I would like to see a ball handling loose forward as our final signing, we are really lacking a ball handler in the forwards, and indeed across the pitch we don't have many who have these skills. With Macintosh very much learning his trade, so no real ball handling fullback we are going to be over reliant on Frawley for everything.

Totally agree with this.Losing Hinchcliffe leaves us very light in this position. This as you say would also take some of the pressure of Frawley who make take time to settle anyway.

Chris Clarkson would be an awful signing. Rankin, Walne and Ikahihifo going should allow for 2 decent signings. But I think we will keep Seb.

Regarding Clough.....yes good player very solid but If English us going to be the player we think he can be he should be overtaking Clough sooner rather than later.

No he wouldn’t, Chris Clarkson is a decent SL player, type of squad player that every team needs and will give 100% when called upon.

We already have some of those in Clough, Roche, Smith. We need quality.

Not to mention people like Dan Smith, I'm sure he's solid but we have plenty of those, don't see the point in that signing personally, hopefully just a rumour.

they were trying to mould dan smith into a loose forward but it just seems to never get going!

sounds like ikahihifo is staying which is a boost for the pack

Tom and George Burgess are both OOC at present. Could we persuade one of them if Seb did go??

they wont be coming back to sl for a good few years yet

With our 2 oldest players gone in the off season, our oldest players are now Paul Clough, Ukuma Taai and Akuila Uate at 31 years old.

jordan turner playing at loose forward could be a great move

he can kick goals too

I wonder if anyone at the club is wondering whether they should have offered Connor a few pence more. What a mistake, we're potentially weak in one of hb centre or FB, problem would have been solved

He was already offered more than anyone his age has ever been, he turned it down, the club tried desperately to keep him.

That doesnt mean anything, it's about ability not age
