Very possibly. If they are really after Jai Field, then there would have to be another Brit if they wanted to spend Marquee money. I can’t see a Brit worth it in a position we need.

Lots of smoke and mirrors going on I think...

Certainly none that their clubs would be willing to sell. Walmsley would be my pick and hes a yorkshireman but cant see saints selling at any price.

He’s also a Leeds fan I believe...

Aren't there any quality outside backs in the Championship we could look at? Like people have said, you'd want an overseas signing to be one of the first names on the teamsheet. If he's squad cover is there anyone in the lower leagues to do that whilst playing in the reserves/dual reg?

That's why I think we will wait until next season to use marquee money on a quota player.I doubt very much we will bring in two players for this season.

Agar has been in print saying we want to bring two players. Still what we want and what we get are two different things sometimes...

He has yes so to bring in two you would think one has to be from SL. I haven't read or even heard a rumour of anyone in SL as anyone else?

We can only dream. I'd be tempted to seriously test their resolve with a big bid. He may be tempted to come home..

If we were going to go for him I think this would have been done earlier in the off season.

We could only move on Marquee wages once Merrin had left. For all we know we could be waiting for Saints to find a replacement? They haven’t signed anyone for next year have they?

a story as big as this would have hit the news or at least the least the RL forum's.

Yes most definitely. Its strangely quiet we must surely be looking over here too

I have faith me.

Who knew we were signing Rhys Martin? Absolutely no one. So the club certainly know how to keep a signing quiet.

We need a very quick pair of wingers
All the previouse cup winning squads have had lightning fast wingers who when made breaks never got caught.
Tom Johnson ? If fit .
Suggestions,

Think this is why were linked with Jai Field. He is rapid.

is he a winger?
I know nothing about him

Saw BMM at Headingley with his family on Boxing Day. Just saying.

He is good friends with Hurrell, nothing in that at all!

Says he's a fullback or stand off. Certainly has speed to burn

How have all the previous cup winning squads had lighting fast wingers in this decade 2010-2019 we've won 4 grand finals, 2 Challenge cups 1 league leaders shield and a world club Challenge and our wingers have been Ryan Hall, Ben- Jones Bishop and Tom Briscoe, and all of them have been international standard wingers at some point in there career this decade but none of then have been blessed with real rapid pace BJB was probably the quickest out of all 3 and he's never been rapid, I do think we need a bit of pace in our current backline but think a lot of people underestimate Handley's speed and Newman and Walker probably couldn't go 100m without being caught but they aren't no slouches either, I think we need a utility back who can cover wing and fullback with pace, but don't think any team needs bags and bags of pace to Win titles and championships.

Be some wrecking crew, them two in harness

This is likely why the field rumours are about as he eyes s very quick and can cover a few positions.

For me, if we do sign field he must start on the wing as I don't understand why you would use an overseas spot on a bench or squad player.

This would make sense though. T Briscoe is out for a while yet and we don't know how he will recover. L Briscoe is game but not good enough as a starting winger for me. After that we are into academy lads.

Or a British player not currently in Super League, like Sam Burgess

4 grand finals

BJB wasn't/isn't rapid? He's one of the quickest players of the SL era.
