The nu brown situation is very similar to when we signed Shaun berrigan, a top centre/hooker, but we stuck him in the halves and didn't see the best of him

I'd sign Parcell if we need a hooker, type of player we need and looks like won't be staying at Rovers

Can he play scrum half though?

Has he got an opportunity outside of RL? He could definitely still do another few years surley, still one of the best 9s in SL

nothing confirmed, but reading between the lines he considered it last year,and hes got plans outside of rugby hence his 1 year deal

Fair play to him then, he'd probably get into most SL 17s but rugby league doesn't last forever.

Wonder whether we could de-register Carlos for two months if he’s injured and bring in Jackson Hastings? If we are well under the cap, then we would still have space to do this.

Rovers did that when they signed Willie Peters. Unless that loophole is now closed.

Carlos is no use to us while injured and we need a shot in the arm as our attacking flair is non existent.

As much as it would be amazing, signing Shaun Johnson is a pipe dream imo, even from a financial perspective it would be difficult to afford him.

From the list above I'd look to retain:
Scott- 2 yrs
J. Brown- 2 yrs
Balmforth- 2 yrs
Laidlaw- 1yr
Mcintosh- 2yrs

Can't see Nu Brown staying past this year and reckon Hoy will be off too. We need to be looking at a centre (squad player) a proper 7, minimum 1 hooker, 1 second row and a loose man.

why cant you see nu brown staying ? hes bang average, he hasnt been any better

When you put it like that we're bound to offer him a four or five year contract.
