Still can't believe we aren't looking for some more depth at centre.

We don't really have much strength in depth anywhere in the squad if you take out our young players which leads me to think we either have a reasonable amount of cap left or the salary cap management still isn't great. Maybe we've had to pay over the odds for some players but realistically we haven't got that many senior players who won't be in the starting 17 if everyone is fit

Not many teams do, mainly because of the cap, take Wigan, while there pack is strong, there back ups for FB, centre and wing are all young very inexperienced kids.

Would we take any of Salford players? We should of been in for Bullock to start with so maybe he's one

I’d take Deon Cross, think he’d be a great addition and improve our options at centre. Other than that possibly Bullock or Ormondroyd as the front rower, Hellewell might not be a bad option for a bit more cover in 2nd row. Guess it all depends on what cap space we have available, Cross would probably be the biggest hit in terms of cap space I would imagine.

Singleton is a walking yellow or red card and we should stay well clear.Take Cross though.

Manlys dropped there interest in Bateman, looks like he really is clubless for next year, think we'll show some interest? Hope we're keeping an eye on cross, bullock and Watkins, think any would enhance our squad
