What’s with bringing all ex players back, shall we get half the Leigh team back while we at it.

I liked Livett at the time, but that ship sailed long ago. I assume it’s just short term cover for Nicholson though, so limited choice for that.

Would make more sense to recall Longstaff and give him a shot to prove himself with him being out of contract at the end of the season.

The way the disciplinary panel are with name calling, i think we would get too many bans for players using the steve price description for his strength within earshot of referees.

We are wafer thin as far as forward back up goes. Not sure everyone has thought through who would play if we had a couple of forward injuries. Despite reservations ... I would sign him now.

I'd prefer Jai Whitbread myself

Yes. Whatever ... but we need more forwards capable of playing half a game at Super League level. Thankfully Green's performance last match eased the situation but we are thin & we cannot afford to be fickle. We don't need new stars but a few foot soldiers would help. Rob Mulhern would be handy now.

I completely agree with this ... Still too many playing fantasy league signings to realise players are being pulled out of position is to compensate for big holes that need some filling now

Surely the club can find some forwards from somewhere.

Get the dough out Karl.

We’ve never been shy of spending money, we need to make sure it’s the right player rather than rushing it.

Tanginoa remains a decent target for 2024 for me, can play prop / back row or 13. Gives us good cover from the bench I’d say.
