Fev have let a bunch of players go. I wouldn't mind Davies, always has a good game against us. One year contract would be good.

Just what we need. Very pleased with this signing.

Really pleased to see Davies signed, a proven top Championship forward who often seemed to play well against us.

Squad is shaping up well for another strong season all being well.

Re: 2024 Squad and Recruitment : Fri Nov 03, 2023 9:42 am  

1 - Tom Holmes
2 - Ben Blackmore
3 - Jayden Myers
4 - Kieran Gill
5 - Jorge Tuafua
6 - Lee Gaskell
7 - Jordan Lilley
8 - Baldwinson
9 - Mitch Souter
10 - Michael Lawrence
11 - John Davies
12 - Chester Butler
13 - Daniel Smith

14 - George Flanagan/Barraclough/Jowitt
15 - Keven Appo
16 - Ebon Scurr
17 - Eribe Doro

Players in with a shout, depending on how preseason goes: Okoro, Arundel, Hallas, Oakes, England

So, that’s what I’ve got so far. Davies slots in ahead of England for me.

I’m not sure what’s left in the budget. Will be driven partly by ticket sales, which are good by all accounts.
1 more good quality prop? Although Jamie Gill is our best reserves/academy prop so he may be enough cover at the moment and see what comes available during the season.

I’d be happy with this at the moment and keep sone reserve budget for possible upgrades later on

I'd like to see us keep Matongo. Didn't let anyone down when he played. Would be cheap as he was on a pay when you play deal I believe.

Really like the look of our squad, we're so far ahead of others in terms of our recruitment IMO that being said I don't want us to get complacent as a couple of injuries and we start to look much weaker. Still need a second Hooker IMO

Another half back?

Wildie would be perfect with his versatility.

But I would be fairly happy to go with what we have and ensure we have money to spare in case we get hit by injuries. Great that this squad will get a full pre season together now.

I got my first season ticket since 2019 based on how the team finished 2023 and how it's being strengthened.

Squad booster and the club working well together If we can generate more members hopefully more signings of this quality can be possible Wildie gone to Oldham with Elijah Taylor so they are spending come cash and shows what we are up against, Oldham and Trinity’s spending shows how important Squadbooster and new members are www.bullssquadbooster.co.uk if people have a fiver a month to spare?

Shame that but good for Oldham.

Not sure what the diagnosis was for Masi's shoulder injury but it's gone on him about three times IIRC. Without wanting to sound harsh it may be better to look at a less injury prone player. I feel for the guy as he was starting to look the part. Has Marcus Green re-signed?
