Walker - Hooley
Briscoe - Olpherts
Sutcliffe - McDonald??
Hardaker - ??
Prior - Lisone
Thompson - Sangare
Mellor - McDonnell

Is that a fair assessment?

Plus Ruan, Roberts and Warren in and Dwyer out. The players leaving are just as important as those coming in. Of those leaving only Hardaker is a real loss.

Yeah I’m inclined to agree.

Oledzki and Tetevano starters

With Sangare, Holroyd, Lisone being the main interchanges. Only way I see Walters leaving permanent is if someone else is coming in to take his place.

Wasn't nene primarily a winger throughout his NRL days?

Genuinely interested in your: the board’s opinions. Is he any good? I know nothing about him.

I really enjoyed watching him as a winger and then centre (to answer Seth's question) in the NRL. Just a big, strong, fast athlete. Then he had bad couple of years with injury and like a lot of players over there, got written off at a pretty young age. Looks like he played Smith's North Devils GF winning team and has gone well with Leigh. If he is still anything like the NRL version I'd say he's a big step up from Sutty.

Looks an exciting player. Shame things stalled for a while. Could be a real punchy addition and add some strike on our left edge, something we’ve lacked for a while

He badly broke his ankle and went off the rails for a while.

Back on props, I can't agree with starting with Oledzki and Tetevano. That's exactly the powder puff front row we've been playing, and I wouldn't want them at 8 and 10 for any length of time. If you start with them against Sts you could be several tries down before you make an interchange. I'd rather see them sub for each other, with the other props rotating amongst themselves.

Morning fellas. Update was yesterday but it was a very impromptu day session lol. Nene is a done deal. He was Ronans top target, apparently it took some negotiating. The swap deal here we are, it was going to be Corey Johnson for an unknown Giants players. It’s not happening as Corey is now happy with his role. Sam Walters wants more game time and might go on Loan nothing definite. We have plenty of cap space left now and could bring someone else in if they become available but we won’t be chasing anyone now. Also regarding the Griffin thing, that is what I was told, as that will be third hand info, so most likely Hull want him gone and Catalans might go for him.

Thanks again Sharky,good news all round,glad we aren’t losing either Johnson or Walters!
