I get the feeling Gaskell will start in the halfs next year with Lino. With smith waiting if nothing clicks. I would take ratchford if Warrington pay a good chunk of his wages as he can cover/compete for the fullback / centre spots in the squad. We have 2 quota spots left and I would want them to go to props before any other position

Don't be so hasty mate

, I don't think he's saying that. I think he's simply saying with our budget situation, the money would be better spent elsewhere considering we have Lino, Smith and Gaskell to rotate/fill in elsewhere.

I absolutely think it will be Lino and Smith.
He's not a novice. Smith has a good grounding through Warrington and showed he can play.
He starts for me.

Ava Seumanufagai and Renouf Atoni would be good if Mago unavailable….

For me, Gaskell didn't really offer much in the halves or at full back.

If the price is right, I would definately go in for Rachford.

If warrington want to pay a chunk of Ratchford's wages (i'd imagine hes on a decent wack), then be stupid not to take him on.

We seem to do well when it comes to those sort of deals and have had some dealings with wire recently, lets see.

If we have cash left I’d prefer us to go for a specialist half or centre.

I don’t think we need another utility.

I think we may dip into the loan market in that regard once the season gets underway.

Sam Halsall is a player that springs to mind. He won’t get many starts this year at Giants even if injuries kick in and he is too good to be playing reserves.

We seem to have a good rapport with Hudds too.

You got a soft spot for Ava Seumanufagai? Not stopped banging on about him last few week lol

He's his agent.

If Ratchford came to us he'd be the starting stand off.

Wishful thinking though, he's well out of our price range.

You know this how exactly?
