I have say I have been impressed with the role of Ste Mills and at the recent forum event with Daryl Powell and Matt Ellis saying that the type of person/ character is important to fit in with the vision going forward I am not fussed we are not linked

Agree, if the club don’t think he’s worth it or the type of player they want to bring in then if this years signings is to go by then so be it.

I think Riley Dean could do more for us than Oliver Russell

Well with Lawford picking up an injury there’s an incentive for us to bring in another halfback.

Riley Dean
Ollie Russell
Ryan Hampshire (loan)?

Could be options.

Kay shouldn’t really be an option except forced by emergency.

Been thinking since I posted that and wouldn't Powell have been in charge at Warrington when they let Dean go out on loan to Fev then Cas last season, so maybe he doesn't rate him or maybe they just wanted him to get game time elsewhere ??

Would definitely take Dean, I think he’s quality and is the style of half we need to compliment Russell.

The thing for me with half back is, in the past we have gone for players with potential and some have worked out really well......

But now, if we want to kick on, we need a finished article. Like a young Gale, not someone who might do well but is unproven.

I agree with this, if we are targeting top 6 next season and top 4 beyond then a quality proven half would help realise that.

The problem is there’s not many of them I guess so if there’s not much out there we may have to look for a half who’s improven to some degree till we find that.

Perhaps it’s an opportunity to have a look at some players on loan like maybe Hampshire to see what they could offer longer term in the halves.

I was thinking of a higher level than Hampshire.
Like Hastings or Maloney or French or even Lam when they came over.
