Also I’d have Fash above Cator at 13. Offers slightly more.

Both offer little v top super league players

Fash offers a little aggression but that's it

Neither these are good enough for a team wanting to challenge

I’ve often thought Carlos would make a decent 13, good defence and balance, he’s probably worth a go and would possibly offer a bit of attacking strike in the middle, which we lack presently.

Maybe similar to Watkins at Salford

But we deffo need that back row to change

I'd use Carlos in the backrow, he is still strong, makes yards and is a good defender, just lost that yard of pace. Scott looks good at centre so keep him there.

Definitely need another backrower of some quality, must have one lined up, doesn't make sense to release Savelio and Griffin without one signed.

I've seen some highlights with Sailor playing centre too, so that's another option.

Have said the same about Carlos. Reminds me a lot of Watkins and he's been superb for Salford in the backrow.

No chance

Yes dwyer didn't perform really for us but a good Brad dwyer over the years is far better than Morgan Smith who was a bit part player at most super league clubs he's been at

He left Warrington when he was 20 but still played a couple of dozen games. He wasn't a "bit part player" at London in 2019 and he wasn't a "bit part player" at Wakefield this season.

Do you never check these things?

Well he has to do something for us next season.
For me needs to be given the chance in the second row like we did with Griffin.
Strong and decent defence i think he can do it
lets hope Smith sees it too and doesnt keep using him in the centre
Second row is still looking incredibly weak

Carlos hasn’t been a top class centre for 3 years now.
Either try him at second row or offer him to other clubs.

I like this signing. Upgrade on Ben Mc and Dwyer in one player.


Can see the direction of travel with the recruitment, and it’s pretty refreshing.

I think we are sorted at prop. Can he play 7? Or kick goals?
