The Moore and Huby news is not exactly a surprise but McMeeken is. Great signing for what I've seen of him this year.

Huby = gutted !!!

We offered him a long term contract and he turned us down - again, as expected. His best mate Brett Ferres probably lured him over.

Happy that Clare and Millington have both signed long term deals though.

McMeekan was leaked in the YEP yesterday.
Glad about the contract extensions.
Huby..... Will be replaced!

Well if the replacement for Huby is anything like the replacement for Clark you'll probably end up with Ryan Bailey

Surprised it's Moore in....Jamie Ellis out !!!!

maybe not 'position/position' replacement. But to me really odd, releasing Ellis, and signing Moore....Weird

As we are officially the feeder club to Cas wish you all the best next year. If you count ex Harlequins Orr and Gale there are 9 London players in your squad next year. Hope you get more out of them than we did.

It doesn't bode well signing players from a team that could only manage one win all season. A player that has failed at most clubs (Moore) and a below average halfback from another relegated club (Gale). The only player I rate is Roberts, the rest are nowhere near as good replacements as what you've let go. Good luck with Denny Solamona and the like.

Absolute tosh.
Many would have said the same last year. Signing players from bottom-placed teams (Channing, Dorn), Championship players (Finn) and players who couldn't get in their team (Sneyd). Didn't work out too bad in the end.

Gale has been very good playing behind a very weak pack in a very weak team. Junior Moors and Ben Roberts have been playing regularly in the NRL and getting good reviews. Matt Cook has some excellent stats considering he's been playing in such as weak team. Solomona is definitely one for the future, as in McMeekan. Neither will be on big money and offer us depth and the possibility of developing into good players.
The only player we can't really replace is Clark - whoever we signed would be a step down.

Trust me Scott Moore is NOT Daryl Clark. McMeeken is a big lad who never gets involved, Solomona hardly ever shows his pace and cannot defend. If Powell can turn these 3 around, I know he'll be coach of the year next year too. But I very much doubt it, unless he's got a magic wand.

I for one am actually excited about scott moore, once a lad with a lot of potential and has shown only briefly IMO his full potential over his career so far. Hopefully playing regularly again in a better team may see him improve to see more of that 'potential'. Gotta move on from clarky he did nothing last night.
