Dont see why you would want to push overseas to the limits really, if by some miracle you get to sl you then have to rip more players out of your side to abide by the quota even more if you want to strengthen them

Agreed! I think Championship clubs get away with it because the majority don't have academies.

I'm hoping from O'Carroll's most recent interview we can keep Pele.

Agreed re; Pele, creates major problems for Championship level sides.

I would assume Fulton will leave on the basis Gee, Donaldson and Waine have signed (granted I suspect Waine will play at Prop). Add in Appo, Peposhi.and with Jacob Bateman pushing for a spot you would hope that position is covered.

It's not often that a SL club is willing to use up a precious non-fed spot on a championship player, but I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Would depend how much of a physical side you want

LBB
Pele
Lawrence
Scurr
Smith
Michael
Mason

I really dont think Waine will go in that front row

Waine had a good game against Leeds. Scored a try and played a big part in another one. I am looking forward to seeing him play for us next season that is for sure.

Lawrence won't be there next year, I'm pretty confident of that. Also, I have a feeling that Smith will hang his boots up too.

For me it's an important re-signing even if he doesn't play every game. We've seen how we are when we've no expereince the field.

Lawrence re-signing is great news!

Lawrence is what we need in the squad. You notice his qualities that the team lack when he isn't playing. Very good leader and solid player.

Well it shows how much I know! Good resigning if he can get on the field.

Franklin Pele has extended his stay. It’s just been announced at the Player of the Year awards.

Confirmed squad for 2025:

Scurr
Smith
Ott

Jowitt
