McShane definitely on the radar. Radford tried to get him for this season. He's OOC next season.

Agree Dave,

I also rate Lunt & Beswick...

Jamie Peacock had a lot of praise for McShane at the weekend, saying he is a fantastic hooker - his speed of passing is very good

Great signing and a timley boost.

Although a few weeks ago there were plenty here calling him a fat pudding.

Barrista will have to stop lobbing her chocolate bars at players

Still need Paea to sign hope this is not a softener

Great signing for you, this lad will run through a brick wall and for me has been in the top3 props of the year!

Feka was signed on a 2 year contract. References to him being contracted next year in the HDM suggest Paea may not be signing. Hope I'm wrong.

I don't see Paea leaving, said he was happy and is big friends with Sa, Tony and Talanoa, think it will be just a matter of a few last minutes checks my his agent.

I hope I am not wrong

I do hope you're not wrong.

Suggestions Ellis will be moving to prop next year aren't helping either.

I think Ellis to prop was always the plan whether Paea stays or not.

You've got yourself some player in Taylor. He's not just been our best forward this season, but also our best player. Hull lad too, so I imagine he will run it that little harder for you as well.

Check his stats out from this season, very impressive.

I watched him a lot this year and everything he has been excellent, made so many yards and tackles (like the stats show). Was worried when I saw him condition at the start on the year, but that extra size, seems to have improved him.

Bad day for you guys today losing him and Tasi.
