Morgan smith done deal according to back page of HDM. Interchange hooker but probably start at 7 until Trueman is back.


Can't see that anywhere but he's been signed a while apparently.
Again on Sailor, been told we had missed out on him and he was Catalan bound so who knows.

The big worry as other's have said is the back row.

McGillivray confirmed he's leaving the giants this morning, said he wants one more year playing:

"I think I'm gone," McGillvary said. "I don't think there is anything here for me. So, it's probably me done. I'd play somewhere else if it was full-time. It would be pretty hard for me to play part-time with my kid being in an academy in Manchester. Training in the evening wouldn't be doable for me. I've been looking for a year deal here or elsewhere, but I don't think that's going to happen.

"I'll never say never. From what I'm hearing, I'm done here. But, if there was an opportunity to go elsewhere as a back-up on a year deal to prove myself, maybe. Or help the younger lads. I'd be up for that."

That sounds ideal for what we want, sign him for a year, even if just as a backup, provides the experience and helps the young lads develop, and acts as a stop gap until a decent winger (Swift has a fall out with Watson) becomes available in 2025

I think the manchester thing would be a struggle for him personally, that's a ridiculous amount of travelling for any deal with us to be worthwhile.

I'd rather keep Mitch than sign Mcgillvary. Gives us cover on the wing and centre.

McGillivray would provide far better quality cover than Mitch

Sailor has a pretty good kicking game , Can throw a decent pass and has a bit of speed also . Wigan have / had French & Field play halfback and they aren't doing too badly .

How is Mitch doing with his injury ? thought it was career threatening ?

Can see the logic in playing Hoy in the halves, will be a huge motivation for him - NRL chronically short of halves but dozens of full backs knocking about. IF he can step up his value & likely return to NRL will soar.

Quite happy with Smith as a backup, improvement on McNamara.

If it happens could use the last spot on another backrower.

Name another non quota player we could realistically sign this season as a back up 7&9.

Is he better than Ben Mac… yes
Is he more versatile than Ben Mac… yes
Will he break the bank… no

The season he was in SL with London, he looked fantastic. Should be a very steady astute signing whilst we manage the overhaul of players
