I'm not too panicked about that missing prop if none's available now, providing we go big for 2026. Still too much needs changing for 25 to be a big year so I'd rather take more time to get in the right players than cobbling a side together in haste.
For me, a lightweight backrower seems to be spaffing out on a contract for what we already have.

Really feel for their supporters who may not be great in terms of numbers, but certainly are in the terms of the backing they give their club. This seems to be a yearly occurrence and you wonder how long the other clubs will think it is tenable. On a practical and selfish note I'm not sure we'd have the cap space to land Watkins should he even be amenable to such a move.

None of the teams in the league are financially viable.
Salford's problem is they don't have anyone able to plug the gap.

He’s just wearing a spare playing shirt from last season, they wear these in training sometimes.

5 of Salfords pack used to play for Leeds so it would hardly be a progressive step!

I would be happy to have Callum back but he's on a large salary so I doubt we could afford him.
