Someone now mentioning it on Casforum

Putting his age to one side , His disciplinary record isn't great either

He's cooked. Wouldn't go anywhere near him

Real lack of British players, this is why we can't replace as many as people wanted and the likes of Taylor, Griffin and maybe Houghton could get new deals (All playing well too), so we have to take some risks with Uk based players, if

Tindall is replacing Wynne then I'm ok with that

Ashworth for Evans I'd be happy with too, probably a better, younger player, who will be cheaper and gives us a quota spot.

Looks like he had a fall out with an ex and was stupid, a few years ago, hopefully learnt from that one off incident.

Key is signing 3 overseas players who improve our 17, this season we had 2 overseas players who couldn't get into our 17, this shouldn't happen.

Think we need 3 more forwards on top of Ashworth (prop, backrow and hooker), hopefully we can get an English hooker and use an overseas slot on a winger or another forward.

Definitely give Griffin another year, unsure on Taylor and time for Houghton to retire.
Ashworth seems to be settled now in his personal life so hopefully TS can get the best out of him IF he does sign.
Very happy with Tindall. A big upgrade on Wynne both in ability and professionalism

Hopefully we’ve seen the last of Covid excuses too. Does anyone know what happened to Jones, seems as though he’s lost his way at Hudds also? Is he injured long term?

Ideally I wouldn't keep Houghton for another, but if Balmforth goes, are we able to sign 2 hookers?

Taylor deserves another year, been good this year, first year he has been injury free and it is showing.

For me I think Griffin and Taylor have shown that they still can still play and have something to offer the club under the right Coach *& environment and are worth a 1 year deal especially with the current available player pool being quite limited. As good as Houghton has been this season so far, in all honesty I think one more year would be a year too far him.

I agree about Houghton, but can we recruit two better hookers than him?

Market is pretty meh here and in the NRL.

Only ones that jump out are Leeming, Turpin or if we take a punt on Jayden Berrell but not sure if he'd get a visa

That's the conundrum I guess Dave and whether he can carry the same level all through next season too.

I'm not fussed on losing Dwyer despite the possibility of Houghton retiring as he is still too much in the headless chicken mould but doing a job needed at present.
If we could sign a player like Ackers or similar then I'm sure we could find a decent 9 in the lower leagues without breaking the bank if Balmforth goes or isn't quite ready. TS spoke well of Balmforth recently so not sure whether he's staying or going, most thought Staveley was as good as leaving yet he's signed a new deal so who knows.

What is clear though is we certainly need a quality 9 regardless.

There's an interview with mark Flanagan this morning where he says him and his brother made accounts and posted on the Salford forum he was signing for cas, the RL press picked up on it and as a result he got more money out of Salford and a 3 year deal rather than a two year one... best not to believe the forums!
