We've said all along that we are happy to let TS oversee our recruitment for 2024 and with the first name to be firmly linked people are complaining i think the lack of squad depth we have had over recent seasons have allowed underachieving players go unchallenged, Wood is a capable centre who will keep our Centres and Wingers on their toes and will be a good player to slot in should either get injured. If he is going to be a starter every week then we have to trust Tony's judgement, it is certainly a better option in compared to SKD put it that way.

I'm trying to keep a level head and see how the recruitment plays out . I'm sure we'll have holes in the squad still, but we can start moving in the right direction.

I can see us signing both SKD and Wood though, if the rumours about Swift are true.

Just hope that when next season starts we don't have an 80 page thread on how much the squad needs ripping apart again.

The club announce the departure of Chris Satae and to cushion the blow the exciting capture of Wood from HKR.
You cant make it up
He may be a good lad and have a good attitude but we need quality and pace otherwise we will be playing catch up for years

i must have missed the club announcement on Satae
Although we know he is going.

We still have several more signings to make so let's just wait and see who we bring in.
Im just happy that Smith is now in charge of recruitment and retention.

Not seen either announcement tbh

Further proof that a certain someone moans just for the sake of it .

Periods of transition always involve journeymen who will turn up and have a go. That’s what Wood has done for KR and he’ll likely be in a similar position with us. The type of player we’re missing with our lack of squad depth.

As for Satae, he’ll be missed but he’s not worth massive money. Gone missing too many times this year and the move is probably right for him.

Wonder when Evans departure is going to be announced.

Is Senior OOC?

I thought he was but apperently not. Think that makes the decision to let Wood go even more reasonable. They are pretty similar type players, Senior has more pace though.

didnt say announced. I said announce
announced is past tense meaning its happened

you seriously think signing SKD and Wood is the club moving in the right direction?
Some on here would see positives in getting Stanley Gene back into shape
