Welcome! Agree on quality over quantity, think we fill the squad with young players and bring in a few top quality others if we can. Agree on Trueman just hope he doesn’t want to follow Powell to Wire.

He says he wants to win trophies so I’m not sure we’re would be a good fit - unless it’s their year this year

Trueman to Warrington + cash, Austin to Cas would be far more likely I'm afraid.
Think we might need to look elsewhere......

Why is it more likely? Cas are skint, there's no way they could afford Austin's wages

I have faith that the club gets all this, it’s obvious to see where the team needs sone support in a couple of areas.

We need to address 6; we need to add some more quality to the pack (maybe just one signing) and it would be good if we could find a pacy back three player who is happy covering wing or FB.

Surely with Lui and Eastmond's wages we can find a very good 6.Treuman would still be my number one choice and even with a transfer fee that deal could be just as affordable as bringing in a good NRL 6.Treuman in theory could be our player for years.If that were to happen a transfer fee would be well worth paying.We just need to offer enough for Cas to sell.

Trueman has always impressed me when I have seen him, especially against us, but I know Cas fans who are happy for their club to cash in on him. Reading the Cas message board it seems they are not alone.

According to his agent he hopes to be able to test himself in the NRL in the not too distant future

Leeds are wary of paying a large fee for Trueman and then having leave for the NRL a year later

[Frosties.]

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Tue May 18, 2021 1:29 pm  

My ideal transfer window for 2022 would be:
Jamie Shaul - huge name not playing at Hull FC with Jake Connor taking the FB role. Competition for Walker, Myler & Broadbent.
Jake Trueman - obvious reasons
James Bentley - again obvious reasons in the second row.
A/O forward.

He wouldn't be able to if he signed a contract for longer.
