| On the centre position I think that we are already covered. Lammy has made it quite clear that he sees Hanley as one of our current first team centres - not a winger. He is repeatedly saying how well both he and McIntosh play well together on our right edge.
We have reportedly signed for next season Tesi Nui who is a centre who plays wing.
Bailey Hodgson, who we not yet seen play, covers full back and wing and whom the club made a great deal of play of in the announcement of his signing that he also plays centre.
Add to the above Keanan Brand who never puts a foot wrong - apart from his comical howler at Barrow 2 seasons ago. Lammy always makes a point of singing his praises and clearly rates him.
I make that 4 centres for next season
To use 2 quota spots on centres sounds a bit wasteful and I don't think is going to happen. There could of course be an announcement of another British qualified centre signing but it seems likely that the remaining available overseas quota spots are going elsewhere in the team. The consensus appears to be both a number 13 and a second rower, one of whom I am really hoping for will be Issac Liu. The Iceman cometh - I hope.

| I hope there is something in the Pryce rumour, but all I've seen is the so called ITK twitter account, that isn't very in the know.
Ethan O'Neill signed. Another second rower which I think we needed, and not on quota, but no idea if he's any good or not.

| Regardless of what the Pie Fans might say, I believe the NRL is stronger than Super League. Super League is stronger than QLD and NSW cups and they in turn are stronger than the Championship. There is obviously a lot of overlap in these statements and plenty of players have bridged the gap when moving up, and everyone remembers the NRL players who flop in Super League.
Without knowing anything about Ethan O'Neill (still not achieved enough to warrant a Wiki page) he does appear to run the edge in the style of Kai O'Donnell. I guess we might not have been so keen if he appeared on the overseas quota. Honestly, I believe he will probably be close to a starting spot and Lammy can use Ben Condon as a Prop instead of second rower.
Moylan's salary can be re-distributed to bring in a half of some quality, and if worthwhile you can see Deggsy dipping into his pockets for a marquee signing.
Hats off to Chezzy for spotting an opportunity of breaking the overseas quota, especially when it will take several years for the academy to bear any fruit.
