Assuming the quota is still 7 we have 5 signed on for next year:

Austin
J Clark
BMM
Sita
Mamo

Gelling is a possible for one more.

I'm assuming that Widdop isn't going to count on the quota, as even if technically he is not 'Federation Trained', there will surely be an exemption for him given he was born in England and lived here till his teens?

I think that as soon as a player makes a debut with a home nation, Inc Ireland after Brexit, he should be quota free.

Not sure Kenny-Dowall would fit in with Price’s mentality to be honest.

I think he’d be here for a jolly.

Well that rules him out if we're looking for a proper Enforcer, he's a bog standard Prop.

Shaun Kenny-Dowall is supposedly on his way to Hull KR on a 3 year deal. https://www.totalrl.com/hull-kingston-rovers-sign-shaun-kenny-dowall-for-2020/

Absolutely essential we get a strong running prop.
We rely too much on Hill and Cooper.

Oh for the days of Morley, Carvell, Wood and Harrison

I think Gelling applied for British citizenship whilst he was at Wigan.
