With the exception of Rhyse Martin, I can barely think of a decent game or even more than a few good moments from all the 9 outgoing players combined.

Don’t think any of them changed the course of one single match.

Given I can think of a few games that Brad Dwyer changed , I think Blease has got it right.

The incoming players should be able to really influence and contribute at first team level. The squad looks quite thin but I’d rather have someone in who can give the opposition a headache rather than a bunch of selling platers. If injuries strike we could struggle but given we have finished 8th twice in a row I’d much rather the Blease approach and play the youngsters.

At least we have more chance of giving the top sides a proper game next year

Makes you wonder if we may go back for Eseh , although a second row could be useful, no ideal who.

Eseh is raw but he’s big and athletic and pretty aggressive which is what you want at prop. Arthur will know what he thinks after his loan spell.

Sivo must be signed by this point.

Will be interesting to see who else in the next month or so

GH did a lot of big talk when we signed Miller which was similar to when he signed Achurch on £100k pa plus. £260k sounds over the top but who knows

Sivo signed a 3 year deal.

Wouldn't know him from Adam but I'm imagining an Australian Jon Wilkin. Ewww.

Caine and Fletcher went on to say look what happened to Ryan Hall when he came over here.
Didn`t score one try yet scored a million in the UK.
Never ones to blow things out of proportion those Ozzies.
Must be down to their ancestors being criminals in the UK.

Three years makes sense,he will want that last big deal.
I assume parra help with first season only ?

Probably, might be a 1 year deal with a 2 year mutual extension to work on the cap compliance.

I got told that he signed almost 3 weeks ago.

Think we need another prop to be truly confident of moving a few places up the league next year. To be honest I was far from impressed with Eseh ( he was truly dreadful away at Wire) and he would feel like another project prop. That said, options in the domestic market are very limited and we'd have to pay a transfer fee for a proven option. Byrne at Wigan would be ideal. If you check their site they've had offers but aren't keen to sell. Guess we'll have to put our faith in Blease. He does seem like a man with a plan

EEJ was worse than Sangare. He was dreadful for Cas and Hull in the limited game time he had there.

6am warning on socials

Pete smith at the YEP has already given the game away (not that we didn’t know who the 6am signing was going to be of course)

Reading between the lines, I think Hall will be back up winger. Connor at centre.
