Yes it is. Grand Final winners go up to SL.....I think!

Welcome Ryan King , although not a secret, it is a common theme that all new and existing personnel rate Simon Grix, I just hope ‘ fax can keep him for a few more years into super league

Apologies for double entry, vagaries of living inAsia things don’ t always work as you want them to.

Welcome Ryan he should add some strike for us weather that be on a edge or through the middle. I wonder if we are talking to some players that have been involved in the world cup and that is why any news on signings seems to be a bit slower then recent years plus the change in ownership of the club. And we are not the only club in this position i would expect a number of other clubs in the championship to be making signings for some time yet leading up to the new season.

Well it seems we've signed Nick Rawsthorne again.

Really happy with all the signings so far and even this one but it does start to raise alarm bells that we might be struggling to sign a good centre which is a bit of a worry as you would think we had someone lined up when we let a player of Worthingtons quality leave.

I agree , I don’t see rawsthorne as a replacement for worthington, despite worthington not scoring enough tries his overall game was quality, I’m hoping that rawsthorne is cover for the wing positions. Barber also played centre a good chunk of games and his quality versatility will be missed . I’m hoping that cole Oakley has improved much like tibbs did last season. I also think we need cover in the halves , even if it’s a loan signing, I think we were fortunate with injuries in them positions last season and that can’t be guaranteed again .

You've got to think there is a minimum of 4 others on the way in. Assuming all of Salty, Gee & Oakley has resigned, that would take us to 22 for the squad. We would want to run a squad of 26/27 surely?

If we include rawsthorne and joe Martin ( although I don’t see where he fits in ) I have squad at 25 .

Didn’t SG say somewhere we will be running with a smaller squad next season. If so this might be all we are signing.

Defo need another 6/7...

Not sure tbh , the only thing I will say is as this current squad stands it doesn’t look more expensive than last year up to now and both Grayson and durgan said the squad would have more funds available separate from the clubs normal revenue and that’s why the consortium was brought in , but who knows .
