Cool, if he adds to us missing relegation then happy days. I hope he goes well for us and can hit the ground running. Also means he will know the club and unless homesick will be used to England and settled for next year so there'll be no settling in period for 2023

Well, let’s just hope he’s our right side halfback at not at 1. We’re low on confidence and shipping points already, and Dufty at fullback isn’t going to fix that in a hurry!

Kevin Naiqama had nothing good to say about SL as well and Laughed in an interview about him coming over here. Then when no NRL club were interested low and behold he was in super league And he did pretty well. I'm not worried by this at all

Another nail in the coffin for any aspiring youth player on our books, if Dufty comes here.

It’s a strange one. Thewlis is going to 1 next season and Powell has stated Ratchford will be at halfback. I can only imagine he’ll be fighting Ratchford for the right side.

Does anyone have a link to some 5 year old highlight reels on YouTube. I want to build myself up for some disappointment in the usual Wire fan way

Was keeping ratchford on for another 2 years a blow to our youth? If it's dufty or ratchford at 6 then I'll take dufty all day long. Hopefully ratchford is not going to be in the 17, but will just be cover if dufty or thewlis get injured.

If you're talking about Riley Dean here, have you seriously seen anything from him that makes you want him to be a regular starter in the side this or next season?

He definitely has potential, but he's a mile away from being a starter in a trophy challenging SL side - look at him in the Catalan game - was basically a passenger, while Williams did all the half back stuff.

For me, he needs a loan at a top2 Championship side, or a bottom 4 SL side (& yes, I know we are one right now, but I'd be hoping we aren't aspiring to be one long term ).

I'm hoping that the plan is to get the seasoned players in with the right attitude, who then act as role models to our youth development.

As has been said, I don't think our club problems are a quick fix, and I'd be disappointed if we were still bringing in overseas players in 2-3 years time in lieu of developing our own talent.

The online WG has an article about him signing & the site hasn't crashed.

I used to write stuff like "In Smith we trust..." with confidence.
Not sure what to write now..."In _______ we trust..."

He won't get another chance against Hull kr, he's out due to concussion protocols.

Yes, thanks for clarification.
