Agreed, he's shown some promise but a lack of game time has probably cost him a bit of development. He may have played twenty-odd games but there has been very limited minutes in many of those and he hasn't had chance to properly establish himself. He's well down the list now so a move is best for him. I hope he can kick on.

I'm sure DP can spot talent and decided he'd rather have Doyle I guess.

As I posted a few weeks ago, I got told from a reliable source that Bowes was asking for £50k for next season so maybe he priced himself out of a contract at BV ??

Law recently signed a new deal roberts is no longer at the club windrow not got a clue smith was at academy and reserves meeting on monday.2 lads have signed from academy 1 decent 1 well no comment

That and they likely think Smith is the better prospect.

And I wouldn't disagree, as much as I liked Bowes, Harvey Smith is likely to be a special player, as long as he is looked after.

Windrow more likely. Promising youngster absolutely but Tanginoa is a seasoned NRL and SL forward who still needs replacing imo.

Boothroyd who I hope will be a a shining star has 0 first grade games NRL or SL. If the coaches think he’s ready though then I look forward to seeing him.

Griffin, Ashurst, Boothroyd is a fair bit light for second row (Pitts seems to be odds on for LF with Cozza).

Need a big SR signing for sure. If we are going to use Pitts there then we need a big LF signing.

Interestingly Ellis and Powell just said there’s 24 in the stadium next season.

We know of 20 so who are the other 4?

He did say there’s some youth there so it could be a couple of young players.

I would imagine Harvey Smith could be one.

I hope there's significantly more than 24 in the stadium next season!!!

Yeah, I imagine it's the best academy lads that have been signed up. Also good to hear he wants a squad of around 34 players, so our scout will be doing some serious miles going down under and around the North of England.

2 Academy been signed up to my knowladge not including smith if hes signed.deffo wouldnt say the best though 1 is good 1 not so good
