Is Booth home grown?

I think we'll see Booth transition more into a three quarter. Max has got the full back shirt nailed down, and then with Rourke coming in we look covered there for at least a couple of years. And from what I've seen so far of Booth, I think he's got the size and speed to make an impact there.

Booth also seems to be able to pass on the right well. I noticed at full back he often attacked to create space e on the right as opposed to Max who gravitates left. Could be a good option for right centre in the future.

Going to be a fight for that right centre spot. Hall, Scott, Booth. Though Scott may play second row.

I imagine Roarke if he signs will cover like Booth the back line.

I doubt that we'll pursue Rourke now.

What makes you say that?

We certainly need another good 5/6 players so he could still be on the cards.

The Roarke rumour was weeks ago so I’d imagine the pursuit is already over one way or the other.

Rourke's signed. Still him and Matty Russell to announce.

We only need God to come on and confirm now.

That would pretty much finish the back line and I would be fine with that.

Just a 9, prop and second row to finish up - one of which a marquee.

I’d like to see us look at these but we’ll see- Parcell, Royle, Hood, Neko, Boothroyd, Bienek.

Can we hold you to that?

Yes.

I agree they'd be the three positions we need, but I think we'll bring in the Titans second rower and that'll be it for new signings. I think Hood will do another year, and Griffin. I wouldn't be surprised if we use Storton at prop if we need to. Could possibly open up another spot if Lino leaves, assuming he's third choice.

I was stood near Mick Morgan at last sundays match and he shouted to Neil Fox that his grandson had got man of the match. So is Noah Booth his grandson ?

He's from Cas area, and we signed him from Warrington didn't we?

Yes. That's what I thought.
Won't be on our 'homegrown list'

Yes Booth is Mick Morgans Grandson

Yes I remember now.

He's been in the Neil Fox Stand near me to watch him.
It always bugged me that Cas claim him as one of their own when he was a star for us in the 70s.
I hope Booth playing brings him back.

A little bit

Had a blinder one year in the schoolboy Wembley curtain raiser.

Russell not having a good game today.

Missed a few tackles but tbh Hudds are getting absolutely mullered in the forwards amd Huddersfield look truly woeful.

I hope Russell. Remembers how to play behind a strong pack for next season.

He’ll get a complete clean slate from me next season as it’s so hard to guage when it looks like Huddersfield are falling to bits.

I have to say and I’m going to have a punt here but I think Huddersfield could be in danger of being out of SL in 2025…

Leigh, Cas, Us all improved score. Hudds I fail to see where they can improve and they look very vulnerable to me. That’s my outside bet anyway.

Switched over from Hull v Salford hoping to see a competative game between Shudds and Wire. No such luck.

Do we still have the receipt for the Oliver Russel deal? Begining to wish it was Matty.

The problem with Russell is Giants don't use him. It all goes through Clune.
I don't know what he'll be like for us but his defense is very good for a half and his kicking both long and short us good.
You just can't tell what he'll be like if he's given control.

For Giants to be in trouble Toulouse need to improve their score.

We'll be above them but I think they'll be in the 12.

I know we have this discussion every week but McMeekan looks much more comfortable at prop.

For me he is a direct replacement for Bowden.

McMeekan
Atoni
Rodwell
Uele
Is an awesome middle unit.

He played at 13 tonight. We may as well throw that in at this rate. I think he can just play any just as good and that’s why opinions split.

He was shaky today but he found some good go forward in that second half which was good to see.

You also missed Vagana.

Mckmeeken
Atoni
Rodwell

Vagana
Lingard
Cozza - more of a 13 but still an option
Bain - more of a 13 imo but still an option

Talking about props. Just watched the London game tonight and Bienek was solid again tonight for London. May be an option that wouldn’t break the bank.

Browsing on the saints discussions and Royle is highly thought of and praised by most with them feeling he hasn’t been given the chance. Could certainly be worth a play for him. Could be another Ashurst in the making.

I didn't miss them. I just named my starting 4.

If he played 13 he just played it like a middle as he packed in the front row and was spelled with the props. But the point still stands. I prefer him in the middle not on the edge.

Atoni was dreadful last time he played SL, there was nothing awesome about him. He's got a lot still to prove next season.
