Not Matt’s son. Been at wakey all his career. Work horse and tough but he’ll not change a game for you. Strange one this. With him signing for cas next season then the club does right shipping him out whilst they can as it’s a case of divided loyalties and in his best interests for cas to stay up. Wouldn’t have thought he’d be a wiresque signing though but if you need some one to stiffen things up and just do a job then he’ll be a good fit

Ese’ese offered a contract but not done yet. Same with Mikaele.

We need centres not more props. We already have 6. How many do we need?

Well out of Vaughan, Bullock, Harrison, Dudson, Kasiano and Philbin Daryl signed all of them bar one.

Redecliffe, Shingler and Whitehead all have squad numbers too. So just the 9 props available.

I thought we might have too many middles at the start of the season but was wrong. There are always injuries & suspensions and losing two middles during the season plus unavailability left us struggling. You need 5 as a minimum most games. Of course there is always space for a good player (money & cap allowing).
As I have said (once or twice) our squad is wafer thin. When I look at Huddersfield & others we have cut it very fine. I'd like a centre too but have to be realistic. We have limited half-back cover as well. Our squad is so vulnerable even with a few injuries. If we could pick up a quality multi-purpose back ... that would be handy.

We have the worst two centres in the league, I said it in pre season, yet they’re both seemingly undroppable. The mind boggles.
