Never have Bowden and Shaul, but Wakey took those two.

Someone would sign Taylor in SL, but not on the wage he is now.

Absolutely.

I'll be disappointed to see Connor leave but if the club decides to cash in now, we don't want another situation where we a desperately scrambling around for a replacement and end up with an expensive flop.

Hudds have released Levi on compassionate grounds.

Fages to 9, Connor to 7?

Or he stays here

Straight swap. Levi for Connor. We could do we another hooker

Well both Connor and Taylor are in the new promo for season passes……

Given that he gets paid either way, and the need to commute or relocate, what is the incentive for Taylor to move to Leigh? Game time and shop window doesn't seem a very likely motivation, given where he is in his career. Play a few more games for the club you love and and hopefully leave them on relative high note to pursue other business interests... feels like a no brainer to me.

Also, if he is still SL quality why not just accept he's now poor value but can still do a job if you'd be paying the above-value part of his wages anyway? From everything Pearson has said, it seems reasonable to assume you're not massively constrained by the salary cap for 2023. I mean, if you get a fee for Connor, I suppose that may change things.

"You can join the some of the competition’s most exciting players like Jake Connor, Chris Satae and Joe Lovodua, as we look to reawaken the MKM Stadium next season."

Could be just a load of marketing spiel to help shift membershisp but it's still good to see Jake's name mentioned in the article. Hopefully means he is still heavily involved in our plans moving forward next season. Obviously still time for things to change though.

Just to add to that. Bowden was very good for trinity when he signed from you guys. Was quite impressed by him and seemed to get better as the season went on and he got more game time. Certainly pleased he’s with us next season.

Though I think sometimes players stagnate at clubs and sometimes a move just kick starts a players form.

Pleased the move has worked out for him and Trinity. Hope he stays injury free and continues his good form.

If Jake stays which I hope he does and with the addition of a quality second row I'd be satisfied with the squad for next season.

Some fair points MR, I think their are a couple of reason he could go, longer contract and more chance of playing regularly, but I tend to agree I can't see him moving that far away, as he has too many business ventures in Hull, maybe a club he could commute to would be a better option. I think he will stay at Hull and try and earn a new deal for that he needs a big start to the season, keeping injury free is key.

Think it's more likely to be either Shaul or Griffin going if anyone.

I think satisfied is the right
Outs: Bowden, Gale, Reynolds and Mau and Johnstone
Gains: Sutcliffe, Hoy, Dwyer and Trueman.

Hard to argue that with the exception of Ma'u the players a big upgrades on paper.

If we can sign a player to replace Ma'u, then i'd be happy with the squad for next season, which should see some improvements and challenge for the top 6.

Squad should be better for young players gaining some valuable experience last season and ready to step in if needed.

Injuries as ever are key.
