watkins, Sutcliffe, Hall, Moon, Myler, Cuthbertson, Parcell, Singleton, Ward, Dwyer, probably the only ones that you’d say are gaurenteed a spot in the 17.

Walker v Golding.
JJB, Ablett, Ferres, Keinhorst, Delaney, Jordan-Roberts, Smith, Walters all battling out for the second row spots
Mullally, Garbutt, Peteru, Oledzki, Ormondroyd, Galloway all battling it out for the forwards.

Genuinely believe this is probably the best strength in depth we’ve had in a while.

First it was Sinfield for 9 million quid......

Then we had Watkins, who was leaving for a Super League record fee.....

Now they are signing Ferres, Briscoe and Suttcliffe, I’m no particular order.
Who actually makes this $h*t up?

If it’s in one of those “fan” sites, it’s wall to wall crap.

Would we have signed Dwyer if Micky Mac was available?
I see he has now signed for Catalans.

Think we'd have still gone Dwyer. When there rumours of us being interested (late 2015 I believe when Ailton's departure was announced) we needed a starting hooker, not the interchange hooker we've gone for now in Dwyer. Add in since then McIlorum suffered a very serious ankle injury and whilst a good WC with Ireland hasn't looked the same for Wigan. The wage difference between McIlorum and Dywer will be significant I'd imagine.
