Just don't see at all what Sibbitt adds. Have more than enough cover there. Doubt he's got legs anymore for centre. Still aren't strong enough at centre for me, but not many teams in super league are.

Everyone knows halves need sorting out. I guess it's simple a case of not enough good players available.

From Connor:



Exciting times! So I'm guessing that the other this week is Sibbit. We will have to be letting some players go surely with all these incomings.

probably helps in that respect that both menzies and nero were high earners. I'd guess they were both in 80k-100k bracket. only player we've signed who I'd guess is in the upper end of pay scale would be elima. walker,ainscough, ah van all have points to prove and hargreaves to a lesser extent. Only further players I can see going from current squad are sheriffe,reardon and maybe crossley and sculthorpe. the only one of those likely to on a reasonable wage would be scully. Obviously if orford goes then that opens up a big piece of salary cap but a decent replacement would likely take a big chunk of that anyway.

The squad is beginning to take shape now, a little surprised that we still have 3-4 players still to announce though. I expect people such as Orford and Beaver were our top earners though, so I expect that will free up a sizeable amount of cap.

We need some quality playmakers in those final few signings though.

Scullthorpe will not be playing any form of physical sport in the near future.

You say that although Orford is definitely off.

Do you know something we dont?

I think it was Bulls4champs who said he'd like us to sing him, but Stefan Ratchford has signed for the Giants.

Given the noise from down under it seems less and less likely we'll see Orford next year in a Bulls shirt. No smoke without fire. I'd rather be prepared for that scenario.

I'd also imagine given we weren't at full cap this season and are expected to be at full cap next year you'd guess at more incomings than outgoings.

Hopefully 2 of these new signings are halves.

I wonder if Connor is including current players re-signing in his statement. It doesn't say 'new signings' (unless you didn't post that bit).

bet you get caught out on april fools day too

Sibbit will add another body to the squad but he won't add any real quality. Like everyone else the are that concerns me is halfback, especially with Orford's increasingly likely departure.

I'm sure they're just saving the best 'til last. I'm sure it hasn't avoided Potter's attention how weak we are in that area.
