Only issue with looking in Aus is that it'd almost definitely mean losing another quota player to make way. No doubt Mills will be looking already - hope he's got Jackson Hastings' number.'"
Oh yes - I'd like a bit of Jackson Hastings down at Belle Vue. He is our type of player.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |
|
| Dean Hawkins NSW cup outstanding performer winner of 2023 and halfback is looking at SL for 2025.
He’s a halfback and has forced his way into a start in NRL this weekend. Though I’d be happy for us to develop Lawford so he’s ready for next season.

Lawford is a couple of seasons off imho. He’s looked possibly better than he is because we are a top team, and playing with Gale makes most players look good.
I think he has the talent but I can’t see the leadership just yer. I’m sure it will come with age and experience but I can’t see us running with him as first choice next season.
So the Aussie may be a good shout, even though I don’t suppose he’s much older than Lawford, but that’s typical of the NRL system.

| Hawkins is 5 years older than Lawford with a lot more experience.
I think Lawford will be a great player but needs a bit of time. This year is a good year to develop him

| Mills will definitely be identifying a 6 to replace Gale. Love us to go for someone like Hastings who is tried and tested over here though been dropped at the Knights.

I'd say the same about Harvey Smith as well. I'd keep using him as we are this season, but next year look to get him a game every week in the Championship and drip feed him the odd SL game. Then I'd be hoping he'd be the regular interchange hooker from 2026. All providing we go up of course, because if we don't we might struggle to keep hold.

Five years is a lot so ideal for Lawford to understudy.
I to rate Lawford, but he’s a studied HB imo not an instinct one if you know what I mean. They take more time usually to develop their leadership skills.

| A rehash of an interview Ellis had with radio Leeds a few weeks back. SARL style.

Top six 2005 - Trinity.: |
|
| In terms of recruitment for 2024. Second row will obviously be some area we will need to bring in some uk based players.
I was watching Oldham vs Rochdale this afternoon and the young second row George Hirst really stood out. At 22 he has a tall but solid frame, hits the line hard and has good leg drive too. Not short of a bit of pace either.
I wonder if Mills will be looking at players from L1 and Champ as well as SL who could improve us or have potential.
This lad showed some flashes that he could be a quality second row in a few years time.

Quota will be full, halves are scarce, especially federation trained ones. It will be an evaluation not revolution.
