True but at least he's the right side of 30. I'd be very underwhelmed if we signed Prior - he'll be 33 early next year and isn't exactly a superstar.

Prior wants marquee money so only chance of him arriving is if Merrin leaves.The young outside from NRL sounds more optimistic,can cover 2/3 positions

These recruitment speculations and press releases will pick up speed as the season ticket deadline gets closer

True.

Also around new shirt release dates etc, media by numbers.

If we cant get the correct players in this year, I hope to god we are doing the shopping for 2021 now, getting them lined up.

More than likely we'll run with the "weve purposely left space under the cap for a potential mid season signing"

There isn’t a season ticket deadline date is there?

Renewal date is early November so yes.

9th November I think

Saw a nervous looking Singleton meeting Brian Mc at a coffee shop in Leeds last week. Looked like a job interview to me. Singleton to Toronto then?

Lol too late ...just seen the singleton to Toronto thing has hit the news as a potential. It's got legs though as that was def a 'business' meeting!

Hopefully Singleton is moved on, not good enough imo

Disagree, but hes definitely fallen down the pecking order.

He was always billed as a cornerstone of our pack and groomed to be a big pack leader for years to come, he looks like he's struggling with the pressure that the entire team has been under for a while now?

Maybe needs a new challenge to rev him up again or there's been something away from the pitch thats taken his focus more I really dont know, but hes not been the same for a while now.

Singleton has the ability and the right attitude, he just has been unable to develop the necessary physicality to take him to the next level

Bailey-esque. Shows glimpses of what he might have been between spells of anonymity with the occasional, niggly, needless penalty thrown in.

Singleton just hasnt kicked on fron his early career promise & he's nowhere near consistent enough we wouldnt miss him or Petaru id happily move both on.

Singleton would be okay if we had three good props but we only have one.So if he leaves we need to bring someone else in of quality but if Merrin stays i'm not sure where we can find a SL based prop?
