And yet theres a thread on the Hull board questioning whether he should be in their first choice halfbacks with Kelly, or if it should be Connor. Interestingly he has almost the identical complaints as we have on here about Smith (not taking on the defence, holding players up etc).

If we can get Bentley and Wardle that would be enough in the back row to go with what we already have. We have been lucky at prop with Thompson stepping up, but I agree another prop should be necessary. Bousquet at Catalans is the only name in the ooc list that jumps out though.

He has come on alot has Bousquet this season at Cat, not a bad shout for prop

Leeds fans seem certain Bentleys signed for them. League express reckon it's Saints who are signing him.

Mick (I can't spake) Morgan was dropping very heavy hints after Cas's last home game that Wardle was a done deal for us.
Whilst I do rate him very highly we seem very well off for both centres and back rowers so if we have got him we would realistically have to let a contracted player go.
