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

Harsh to judge someone on their performance against Blake Ferguson as a 19 year old. But we could do with a winger that can get us on the front foot early in sets. Not sure McIntosh gives us that, and given our kicking game is likely to be lacking again next year, and we're losing key forwards, it will be needed even more.

Based on reports, rumours etc, could be looking at this:
Backs - Armstrong, Charnley, Niu, Hanley, McIntosh, Hodgson, Brand, Towse
Half backs - Lam, Moylan, O'Brien, McNamara
Props / loose forwards - Pene, Mulhern, Trout, Hughes (since move this year), Norman, Brogan, Davis, Liu
Second row - Halton, Condon (all i've seen on that is a post on this forum though), Brad Martin
Hooker - Ipape, Dwyer (plus Davis and McNamara)
That would give us 25. Chester is quoted as saying that there's 33 signed up for next season. Don't know if the other 8 would be new signings, promotions from reserves or a mix of the two. But I'd say we need a prop to be ahead of Norman and Brogan in the pecking order, and another second row.
Group of backs is starting to look a lot younger. That could be a good or a bad thing.

We were also inked with 2 NRL wingers, Sivo and one other that I can’t remember, so we may have picked up one of those

Tesi Nui was the other and it appears we've gone for him rather than Sivo according to press reports.
Going off press reports, the confirmed outgoing list and the odd hunch(I reckon Luis Roberts will be back next year to replace Nisbet), this is where i think we're at with 4 still unconfirmed from the 33 Chester mentioned in my list:
1 David Armstrong*
2 Umyla Hanley
3 Darnell McIntosh
4 Tesi Nui*
5 Josh Charnley
6 Matt Moylan*
7 Lachlan Lam
8 Aaron Pene*
9 Edwin Ipape*
10 Rob Mulhern
11 QUOTA TBC*
12 Frankie Halton
13 Isaac Liu*
14 Brad Dwyer
15 Owen Trout
16 Matt Davis
17 Jack Hughes
18 Gaz O'Brien
19 Ben McNamara
20 Keanan Brand
21 Brad Martin
22 Louis Brogan
23 Luis Roberts
24 Dan Norman
25 Nathan Wilde
26 Bailey Hodgson
27 AJ Towse
28 Jack Derbyshire
29 Kavan Rothwell
30 Andy Badrock
31 TBC
32 TBC
33 TBC
I think of the 3 non-quota TBC we need at least 2 forwards and at least one of them should be an experienced, front line one to be pushing into the 17 | | |

Can anyone on here please find me any article or report linking us with AJ Towse - I would be extremely grateful.
I'm interested to see who exactly has said that he is signing for us. Ta.
