Please just play Jordan interchange hooker with Souter

I'm guessing that Myers/Armitage can slide to wing if needed, especially if the club sign Waqa Blake as is being touted.

Blake played a fair bit of wing too. If he signs I'd say we have a complete squad for now.

Myers will be missing for the first 4 games due to his ban so could do with a bit of cover there for the early part of the season although friendly games will count towards it.

Happy to be proven wrong but ive heard negotiations with blake have broken down

May have dodged one there if true.As olpherts signed for anyone yet he scored a lot of tries for wakey last season.

Liam Tindall released by Hull, if I recall he scored a fair few tries whilst on loan with us. Worth a look?

Jack Walker released as well. Wonder if we are interested in bringing either of them back to Odsal.

I guess it depends on what Nobby wants and how much it'll cost. Either way it's quite a squad we've put together. Hopefully they'll look as good on the pitch as they do on paper.

Can't see Walker wanting to come back to Championship and fighting for a spot against Holmes. Tindal I thought did a great job for us on loan and would add further depth to the backline but would think his next move would be somewhere where he can guarantee game time.

Walkers decisions to leave us had got to be one of the worst advised decisions for his career. The whole reason he came down to us was because he'd been crippled by injuries throughout his career. 5 minutes into his debut he was out for 12 weeks. He had just started to get some consistency for us when KR wanted a back up FB and he went back to SL and played a handful of games instead of paying 80 minutes every week for us. Then he signs for FC and has played sporadically. If he had just seen out his season with us I think he would have got his confidence back in his body and be in a much stronger place to demand a starting place in an SL side. I know a FT SL contract should always trump a champ contract. But sometimes look at where you are in your career and maybe playing a couple of months in a lower level will greatly improve your career prospects rather than sitting on a bench in SL. Okoro was another. Never played SL. Hadn't even played much championship. Had managee to fight his way into our top props after a good PRE-SEASON, but hardlt actually achieved anything or sustained that in a proper season and ends up going to Warrington where he's then been passed from club to club.

But I'd take Walker as he's an outstanding talent, but I'd insist on there been no SL clause.

I agree but I worry about the effects of playing on the Odsal pitch on a player so injury prone. We can all see how claggy it gets in the wet and in the summer it may have a nice covering of grass but the ground is absolutely rock hard sometimes.

Ok, where's the cash coming from? I'm having 'Cut your cloth!' flashbacks..
