I absolutely hate this, not Liam Knight as i'd be happy with him here, what i hate is that Burgess wasn't interested in the first place.He's knows him, has played with him, would have known he was available but wasn't interested, now he's playing really well Burgess is suddenly interested in poaching him. My confidence in Burgess has disintegrated very quickly, and he seems deluded and panicky with things he's doing.
If we sign Him we should get rid of Musgrove and keep Vaughan.
Byrne, Knight, Vaughan, Harrison, Yates, Philbin & Wood looks pretty solid, Crowther as back up possibly as well.
Dan Russell i had a good feeling about, then saw him play and oh dear, not his fault but he's more championship level.
We need 2 new good props minimum, and Either Play leyland or let him go. And just move on from Russell, and hopefully Lindop and Wrench both stay fit and keep developing.
I like king, nothing fancy but is a workhorse centre and makes more yards and gets us on the front foot more than our props at times. And only costing 50k on the cap is a BIG plus, but the fact we haven't re-signed him already suggests he's on his way out.

I think Sam/Chairman/Whoever has moved onto Liam Knight having missed out on 1st and 2nd choice targets Lees and Amone.

The pack you cite is not strong enough in my opinion. Philbin is included in the 17 almost without hesitation when in truth he's too small to make an impact. Would you want to sign him if you saw him playing for another club?  Yates is solid enough, steady eddy. Think Vaughan wants a 2 year contract?


We need an impact prop and have done since Sam Kasiano was mysteriously "released from his contract" in the pre-season of 2024. 

This is where I think we can improve (in bold)



Wolves: Matty Dufty, 
Josh Thewlis * (giving him benefit of the doubt)
Toby King
Rodrick Tai, 
Matty Ashton, 
George Williams, 
Marc Sneyd, 
Zane Musgrove, (although he is improving)
Danny Walker, 
Paul Vaughan, 
Lachlan Fitzgibbon, 
Ben Currie
James Harrison


Joe Philbin, 
Jordan Crowther, 
Luke Yates, 
Sam Powell
