Blocks an overseas spot, (would that be our final spot) but a ready made starter, Tom Briscoe sees out his contract as utility cover.

With our backs being so young, they’ll bring another back in and are scouring overseas for both back and forward from overseas aswell as UK and plotting what’s best for them.

Hopefully get someone with real pace for the wing. Get a line break and they're under the sticks

With L.Briscoe leaving I can see Us using last Quota spot on a NRL Winger not too many available but someone like Edrick Lee or Jorge Tafua could be on the cards they might have struggled with injuries last couple of seasons but I think they'd be top draw in SL. I'd personally take Ken Sio and have him & T.Briscoe fight it out for right wing spot. I'd love us too use our last quota spot on a big overseas prop someone like Taupau or Taukeiaho would be a dream but I reckon we'll go cheap & British on a 5th choice prop. Would anyone take a punt on that Lewis Bienek just been released by Cas didn't really get a shot there or at Hull FC think he might have had some injury troubles, but he's a big bloke and still young could be worth a punt as a 5th choice prop?

We still have Broadbent and Tindall who can cover wing but this does make me wonder if we’re signing someone else.

Edwards and Hall also can cover.

As well as Walker to be honest

I'd question the clubs sanity if they used quota and large amounts of salary cap on a winger right now.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Tue Sep 21, 2021 5:31 am  

does that not depend on which prop is lined up?

Lewis Bienek was a fantastic prospect at London. His career has totally stalled for some reason. Not sure I would bring him in but as a cheap 5th/6th choice prop its not a bad shout.

I wouldnt be suprised if Tindall got released and Will Gatus replaced him in the squad. The issue with Broadbent covering the wing is that hes also needed to cover centre and if you get any injury there Broadbent couldnt cover the wings and you are left with very young kids as cover. Its a difficult one.

Going forward i see Jack Broadbents Leeds future as a winger tho and hes done well there when hes played there.

Austin is an international winger too though
