| Quote Smiffy27="Smiffy27"You would wonder why Tai has had so any games if you looked at his attacking/skills & stats but to balance things up we ought to mention that he does flatten a few & at times it provides a great lift for the side. Not many run through Tai & most come of worse. Big Sam obviously puts defence high up on his priorities when picking a team.
We also seem very obsessed with using our backs to carry the ball up, presumably to rest our forwards for defensive work, and he's pretty good at this too when it is very very tough.
Lindop, obviously, will be a better all round centre in time.'"
We have no alternative. Ratchford, Wrench injured and Lindop is being eased in as he is developing.
You are right Tai offers a lot in defence and in exit carries but not a lot with the ball.

So in effect another £160k to be spent on the cap.
£40k for 4 international players (Williams, Nicholson, Harrison & Currie all played internationally this year).
£50k for Club trained dispensation - would imagine we qualify for this given the amount of youth players in the squad?
2x £35k players off cap - maybe Leyland is one?
Obviously Wigan, Saints & Leeds etc will have the same extra to play with - but at least we know we should have plenty of cap space left for a decent player to come in.

The fact that we have used all of our Quota Spots gives us a problem with signing another player that would improve our 17 man squad.
Most British/French players that are any good are already retained for the 2025 season.

True, but wouldn’t surprise me to see us paying a transfer fee for someone, we have a fee for Nicholson that needs using!

| Yeah we could either look at picking up 1 or 2 English players if any are available.
I still think Lewis Bienek would be a good pick up and wouldn't cost shed loads to bolster our forward options, IF we do move Bullock on that is. And we'd still have money to play with on top of any money we already have spare if any.

I thought Bienek was good when I’ve seen him play. He’s signed a new deal with London and is part time as he has a good IT job I think. Probably do well full time on a good set up but appears keen to stay there.

| Is there any provision for part time players in SL? I would think an IT job in or near London would pay an excellent wage.

| I wouldn’t be surprised if part time player and proper employment paid more than a full time SL contract for a fringe player.

| Bateman signing for 2025 isn’t dead in the water.
Wire haven’t been thrifty for nothing with the last 3/4 signings.

Tai offers very little in exit carries. Watch some matches back and you'll see he makes very few metres. Thewlis is a lot better because of his footwork. Tai tries (and almost always fails) to run over someone. He does provide the odd big bit but if you check his tackle stats he misses a fair few for a supposed 'defensive' centre.

Is this you speculating or have you had a snippet of information?
