Good player going forward, scores tries for fun and can shift. Not that great defensively though so he will need to work on that. Not sure i’d have used a quota spot on him in super league if i’m honest but he’s a damn good signing for next season.

Lets just worry about that after next season, hopefully. No quota limits in Championship. I certainly prefer Walmsley general style of running towards try line rather than cross field.

I know a lot on here like kershaw but personally think we have to be looking at better. Personally don't think he his not that good. Yes he puts a lot of effort in but poor defence and if you are that height to compete with the best you have to have the x factor which he doesn't

There wasn’t a try scored down his edge in 3 consecutive games mid season and very few scored down his edge till last game (this was down to Dagger getting injured and not sliding leaving that side short numerous times).

Kershaw will be much more effective at championship level and I’d be happy to see him sign.

Like Kershaw, think he would go well in Championship . Like all wingers got to make space for them to be effective ,could not do that last season with the drab rugby we play, Kershaw on one wing, Walmsley on the other .Happy with that

That would be my preferred option too but think Kersh may get his head turned by a SL offer.

If we could get McGillivary in his place though don't you think that would be an improvement?

I’d prefer Kersh but Jerry would be a decent replacement if we cannot keep him.

Too old, the younger the squad with enough quality to play in S L the less it will cost to rebuild for S L though think it will be a struggle to go up next year, with Cas and Featherstone there.Think the powers that be will go out of there way to make shore it does not happen

I agree us three wouldn't be up there together, but if Fev get promoted (and I have a niggly feeling they won't) then they could easily swap out them or Cas for us again next year.

There's no reason why all 3 can't be in Super League.....apart from the capability to achieve IMG points.
The only points they compete for is the location, which is fixed whether all in or not.

Could you honestly see that ever happening though? I can't.
