A lot of people keep stating that there could be an NRL prop on the cards, rumours flying around in oz that Asotasi is SL bound, and possibly cheaper than everyone would think due to his recent injury problems!

Just a thought

I can't see Asotasi leaving Souths.

Pitts is a wakey academy product, made his debut a few years ago at trin. Leeds snapped him up 2 years ago and he has played a fair few games for both Leeds/wakey. Always been a solid performer has Pitts. Making it sound like Pitts is unknown and a young inexperienced player who has become consistent purely because gentle signed him is not true.

From what I have seen over the years he has always been consistent and a solid SL player who will not let you down.

yes maybe your right i don't no, but i never heard of him.

people questioned gentles signing of him, and it's paid off just like aspinwall

Really never heard of Pitts before? He's been a good signing for us, got good hands and still remember that offload he made against Leeds at the KC, was brilliant. Can't see him bulking up that much tbh if Gentle plans on playing him in the front row.

As for Aspinwall, I'd be happy to see him given another 1 year deal. He can cover every position in the pack barring hooker. He'll be a valuable squad player

Stood with two Cas fans in Beaver in Beverley on Sat watching the cup and they were saying how they should have kept Arundel as he's had bad luck this season but could be a very shrewd signing. They also said Chase has received a Jersey visa? I told them I'd believe all visa talk when I see it officially and then because we'd had a few ales by that time it descended into friendly "feeder club" banter instead

Pitts would be a decent signing for any team. Solid player with a good engine. Always good to see a wakey youngster do well. Good luck to him.

I'm looking forward to see Ellis play for you. I still remember his SL debut in a wakey shirt. Could tell at the tender age Ellis was going to be a class act.

I think a gentle nudge will do the trick.

Back line looking something like this then:

McDonnell
Crookes/Lineham
Arundel/Crooks
Yeamo
Briscoe

Pretty decent. McDonnell not best, but not worst. Got better as the season went on.

McDonnell
Lineham
Arundel
Yeaman
Briscoe

For me, give Crooks time to bulk up and he'll still get plenty of game time next season.

McDonnell
Crookes
Chase
Holdsworth
Prop (Taylo/Amor?)
Prop (NZ)
Backrow (Bateman/Masila?)
