Quote BigTime="BigTime"We seem accidentally to have failed to recruit sufficient numbers for start of season. What we have looks OK but not enough depth. So inevitably late additions will come in. Poor planning, exacting standards or lack of interest in London from the RL community -who knows. However as we must be in the market for players, who of those we have mislaid in recent years would we take back and might realistically be interested.
I can see Jacob Jones not getting much of a look in at Leigh and he would be a good re-acquisition. However I think he comes from the Midlands so signing for a northern team rather than us may not give him a nose bleed. What about Boafo? Out for a long time but when he came back had both elusive, explosive pace and seemed robust in the tackle. I’d assume Newcastle was less of a draw now they are PT so he may be amenable.
Finally there is Rob Butler he was excellent for us but post Broncos things, from the outside, don’t appear to have gone so well. Would he be interested?'"
Saw Jacob Ogden was released by York at the backend of last season. Probably more pressing areas of the squad to address than outside back but wouldn't have minded if we had been able to tempt him back. Was disappointed when he left as he seemed a decent prospect. I think he's a teacher at a school in Wakefield currently, so another one probably unwilling to head back down. Butler would be a good shout if we could work it, we are looking very light up front
