Maybe this rumoured investor wasn't available at the time of the Doyle discussions.

Still holding out hope we might sign Jy Hitchcox

Me too, we need some more strike power in the backs.

Heard Donaldson and Prior both mentioned for permanent deals. Likely to get 3 youngsters on loan and then plus DR.

Walker, Thompson, Lilley, Hallas, Baldwinson, R Evans, Hallas.

Possibly Edwards, Roberts, Johnson, Donaldson, Prior.

Apparently Curtis Davies replacing Tom Doyle

I would rather move Lilley to hooker and have Patton and Holmes in the halves or one of the loanees we had late in the season. One of them played at 9, i think he was from Hull F C.

If Patton moves on at least we have a hooker now. We need a backup if Hallas is gone too though.

Curtis Davies fits with the fact that we are signing a player from the PNG vs Wales game on Monday. I was hoping it would be Rodrick Tai (PNG Centre), McKenzie Yei/Sylvester Namo (PNG Prop) or even Keven Appo (PNG Loose).

Obviously would prefer Ipape, McDonald, Olam, Johnston or Lam like haha!

Things From Gledhill's Podcast/Live Video.

3 more coming from Leeds? Likely to be loans but maybe one permanent? Hopefully Donaldson on a permanent. And I'd like to see Holroyd and Tindall on season long loans as both aren't near Leeds 17 yet.

Assistant coach is done. Played for England a few times.

When asked about a silent backer, due to fund being available for the Walker/Thompson signings, Koucash was mentioned. But Gledhill said there's no smoke without fire.

I'd love to see us sign a few props like. Need some mobility and size there.

Pre Season games will be Halifax at home on Boxing Day. And Leeds at home, probably some time in Jan as part of the deals.

Now confirmed in the press

Elliot Kear going to Batley according to the T & A. They might teach him to pass the ball there !
Edit: now confirmed by Batley FB
