Royston, for me, is the most skillful outside back not playing in SL. I'm not convinved Yere would make it in SL, btw. And he's signed a three-year deal with Sheffield.
Yet again Bradford's decline is shown. Back in the day when they were a good team, they had the likes of Deacon, Hape, Vaikona, Vainakolo, Pryce, etc ... Now they are signing championship players, Sibbit and Ainscough, adding to players like Platt and Worrincy. I reckon they could be contenders for the wooden spoon next season.

You haven't seen Platt play centre have you?
I'll bet you a grand that we don't finish bottom next season. Put your money where your mouth is.
Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.
Given their alarming lack of recruitment, I'd say Quins are favourites to finish last currently.
Wakefield are also going through a transitional phase too but they have that notable knack of being written off and proving most people wrong. I cannot wait already.
