I'm 100% with you. None of the above would be much of a miss presently. Mamo, Hardaker and a Top prop and we do look like we have a excellent team. Problem is who would we get? We don't have enough quota spots for Mamo and another overseas do we?

Not sure of the quota rules to be honest. However there are ways around if we are full or we could also look in this country. Not sure who is available but hopefully the club have been working hard to recruit.

As far as I am aware, unless it's changed in the last couple of years, We are allowed 7 nonfederation trained players within that we are allowed 5 overseas players. Taai and ikahihifo do not class as overseas as they are from countries that have signed the Cotonou agreement and due to the Kolpak ruling are free to work within the EU as EU citizens (Brexit may change that) but they are classed as non-fed trained.
We have rapira, symonds and Hinchcliffe who are classed as overseas. So I make it we have space for two overseas players unless I've missed someone.

So there is room for Mamo and a prop. If we're looking closer to home Geeenwood from Hull Kr maybe a good shout.

I'd agree with that, he's also not a centre, might be able to cover it (although not sure he's actually done that in the last 3 or 4 years), but he's not a starting super league quality centre. He is very dangerous with ball in hand and room to move and can create for others and knows how to finish, he was a class above in the championship...when fit or not refusing to play (rumour)... His best position by a distance is 6, you'll regret it playing him at centre IMHO and you wont see the best of him at FB.
Any ideas why the giants have not yet announced the Bradford 3?

Cause they are crap signings that our current coach doesn't actually want?

Can't argue with any of that

All three from the Shuttleworth stable. Now that is a surprise. Thewlis connection, nothing to do with Anderson or Stone and Jools not happy !!!!!!

Brearley, Most of the Players are from the Shuttleworth Stable. Fact. Arrogant Thewlis must see him as a push over despite him being Keith Masons client. We know how that ended. Pants down and empty pockets to Keith.
