I don’t think your logic regarding number of wingers stands up.
Numerically yes, but he may well be playing, and is likely to be playing, well above that standard.
According to press reports at the time, it appears that St Helens made an approach for him in late 2022 to replace Regan Grace but he apparently turned them down.
Clearly they must have considered him suitable for top end Super League around 18 months ago.
We don’t know why he is playing at the level he currently is, whether there are mental, physical, or any other reasons but like you, though unlikely for capability reasons, I don’t think we will see him here and whatever is in his past I wish him well for the future. End of

What about looking at Zac Fulton for bulls. Scored 9 in 9 and can play second row, 13 and centre by the looks but is mainly a second row. Think he only signed for a year at bulls.

Second row is a position we need to look at. That said I like the look of Boothroyd too even though he’s been unlucky with injuries.

I have say I have been impressed with the role of Ste Mills and at the recent forum event with Daryl Powell and Matt Ellis saying that the type of person/ character is important to fit in with the vision going forward I am not fussed we are not linked

Agree, if the club don’t think he’s worth it or the type of player they want to bring in then if this years signings is to go by then so be it.

I think Riley Dean could do more for us than Oliver Russell

Well with Lawford picking up an injury there’s an incentive for us to bring in another halfback.

Riley Dean
Ollie Russell
Ryan Hampshire (loan)?

Could be options.

Kay shouldn’t really be an option except forced by emergency.

Been thinking since I posted that and wouldn't Powell have been in charge at Warrington when they let Dean go out on loan to Fev then Cas last season, so maybe he doesn't rate him or maybe they just wanted him to get game time elsewhere ??

Would definitely take Dean, I think he’s quality and is the style of half we need to compliment Russell.

The thing for me with half back is, in the past we have gone for players with potential and some have worked out really well......

But now, if we want to kick on, we need a finished article. Like a young Gale, not someone who might do well but is unproven.
