It's slim pickings really.
I can't see us tempting anyone over from Leigh, although I would certainly take Hopkins.
The two decent Halifax props have recently signed new deals.
Dewsbury have just signed Matt Groat and Tonks from Sheffield. Aizue has left them and signed for someone else (I forget who).
I would take Dollapi from London but I'm not sure he's ooc/available.
Keegan Hirst was another who looked decent, but I think he signed a new deal recently as well.

We've been linked with Clark from Doncaster, who seems like he could add some grunt.

And then we're kind of left with Fev and the lower league clubs. Who are the Fev props? Baldwinson?
He must have improved a hell of a lot since he was with us. He got the Championship young player of the year award but I wasn't impressed by him at all when he was here on loan. At any rate, I think Leeds have recalled him.

Samir Tahraoui will be returning for next season. His loan deal at Keighley has ended and he is back at Odsal for 2016. Confirmed by the Cougars today.

Wowzers, that's a lot of recruiting that needs to be done!
How old is Paul Wood now? A few years ago I would have jumped at the chance of us signing him, but he seems to have dropped off a cliff career wise.

Let's get Carvell in - I'm told he's a loyal guy who will really be committed to the cause

I'd take Matt James back, and have a look at Remy Marginet he was a handful when we were whooped. A few of those are already signed up or returning to loan club and some are retiring.

wasnt it reni matua who did all damage against us at odsal?. The one who went on loan to Salford for qualifiers and I think has now signed for leigh.
