Didn't realise he was 30! 
Reading some St's fans comments seems like they feel its his time to move on and he's has his fair share of injuries. Thought he looked injured Saturday tbf, he was holding his shoulder for a while 

Agree with that, with Smoothy coming I just feel like we could do with one statement English based signing for next season. 
There are players who would certainly be of interest to us like Jordan Crowther, who I think has improved as a player. Loose is a position we need to strengthen next season. 
Though his career has stalled somewhat Eseh could be worth a look for 2026 to develop. He’s likely going to fill out a bit too over next few years. 

Matt Ellis spoke on West Yorkshire Sport regarding recruitment. It's not going to be as extensive as last year. More evolution rather than revolution. 

We do not need J C does a 15/20 mins job for Wires , and i think he as not improved that much just a work horse with is defence but does not offer any thing else and suits Wires game plan  .As far as lose forward is concerned Smoothy as played there,  so let's get over bringing back x players, never works out . They left a poor team ,we are in a stronger position so need players that can push us forwards to been in the top 6 consistently

Listening to Liam Hoods interview sounds like he is leaving at end of season.  Great player and sad to see him go but I think injuries are catching up with him.  He excepts team is evolving

Can’t agree with that fully. 
Johnstone, Hall, Pitts, Croft - all players that have returned and have a part to play in the continual development of the club. 
Past players are lake any other player and should be brought in if they fit what the club wants/needs and not just written because they played for us.
Crowther looks physically to have matured a little and I think could be an option to offer us something in the middle at 13. A position where if Pitts gets injured we will struggle. 
There are a lot of players out there. Just running a few through my head who could improve not just the starting13/17 but the wider squad and depth as a whole. 

T J was injured early in the season we got relegated and moved to Cataland and got through to Semi-finals and finals .Hall was forced out Croft had to be let go but the club because of some kind of rule .The players i  am on about are players who decided they were going way before the last season in S L was half way through . Player's like Hood ,Lino, Pitts and Max stood by us .And gave 100% in the Championship to get us back into the S L .We need players who can win a game for us next year if we are going to be a force in the top 6 next year This year we have a good squad that give 100% to the team and fans ,and no egos in site

James Bell another to hull fc. Two good pick ups for them for 2026. 

Another player I would have been happy to see at trinity. 

He's a quota spot though.
I like him but we are going for younger versions under Powell

I honestly didn’t realise he was quota spot tbh. Thanks for that. I get the feeling we will be giving a few players a fair chance to prove themselves at this level first.

Loose forward does seem to be a position we need to look at for next year given Pitts' age and as good as he is currently, the squad does need to keep evolving. 

Looking at the OOC SL players, nobody is really jumping out at me personally as someone who we should make a move for. I wonder if we will look at trying a current player instead? The two players id consider would be McMeeken and Rodwell.


If we can bring in another winger for the first team along with Smoothy and a LF, id be quite happy to leave it there in terms of incomings. But if im being greedy.....a top half to partner Trueman would be amazing, although Russell does need to be given a proper chance at half back first.
