Not strictly correct as I’ve watched Mckmeeken a few times this year and he’s played both prop and edge second row and every match he was the best forward on the pitch. Very excited to see him join.

Reality is we could use him in either.

If Vagana comes good then he could be used second row.

We do need a few more forwards though second row and probably another prop.

Parcell would be a cracking signing if Hood isn’t going to do one last year.

I did like the look of Judah Rhimbu though the PNG hooker who can play half who was given a trial at an nrl club in 2024.

Don’t think Bain, Boothroyd and Shaw are SL standard plus losing Bowden. I appreciate Trinity will have Storton,McMeeken and Corey Hall but think more quality is needed in the pack as it’s thin on the ground.

Rodwell and Uele will be very good in superleague.

Atoni has been much improved and is good enough for SL.

Mckmeeken is a current England forward.

Vagana has huge potential.

Bain’s future isn’t at prop imo and I genuinely think we will see him at 13 once we get a few props back and we will see him at 13 next year. He’s more of a defensive forward but I has a pair of hands on him so 13 would suit.

Boothroyd isn’t signed up as yet for SL though he’s more a second row and at 20 I’d challenge you to name any better forwards aged 20 in SL presently. There’s barely a handful.

Shaw I don’t think is signed up but I don’t know.

We do need another experienced prop for SL.

I’m not sure why you have so little faith in the middles who have dominated every pack in this league.

So no name's

Rhimbu great prospect and shout watched footage of him in qld
Good source like NSW and sg ball.
Think strategy is with this squad assembly is with the younger ones they have actually played together B4 plus there are a few signings u all don't know about

Very much looking forward to them being announced!

An experienced NRL half back possibly looking to move to SL next season… One to consider for Trinity? https://www.seriousaboutrl.com/nrl-play ... 93815/amp/

Looked back on this thread and some of the potentials have been mentioned but I know there's 1 or possibly 2 that haven't been anywhere. I think the recruitment for this year and next has been outstanding considering how long they had for this current squad particularly. In a perfect world I would like to see another X factor player come into the spine and I think it would be a 9 but I'm not sure if there would be anything left looking at the announced and rumoured signings and that's why I would like to see Lino try the hooker role out u never know he could really be a lot better at it than he is at half but wether he would want to or they would want him to is another matter. I'm sure they have a plan.

Not a broken record ,some one that looks at the team with out tinted glasses .The spine as been the biggest problem in the team for the last 3 year and cost us SL last year.

Hope I’m wrong…

It could do with one experienced quality addition but we absolutely need a couple of second rowers still.

A handful of quality players will make a huge difference.

Trueman out for the season again, 3rd season in a row, he has not finished the season, plus other injuries before at Cas.

Big risk if you have signed him, although should be for next season and think you could get him cheaper for the first year with Hull paying some of his salary.

Isn’t that TJ, Trueman, McMeekin and the lad from Hull all out for the rest of the season? Four new signings out?

But all ready for next year after having a good rest and hopefully full recovery. Johnstone could be fit for the playoffs.

If they make it
