Matt Shaw is reporting that Ryan Hampshire hasn't agreed a new deal at Wakey yet. We could do alot worse than him.

British, Good age, raw pace and can play full back , half and wing to a good standard. Bet he could cover hooker too if needed.

Was in our academy at one point too

Sounds harsh but would it be worth looking at Londons players? They've just announced they're going part time next year.

I thought Hindmarsh and Adebiyi looked handy when they were in SL. But they are on the smaller side of forwards

I honestly think we could get away with 2 solid domestic Props, workhorses, players like Adam Sidlow at Leigh but obviously abit younger. We have Satae and Sao who are always immense, Brown is also good and hopefully will have more trust put in him in the way of gametime. I'd be offloading Matongo and see if any clubs want to take on Bowdens wage.

The biggies for me are using that quota spot for our spine, which needs a huge shot of leadership and organisational skills, if we can get a general in the hooking role or for the halfbacks I'd be offering Houghton and Sneyd around, no transfer fee required just a take on of their wages.

That'd be my plan. Easier said than done, but people get paid for these jobs in recruitment.......

Talk in Rugby media that Hull are extremely interested in Sio Siua Taukeiaho. Don't watch NRL so no idea if it's a non starter or not.

If true it's promising that we are looking at that calibre of player but I thought we are skint!

Let see what next seasons signings look like.
Without trolling, I think you have a few dead wood still signed up for next year hence some of you

now looking DEEP into the championship for players lol

Have Frankie Halton (Featherstone) and Tom Garratt (Dewsbury) been snapped up yet? Not trolling.

Re: Contract Talks & FCs Future : Tue Sep 07, 2021 7:42 pm  

Taukeiaho would be a huge signing. A genuine world class prop.

I'd be over the moon if we got him, but I can't help but think it's agent talk. The Roosters will be desperate to extend his deal, JWH won't last forever. Plus he would have his pick of NRL teams.

Fingers crossed

I suppose I could make an offer to buy Tesla from Elon. Doesn’t matter it’s not going to happen realistically.
As for dead wood, you’ve just signed one of those up for another year.
