Off the bench I could see him as an impact player. As a back-rower? I'm not so sure. I don't think he has the pace to punch holes, break and put someone away. I can definitely see him as impact off the bench. Trouble is, with reduced interchanges, I think this kind of tactic needs to be applied with care from the backroom staff.

I agree. Worth remembering that this is the same reason we've gone big with wingers this season and why Huddersfield broke the bank to offer Jermaine McGillvary a new contract - ALL clubs will soon be using wingers as extra props to make up for fewer interchanges.

Make the Phil Joseph signing a biut baffling but worth remembering Martin Vickers was almost certain we'd secured the signature of Ukuuma Taa'i before he renegaded on us and signed for an extra year with Huddersfield. Phil Joseph was brought in as a like-for-like replacement.

Do you guys think we've finished recruiting and are happy to go with what we have got especially with no cap space?

Yeah i think we've finished recruiting although i can see loans being portrayed mid-season.

To be honest i'm worried looking at the pack. The backs look promising, but without a platform punched by the forwards it doesn't matter what back-line we've got. BMM gives me hope but i don't think thats enough, Hauraki and Walne's have to buckle up with their penalty count to keep the pressure of ourselves. I feel if our discipline has improved than last season that'll be a step in the right direction, because its been woeful in recent years. I really hope Tim has focused and addressed this issue. Team spirit also is a massive plus, this alone can carry you home victorious, lets hope the boys can prove my first impressions wrong.

I'm just guessing but I think there's one more quality signing to come

What a coupe that would be

Apart from not being able to keep it in his pants I'd love too see him at Salford.

The type of forward who will be required going forward too take on more of the grunt that the reduced interchange will bring about.

Carney & Ferres could be sponsored by Adam & Eves club.
