In the Brad Arthur era Connor is a very good signing. I probably wouldn’t have agreed if Smith was still the coach with his laid back style.

Also think Liam Byrne would be an excellent addition, if he does actually move.

I note the negative comments re Blease already as soon as the first name is linked. Come on guys, Leigh played Salford last night in the playoffs and their squads are full of players you would turn your nose up at. They were 4th and 5th and we were 8th.

Let’s see the whole picture play out and give Blease a chance, he will be a success.

Peter Smith now reporting Momirovski is off home to take up a coaching gig with the Chooks.

That to me means Conner and Sivo will n and that would be us done IMO

I guess that would be a good recruitment cycle, but I would still have liked a big bodied 2nd row to give us a big pack. I think collectively our current backrows are too small, but note either of yesterdays recruits can fill in at 2nd row too. A large out and out 2nd row would have complimented McDonnell / Gannon and Bentley.

I have concerns with Gannon because how is he going to avoid head collisions next year? Is he ruled out for the rest of the year as soon as he takes a bang to the head? I would love him to succeed but not sure how this will be possible.

If Sivo comes in as well, would there be much need for another prop/2nd row? Assuming the starting wingers are Handley and then Hall/Sivo rotation, you've got some big metres coming out of back play, hopefully taking the workload off the props (which are already looking a lot better). I wouldn't be complaining if they went and got another forward, mind.

Unless were looking at some UK based players?
