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.

Pretty much a done deal at KR. That's why they are releasing Opacic.

They seem to have a knack for getting out of contracts with overseas players, they managed to get rid of Rhys Kennedy last year, despite him having a contract for this season, so they could sign Tanginoa.

I’d be keeping an eye on the Wigan situation they are reportedly having cap issues for next year with all the youngsters upgrading.
I’d definitely be looking at one of their young British props like Liam Byrne however Salford always seem to pick their players up, apparently Zak Eckersley may need to make way and he’s a class out and out young British centre. Id also enquire about Taiki Chan as a wide running back row, he seems to have fallen out of favour and is young, none quota and a big strong runner being used as a prop. I really hope we stock up on props we always seem to be too lean on that area and they win you games.

We seem to have decided on Niu as the Leutele replacement. If Eckersley was going to be available, I'd much rather have him and use a quota spot on another prop. Be surprised if he wasn't at Wigan next year though.

From what I've seen of Taiki Chan I've not been overly excited.

Liam Byrne always struck me as someone who ran out of gas far too quickly, but then again I formed that opinion while watching him and Mulhern playing for Ireland and I thought the same about Robbie, so who knows what wonders our team can work.

Does anyone have any up to date info on the IMG grading, some slight rule changes today, or atleast announced today, likely the club has known for some time.
Like what position are we likely to be in, Derek seems 100% confident some 11 months ago but been quiet on journalists and anyone of note since on any updates

Assume he means for the club that dosent get in, or if we are the club that dosent get in

He made it clear we will improve on finances, our attendance this season won’t take us over the average threshold for a the next points, perhaps media engagements? Dunno how league position will help if that’s a rolling average or not, I don’t really know enough about it to know where we can and will improve
Sure we are pushing to do all we can

But for me we surly are the model club or idea of what is ideal, pre match entertainment done right, squad building, progressive team, fan base rising year on year and great attendances, then better finances with Derek but also becoming more self sufficient, add real competition to the league and just in general, seem to be going places with a coach like Lammy committing to 3 years, an academy licence being granted

Only one mention in the trade press, but no reason to believe that it is not true.

A young, nubile semi professional in a team of part timers against a highly decorated long serving pro, in a full time team. Not the fairest of comparisons
