John Bastian and his team have been really impressed by James Bentley of late. He's really come on. Same as Ross Oakes. These lads are hoping to put in a huge pre season and get in the 17 next season.

I've heard Blythe has got a deal at Warrington. Surprising. Good luck to him. For all his many brain farts he never hides away and shows more enthusiasm than many of the rest of the side put together.

Well there really is absolutely no reason not to play some of them in games like the one coming up on Sunday. I'm hoping we see both Bentley and Oakes, there's no reason playing Blythe and Purtell is injured so get Oakes in at centre.

Does anybody reckon that Cameron Scott will be promoted to the first team squad next season?

I doubt it. He's not played any U19s yet.

Still too small physically for open age.

well Blythes now gone. Can't understand Warrington signing him.

Ross thinks there's more business still to come between the 2 clubs. With most of our big name players already signed for other clubs, I expect it be players coming to us.

Obviously Ben Evans has been rumoured and so has Joe Philbin.I think we've done the better bit of business.

Richie Mathers !!!!!!

Is this some sort of RL related tourette's?

Won't complain if we get Philbin and Evans in return for Blythe

Heck, I'd settle for Philbin OR Evans in return for Blythe

Evans is a good forward

I like how our squad is shaping up for next season with the juniors and rumoured signings. Philips and Evans would be great captures.

Well, going by the T&A today rlLinkrl we certainly need to add to it in terms of forwards. At least 2 new props (preferably 3) a loose forward and a quality centre are needed.

That is an interesting article and lays bare the squad. With a touch of honesty from Rohan Smith too; some were decided before he arrived, some were simply to save money.

Without wanting to circle Sheffield like vultures, there are a number of players we could offer a reasonable - cut our cloth accordingly - lifeline to.

I'd especially think Matt James could come and do a job in the forwards once again, a former home grown player and Champ established forward.

And of course I think we'd all like to see roger get his wish if things don't turn around in the short term.

Definitely need some props, hopefully Magrin and Evans both sign up which would give us Sidlow, Kavanagh, Evans, Magrin and Kirk. Still at least one more needed after that imo.

As for our centres, I want Welham and Clare to get the 3 and 4 shirts. Oakes for backup, Mellor can also fill in if needed.

Loose forward is a tricky one. Do you go for pure bulk and ignore the handling skills? Or maybe you just get a tackling machine like Donaldson was? No names are immediately springing to mind - hopefully Rohan can use his contacts in Aus to bring over one or two more gems like Moss.

Foster could be the 13. Think he's a tackling machine. Think remember a game in SL he made 40 tackles and missed none. Would like to see Philbin back. Think he'd go well as a bigger 13.

They'll be a couple of signings no one saw coming like Moss.

See how Macani goes today against Leeds
