According to our local newspaper, we are looking for a winger, presumably to replace Ratu.

Don’t know of many that are available, which are none quota, BJB at Wakey?

Would rather us take a punt on Ashall-Bott.

Not much out there unless we can get someone on an early release.

Wonder if the Jones transfer will cause a domino effect of transfers

Maybe, we probably can’t move till Josh Jones situation is sorted.

On a separate issue, I hope we are looking at tying up Connor, “not physically” his contract will end at the end of next season, and I would presume he’ll be much sought after.

Wouldn’t really like to see us go for him, might be young but from what I’ve seen he hasn’t looked that good, obviously not me who makes the final decision, would like us to take another punt on another 7s winger with a bit of pace and explosive power to fully replace ratu, or offer jones and some money for Johnston aha I wish

Could well be now.

I can see that happening. Unfortunately I can also see us having to part pay his wages to offload him so we can bring someone in.

Took a look at the list of released players from a post on total RL from October and tried to update it the best i can.

Removed non fed players and players who have got new contracts.

Got nothing else better to do....

Its pretty slim pickings for the OOC players.

Outside backs only BJB jumps out, but I'd be hesitant to sign a 33/34 year old.

Baitieri could be a good pick up. Can play backrow or 13. Other than that its Tyrone McCarthy or Anthony Mullally (signed a short term deal in france), I'm not massively keen on either of those two.

I like Casty but at 36 is he too old?

Both Ed Chamberlain and Tom Olbison will have links with Hodgson from his Widnes days, but hopefully we're not looking at them.

Catalans Dragons
Lucas Albert
Jason Baitieri
Remi Casty
Artur Romano

Hull KR
Kyle Trout

Leigh Centurions

London Broncos
Gideon Boafo
Jacob Ogden
Jordan Williams

Salford Red Devils
Ed Chamberlain
Tyrone McCarthy

Toronto Wolfpack
Quiten Ngawati
Anthony Mullally (Joined Carcassonne)
Tom Olbison
Hakim Miloudi

Toulouse Olympique
Clement Boyer
Tony Maurel

Wakefield Trinity
Tedai Gwaze
Ben Jones Bishop

Warrington Wolves
Cole Oakley
Dec Patton

Wigan Warriors

Id take a punt on Ngawati, looks a good athlete though very raw. Good project

Plays inside centre at union and seems to be a good offloader, not sure he has the pace of Ratu but seems like he doesn't mind mixing it in defence.

Bott's an exciting runner but has plenty of weaknesses. I totally agree about trying to get another winger like Ratu. Fijian backs have such a high success rate, and there's so many of them in the forces. West Wales currently have 4 Fijians, they'd have 5 if Keighley hadn't signed one.

Innes Senior dream goes up in smoke. Hes joined Wakey on a season long loan.

I wonder if Huddersfield offered us the other Senior twin in exchange for Jones.
