Oliver Holmes was a name going round a couple of weeks back.

Always seemed to play well against us, but not really done anything at Warrington.

I used to rate the ginger haired kid at Warrington too, who kicked goals, but seems to have gone off the radar.

Didn't he go to Salford?

Taylor I expect will be taking on the 13 position.

For me we need 2 more props.

Lisone is an out and out prop not a “middle”, I think we need 1 other prop, and we can focus on other areas.

Smith looks to be coming in, I’d like to see a centre and another quality half and we are about done.

Not sure why we need another centre assuming we are keeping Croft.

I thought Croft came of age this season. So for me

Hall
Lyne
Croft

With Gaskell and Tafua as back up. I suppose a loan if needed in an emergency.

Agree about a HB.

Are you saying that we have signed Taylor?

Agree on the centre, genuinely think we have 4 SL quality centres in Lyne, Hall, Gaskell and Croft, I think we are better using budget elsewhere.

My thoughts too, also think we’ve got a good un in Tafua and while being a winger could cover centre tok

Gaskill and murphys partnership really blossomed towards the end of the year, Although not sure gaskil will start in the centre though with Murphy next season

Think our outside backs are a match for most of our sl oppositions and we’ve also got great cover too

I’d like to see us tie up shaul
Think he made a massive difference to our back line too

I hope we stick with Croft in the squad.
Don't want to see Jowitt ousted to accommodate Shaul either.

Has Shaw been confirmed as he’s OOC?

Exactly the same for me.

Jowitt will be about to hit his best years at 25 and these are the years he will be developing his ‘smarts’ and skills in managing the defensive line. Max will likely be a one club man and I see him as our full back for another 7 years atleast.

I’m not that bothered if Shaul comes or not because 2 into 1 doesn’t go. I’d rather sign Hardaker who can cover FB and play RC and wing at a push for the quality and utility. Or a young fullback with promise to develop under Jowitt.

I do hope we sign Croft. He was improving as the season went on and for me showed there’s something there for the future.

Lyne will ship Murphy in for loads of try’s

.

Shaul wouldn’t make a massive difference at all imo. We’d lose some attacking prowess but probably get a bit more in defence. Jowitt was showing glimpses he was working on this to the back end of the season pulling players into the right areas.

Id support Shaul if he comes but Max is the future at full back and will be at Shauls age a better player imo all round.

Not sure why 2 into 1 won’t go. Anyway I really like Ashalt-bolt?? He wouldn’t cost the earth and is quite young.

As for Max, until that line defence improves he’s always vulnerable, and it hasn’t imho. I don’t know but id suggest that’s what puts coaches off.

It not a bravery issue, he needs to develop a technique.

Back to AB it’s his attacking game I’ve noticed, don’t honestly know if he can defend.

Just signed a four year deal with Toulouse.
