I’m hearing ya but Edit has sailed lol

Oh well it’s 2025 and 2026 all in one thread maybe ?

We'll probably have the 1 quota spot next year, I imagine Cartwright will want to use recruiting oversees, looking at super league there's not a great deal available next year, I hope we're looking at the following:

Josh Simm
George Lawler
Sam Halsall
Morgan Gannon
James McDonnall
Mikolaj Oledjski
Joe Batchelor
Toby King
Connor Wrench
Liam Byrne
Matt Whitley

I've left out the likes of Lees, Knowles, Farrell etc... as the likelihood of them leaving St's and Wigan will be near enough nil, but it looks like a lot of clubs will be fishing in a very small pond domestically next season, shows the importance of giving your youth a chance.

What we need is a couple of young players from the next batch ready to play SL, if say Moy and Westerman are ready to play SL regularly in 2026, that's our backs pretty much sorted.

If we can add Sutton for this year and bring in some like Byrne and Batchelor. The likes of Charles, Kirby, Wainhouse getting stronger and ready to play 10 plus games a season.

I think would continue to improve amd aim for the top 6.

The tamper deadline makes no difference. Agents have always touted their players around pre the deadline anyway.

One are we've neglected for a long time is the lower leagues. I'd like to see us making more effort and trying to bring a couple of decent t championship prospects in

Would be surprised, as it stands, if Balmforth is still with us. Coaching staff not overly impressed with his engine. Sat him down and told him the 9 needs to be the fittest in the team, and he's way off. Andy last kept up with him in some training drills last week
