Happily!

https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1103755990?-4338:2393 Us & HKR have reportedly offer Dylan Napa a contract it would mean we would have too release one of our overseas players already contract most likely Bodene Thompson, it would be a good way too spend the Salary Gale leaving freed up could pay Thompson off with it & then see if Napa takes our offer, Napa could be decent impact prop most definitely.

Can we loan Bodene to Fev for the season or would his registration (and quota spot) still be with us.

I dont think that is allowed.

I guess if Bodene's on, say £40-50k a year, there would be options of paying him out the final year/subsidising salary to a Champ club or something. Nothing against him but he'd clearly be the first OS spot under scrutiny if we needed to make space.

Not the end of the world if we can't put another high quality middle into the squad but it would make our credentials much stronger. Worry with Napa would be over his technique and whether we'd see him on the field enough. It would figure: Agar seems to like Tet at 13 (probably to get more game time into an expensive asset). A front four of Oledski, Holroyd, Prior and Napa would have some presence about it. We still lack a bit of whack.

Napa would be decent. Wish we still had Stevie Ward, think he was the one player we could have built the next dynasty around.........

There are strong rumours linking a trio of Leeds players to Fev on either loan or DR...the isue with Bodene from a Fev POV is that he's a back row and at Fev we already have Ferres, Hellewell, Davies and strongly linked with Jess Sene-Lefao.

Going to be interesting to see what comes of the Leeds-Fev link as the problem is Fev's main current area of shortage is the same as Leeds' ie middles/props, I thought Muizz/O'Connor along with a centre (perhaps Edwards) might be the most likely trio looking at Fev's areas of need but we'll have to see.

Bodene could be an option as a prop. Tbh, if a stint in the lower leagues beckons I could see him as a better fit there than in the SR

Certainly plays prop for us. My gut feel is that he is going nowhere and any talk of us being in for Napa or the like is agent generated fluff. We've even bumped him further up the squad numbers.

Is Sam Burgess fit enough to play again?
Or does he have a too cushy a life in Oz these days?

Fit enough for mascot......

And he would still win MoS

Is that Mascot of Steel?

Unfortunately it looks like there will be no more signings this off season.

Club is busy extending younger players deals at the moment and that is where Gale's money is going.

Better hope Sezer and Austin can stay healthy.

Disappointed.

Were you disappointed before Gale left? Personally I'd much rather extend Newman/Holdroyd/Ganon over having an injury prone LG for another year.

Yes, we're a bit light in the FR, but this feels like the best squad we've had for ages, and I can't wait for the start of the season!
