That's how I see it re Griffin.
He looks fit and he's doing everything and more asked of him.
ATEOTD there's only one person who knows if he got another season in him and that's Josh Griffin .

Isn't that the reason he said that this would be his last season though, he felt his body was telling him it was time to quit.

I agree tbh, I'd try persuade Griffin to stay for another year, simply because I think he's a better player than the other available back rowers.

Just seen Abdull isn't out of contract, but he is out of favour obviously, so will probably move. According to League Express Catalans are in pole position to sign him, which makes sense. So it's looking a bit tight isn't it.

If Powell thinks Lino and Russell with Lawford/Jowitt as back up will work fair enough

I think it's only 50k for a club produced player like TJ.

Marquee rule I guess only comes into play once you hit the cap. Once we get to that stage your highest earner counts less due to marquee allowance.

Yeah TJ if we do sign would count as a maximum of £50k against our cap. Its one of the reasons why we are hopefully able to get him because any other club he would cost more against their cap so we are able to outbid other clubs.

Quite a few on that list who I would not fancy, plus plenty who seem fringe players. Th one who stands out is Bennison at Saints. He is still young and improving and can cover many positions in the backs

I'd take Alrix Da Costa if Catalans don't plan on keeping him.

A few people seem to rate Oliver Leyland from London Broncos. To be honest I’ve never seen him play, so can’t comment.

Would take Cust and Parcell at Wakey.

Will be interesting to see how we use the quota spots.

Parcell is cooked. Going home to Aus.

We've used them or all, as far as I can see it anyway. There was a conversation about it a few pages back.

We've got Atoni, Rodwell, Vagana, Uele, Lino, Walmsley, and Bain all signed up on at least 2-year deals. Uele was just signed initially on a one-year deal, but he has just signed for another year. Bothroyd seems to be a year, even though at 20 he looks to have the potential to be a very good SL player but sadly he's a quota, if he wasn't we'd be keeping him IMO. All this is obviously on the proviso that there isn't anything in their contracts about Championship only but I can't see it.

I'm generally happy with the overseas we've got, the Props especially, they're young, big, athletic and only going to get better and grow as players this season, Atoni being the oldest at 28. Without naming names though I feel there are probably a couple where I think we could get British players to do the job, without using up a quota space.

I've watched a lot of London and one player I really like the look of is Meadows at 7, I'm not sure he's the level of being a starting SL half challenging for the top 6, but he would certainly be a useful to have in the squad, he looks good in a very poor team getting beat every week which is something.

Leyland is raw, makes a lot of errors and is a little bit off the pace for SL IMO.
