I could have swore that Ben Flower had signed for Huddersfield. Either that or he must have been heavily linked with them.

I'd much rather sign Dudson and Flower than Lauaki.

Fantastic name for someone playing Rugby League.

Good. He's aggressive and reads the game well. He will face stiff competition from Carberry though.

Not seen much of Carberry, but Tomkins for me is not the future.

Both Cas hookers are excellent.

My only worry about LT is his pace. Carberry could be the real deal.

Thank god for that. Thought I was the only one but kept quiet for fear of an internet lynching.

I was like that too! Granted, I've only seen him play a few times for Widnes while he's been on dual reg but he hasn't really stood out at that level like you'd expect a genuine prospect to stand out

I too would take Dudson and Flower over Luauki every day of the week.

Are we expecting any big name signings this year of any quality? or is it just a case of nobody being available/money restraints?

Gareth Thomas, Gill Dudson and Ben Flower so far?

I like the look of Ben Flower could be a decent prop.

Gil Dudson has def signed for you guys. He told me so
Himself after our game v Hull Fc 2 weeks ago.

We need a halfback to replace deacon

Sam to stay at 1
Tommy to stay at 9
We need someone to partner Finch.

Happy with that, I also heard Ben flower has turned down a move for the NRL to sign for us.

Straight replacements for Coley/O'Carroll (if he does go to Hull as rumoured)

Would make our props for next year;

Fielden
Mossop
Lima
Prescott
Flower
Dudson
Crosby

Still plenty more to do when it comes to recruitment though, when you look at our squad in this way its obvious in which areas we are weak in- Carmont is the only one who im happy with there.

Halfbacks- when you consider Leuluai will be playing hooker, Mellor yet to make his debut, fooked if Deacs retires.

Props (see above)

SR:

Hansen, Faz, Tuson, Hughes, JT, Hock, Lauaki(?)

LF:

Lockers, Faz, Tuson

Hooker:

Leuluai, McIlorum, Logan - Not AS weak as other positions but could do better...

I do expect at least one big signing and will be disappointed if there are none.

Agree and we should be looking at Chase IMO.
