I would be happy for that to happen and possibly another junior to step-up from the academy. I've said it before and I'll say it now we should have 13 first team players and 13 back-up players - one for each position.

FB - Mathers; Thompson
W - Owen; Wainwright
C - Arundel; Evans
C - McGoldrick; ?
W - Dixon; ?
SO - Widders; Orr
SH - Chase; ?
P: - Huby; Higgins; Walker
H: Hudson; Milner
P: - ?; Jackson
SR: - Snitch; Jones
SR - Ferres; Holmes
LF - Westerman; Davies.

By that judgement we need at least one centre, a winger and a decent prop and possibly a junior half/ a new half.

Elima for prop, wood for half (if brierly isnt ready), centre not sure, but widders, thompson and ferres can all cover there.

Why do i get the feeling we will sign Nero? I really hope not

I'd take Blackmore over Nathaniel, Nathaniel can't dive and slides in on his knees, not good in u20's so certainly wont be in the first team.

Hall is a better prop then second rower too, it's where he played for Manly.

Sadly I get the same feeling...really hope that he isn't the "big announcement" that's been talked about lately.

Thread on our board about Westerman coming when does his contract run out?

End of 2012.

250k please.

heard anything of the rumour he signing for wire?

soz if topic already been discussed on here couldn't find it.

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=465227 Been discussed on that thread. Not OOC until 2012, has a young child over here and Cas are unlikely to sell - they stated that he wasn't going anywhere earlier in the season - unless a ridiculous offer comes in - and I mean ridiculous. Oh, and he gets linked every year with a different club. So far this year he's been linked with Hull FC and Leeds (again!) and never, ever goes anywhere. People need to stop listening to silly pub talk.

Why would Wire want him? they have Ben Harrison who is doing a great job for them at the moment

Surely they would prefer Dale Ferguson, that world-class forward playing for Wakefield?

harrison will be used better as a prop and we need a proper loose forward
