Think we will start the season with under 30 players. The squad we have already is more than capable on paper in the championship. Dual registration will cover any emergency gaps and enable us to bide our time and get the right players in as the season progresses. no need to rush now and sign everyone at once, a lot of gems are uncovered from Australia when the seasons underway and they are not getting game time

In his interview I'm pretty sure Powell said a starting squad of 34. How that is composed and who is included I couldn't say.

Think there will be 3-4 more signings at least before the Rhinos game.

Looking at the squad as is it’s certainly capable but it won’t be easy nailing that top spot without a few top quality signings in key positions as we are. If we are then some players need to really step up this season like Croft, Shaw and the two new forwards Bain and Boothroyd.

An enforcer prop is a must, a quality second row and halfback should finish the squad off though we could possibly do with some quality adding in the backs and depth.

Rumours that we’ve signed Myles Lawford from Bradford

Yes, I've just read that too.

Quite hot property too, by all accounts.

Several SL clubs have been after him

Just seen ‘the game caller’ has posted it on his twitter. Genuinely know nothing about the lad but guessing Powell rates him and obviously fits the mould of a young HB that he wanted. If various SL clubs have been after him then he must have something.

Definitely appears to "fit the mould"...looking at that picture, I'm sure he's yet another ginner

Knew there was another thread. Couldn't find it.

That starting 13 looks very good to me, the bench is strong and some very good back up 18-25 with probs a couple of them being regulars on the bench (smith/Kay)

I'd be happy with Hewitt

No need for a back row, half and prop required for me.

I'll be honest here but Hewitt never stood out for me. Most of the games he played in, more often than not, I usually failed to notice him, other than the one where he got sin-binned of course.
I know several on here rated him, but I didn't.
Think we can do better personally.
