Gleeson, Penky, Beswick? That Bowman kid if needs must? He was brought in mainly to cover injuries on a next to nothing pay packet wasn't he?

You already have 3 top class hookers and 2 top class Championship half backs which any side would love to have that strength in depth there. (Remember salary cap cut backs ). I got the feeling Holyrood was more of a luxury (& cracking one as worked out) in your squad rather than an actual required squad member.

in 2009 we had no recognised #6, we only have one for next year as it stands in Danny Jones,

Holroyd was a luxury, but if we could utilise a player such as McNally on the DR system then why not

If it was Black leaving I'd say McNally was a perfect replacement. But if we're wanting to replace Holroyd we need a half back who's a expert in creating trys, not scoring them.

Anyway, we've got Bowman in cover. Why knock him down the pecking order?

Black, Bowman, Jones and Branighan? No need to bring anyone in, just yet.

Only Jones has signed so far though i beleive. Black is going home for christmas so i hope we have some kind of announcement before he goes.

Thought Black was on a 2 year deal reagrdless? We have similar lads at Widnes, everyone threating about their futures and want announcements but if under contract why would clubs need to state anything?

Black is definitely here next year. 100%.
