You have to wonder where Crowther will fit in now.

He’s very well thought of at Wire, he’s been playing injured for a long time now though so bringing in Yates may give him a bit of breathing space to recover/manage the injury prior to the playoffs.

Keep hearing rumours that we have released Trueman from the last year of his deal at Hull to take up an offer at Wakey

Would be a very good signing if we could keep him fit, played his best rugby under Powell.

Truman/Russel/Lino all three have their qualities but it would be strange to have all three. I was hoping we would splash the cash on an oversea half to give us that real X factor

Would hope we are looking more at a fast straight runner in similar mould to Toppo,or in today's world Mikey Lewis.

I would echo your last post Westgate,Woodburn-Hall impressed me very much for HX at FB.Got to say I wasn't aware of his defence,good or bad, but his running with the ball was exceptional.He's one of those players that seem to glide over the ground and made us look flat footed at times.Ideally he'd be 2 or 3 years younger PT,but don't think 29 is too old.A good job could be an issue though.If we have signed a player from the Championship for next season I would hope it would be him.

We are not signing him.

The problem with looking overseas for a decent half is that there are very few unavailable and those that are will be requiring inflated salaries to come.

Whilst the top tier halves in the NRL are still brilliant players there isn’t much behind them, hence seeing the likes of Dodd being recruited by Souths and players like Sezer still getting game time.

If the Trueman links are correct I’d be more than happy, he’s a quality half with a running game.

I still think we will be working on a deal to unload Lino I just don’t see him as good use of a quota spot and he’s had his opportunities in SL and not shown up consistently enough to warrant a place in the 17 in 2025 in my opinion.

If Trueman link is correct better than what we got and younger? Thoughts on Lino going 9 and offloading Hood who was way past is best last year in S L .Got my tin hat on
