| When I first saw him away at Hull I thought jesus this guy is way out of shape but as time went on I liked him he has a excellent ball carry with great body position when hitting the tackle. I think he has very good potential and with a good diet and training think this lad could be great.

| There has been quite a bit of negativity regarding the signings we have made, especially the lack of big name signings.
One plus point for the likes of Arundel, Walker, Annakin, Miller and Shulver is the fact that they are young, all around 23-24, with potentially long futures in the game.
I am a big believer in continuity breeds success (Steve Waugh) former test cricketer is a prime example. Was playing text cricket 3-4 years before his first test hundred, and became one of the best players of his generation.
Also, we seem to be handing out more 2 year deals, rather than 1 year. To me, that is an indication from the clubs management, that they seem to have a bit more long term ambition.
With a strong off season, under Smith, these players could go one to have good seasons, and with a better work ethic, and better results, 2 years down the line, these players may have earned a good reputation at the club and may want to renew contracts, and so on. You could even add Crowther, Johnston and Jowitt to this list also.
I think the current squad, along with 2-3 bigger names, we could have a really competitive squad building for 2016.
One thing that the RFL do, is reward loyalty within clubs and players, (ie players with the same club so long), top earners who are from the same clubs academy etc. The RFL reward this back to clubs who achieve this, on their salary cap return.
Therefore in the long run, we could receive these rewards, and also attract the higher earners.
