We need a like for like with Hastings leaving, Leeds and Warrington are way ahead when you look at their starting halves for next season.

Corey Norman.

I’m just wondering whether we need him? We’ve got Field and Smith who surely will be running at HB in 2022 so why would Norman sign here to play 2nd fiddle in the halves? It’s a signing which doesn’t make sense at all to me.

It’s the lack of any depth whatsoever that makes a third halfback an absolute must IMO. I think Norman would be first choice tbh, with Smith and Field fighting it out to partner him. We can’t leave ourselves one injury away from Powell/Shorrocks in the halves.

Agreed.

Norman wouldn’t be coming in to play back up, he would be coming as the lead playmaker.

Not seen it mentioned here unless i have missed it, but would nobody take luke gale?

Pretty sure his contract is up at the end of the season with leeds, experienced halfback, as we would like, to go with our younger inexperienced halves and personally i still rate him. He is maybe not on the same level as his cas years, but more then good enough imo.

I mentioned him earlier when his captaincy was stood down at Leeds. Someone said he wouldn’t fit as he is too similar to smith.
