We have about 12 players that have been confirmed as signed. Chris Chester said we are running with a squad of 23 or 24 - so 11 or 12 players to announce in the next couple of weeks before training starts!!!

And a head coach

With the rumours this is looking ok for championship. Not sure why announcements have stopped! Think the way Feath and York are looking we will need to be very strong next year always difficult after dropping down with a new team!

A couple more to be retained i feel, and at least 3 from SL. I feel it is really important to sign players from a FT environment because the gap in fitness no matter how talented a side can be is huge.

Ioane was the one to keep, and I am glad we did. Not worried about the rest of the Championship to be honest as we have a good mixture of experience and youth with kids with a point to prove and a future to build.

Our pack will be strong. At this moment in time, Fevs pack is pants but their backline will take some beating.

Think our pack is looking ok but probably need a ball handler like Bell in there. Backs are a bit light on experience. Young guns tend to come through as the season goes but as we know in champ you can’t afford to drop points early on. Would be good if we could keep Russel, Tierney and get Brand for season. Be nice to keep Elliot also would be strong in championship.

Tierney and Elliot NO . Russell hope we can but thought he was Salford bound. Brand - can't see a spot with the kids who have come in - experienced backs now needed imo

I would have Russell Brand & Foster we have enough experience need some legs

we could do with a little bit of magic from somewhere to win them big games

Scraping the barrel a bit with Russell Brand!

Brand seemed to be developing well @FB, better option than the expensive sicknote we appear to have lined up

Wouldn't have brand back. Was poor to be honest. Defensively weak. No threat chiming into line as was a runner, not a passer, and zero command of organising defense. Russell going to salford. Tierney shocking. Elliot no better. Quinlan may have the odd injury, but does everything well. Far better than other options

Right at the bottom

Lets hope Ed Chamberlain brings Ms Cumani with him

Quite harsh Col. Let Chester pick em.

I think we need a little more experience in the squad of top championship, or SL quality - a centre, another decent half and hooker. We seem to have signed a lot of young wingers recently.
