Sam smeaton has signed for you lot from Sheffield
Also Moore and Sharp from Fev You got a good winger and centre there for next year

That confirms what I had heard JT and maybe a couple more including Gav Bennion was mentioned before.
Fax will very likely not be making anything official with the current comp still underway.

I can understand why Moore is being moved out for Thacks but can't understand why Sharp is being let go?

Moore is a love him or hate him character but can produce the goods when he has his adult head on.

Personally out of all these players maybe only Tonks would make our team squad , I've been told we have already got Smeaton,the rest are not up to Fax standard,we must move forward next season,I'm sure RM knows this we need quality at 6 and 7 ,I would love to see Ridyard guiding Fax around the field.

I think it is a fine balance in attracting TOP talent and keeping the TEAM ethic that has served us so well. Whilst we DO NOT need any "Billy Big Bollux" type players, we definitely do need match winners like QLT, Taulapapa, Brierley, Ridyard etc.

RM will know who he wants but we have to face facts that Muzza will only take us so far, much as he has impressed me this year.

On another note, will Miles be fit at any point this yr or has he written it off? At K-Town he told me he was aiming for the middle-8s which I thought was a tad early. Dare I say it but is he as good as QLT (not been contentious but an open question as I really like Miles).

I don't understand Sharp either as he actually said he wanted another contract a Fev but suppose money talks (or Sharp doesn't want him) As for Moore he too inconsistent with Fev on his day very good but sometimes you can see he doesn't want to be here and he would confirm it if you asked him A new environment and coach might be what he needs

Pretty certain RM will be wanting and signing players he thinks can improve and integrate well into the ranks.
Tommy is no spring chicken, but is doing a marvellous job, so we do need wing cover as the day will come for Tommy to hang his boots up in the not foo distant future. Smeaton will rotate well with Divs and Manning. We also need cover in the halves, Moore can organise, kick, pass and the run the length of the field if needed.
And they look to fit into his strategy of getting players happy to play part time, and possibly play for a full time contract in the near future.
Let Sheffield and Featherstone do their thing, I still think the best signing we have is Richard Marshall, I trust him 100 %.

Sam Smeaton looks to be done as does Turner to Fev, the others remain to be seen if true JT.
All part of the rumour mill for this time of the year.

we should go all out for Danny Craven imo

Turning it around, who do we think will/should be leaving?

I would be calling a Taxi for a few players,I'm not going to name them wouldn't be fair with the season still going but I'm sure RM knows who is going.
