Looking forward to it. It was good to hear him (in the clip I saw) play down his stats and talk about his weaknesses. Hopeful that we'll see a much more rounded version of him this year.

Looks like Bateman has signed for the Cowboys

The Bateman deal with us was dead in the water a few weeks ago couldn’t come to an agreement with Tigers as Leeds didn’t want to pay his full salary and Tigers wanted him off their hands as much as possible hence why the deal with the Cowboys happened.

I’ve been told we have contacted Harvey Livett who has just been released by Huddersfield we were interested in him last year when Rohan Smith was still in charge I believe but nothing came of it. He’d add depth to our back row and would also add an option to play loose forward as well.

Thanks for your service. I assume Blease signed Livett when he was at Salford, so it'd make sense, but he'd just be holding back a youngster at this point. He was definitely a talent when he was younger, but not sure what he'd add to a team now, other than options. I'm not so sure we need anything right now. Keep the squad as settled as possible until the season starts, and see who's available at the midway point. Something might come up.

I agree.I don't want to sign anyone who isnt going to be in the 17.He would only block Littlewood a player that the club rate highly.

Livett sounds a bit too close to L. Rivett. Scars of 1999-2000 not quite healed.

Seriously though, he seemed to be a strong running forward who had a habit of cutting us up a few years ago. What happened to his development that saw him out of favour at a club like Huddersfield?

He would add speed to the second row

It's whether Arthur sees it that way though. He's very hard-nosed and I'm not sure that a highly rated youngsters gets picked ahead of a journeyman (for want of a better word) who maybe is 10% ahead in terms of immediate gain.

Littlewood doesn't turn 18 till January, so realistically he shouldn't be anywhere near the 1st team for a couple of years. What the club needs to do is come up with a proper pathway for lads like him, Lumb, McCormack etc. To my mind that would involve time at championship clubs where they are actually going to play. We are short for senior second rowers with only Bentley, McDonnell and Gannon, so a player like Livett on a one year contract would be a good move in my opinion.
