I think we could cover the loss Mcdonnell with Shaul and Horne.

Crookes would leave us very short on the wings, and if Biggs can't come until May. I would certainly keep Crookes, unless a better replacement can be found and we could release him with a big impact on the cap.

After watching the 19's last year I dont think we have any wingers that are ready to play SL yet, the FB, Josh Nicklin did get POTY for the 19's though, not convinced he is ready though.

Jordal Abdul has played a bit of FB and I really like the look of him, but he needs to lose some weight, If I was Radford I would be getting him training the house down as he has all the skills to make the step up, he has a great long kicking game, he has a massive boot on him.

Be suprised if a local winger comes though in the next 4 to 5 years.

Its just a position we dont or cant seem to develop locally, maybe down to the fact that certain youth coaches only pick wingers as the last 2 men, or that the teams dont play and use them when theyre on the pitch so the kids who get these either get bored of the game, lose interest or go to other sports (football)

3 of these possibly leaving so we do need an outside back and defo need an HB.

We'll only need a back if players move on. As it is now, we're fine.

How many overseas places do we have available as the squad stands now?

And they're possibly not. As it stands we're fine.

And every single member of the playing squad, coaching staff and management team could possibly drop down dead, develop an aggressive terminal illness or simply decide they want to spend the rest of their lives watching daytime TV.

Get some semblance of reality FFS, you're becoming a bigger troll than some of those from the darkside

yes but more then likely are so we wont be fine bud.

How are they more than likely to leave?

Why would we let Crookes go after all what Radford did for him last season? Miller, because the mole said so? And where would we find a replacement?

I just know were after a HB and a back so someones going what do you reckon?

Only according to this forum

Good enough for HDM, it'll be a 'trusted source' exclusive tomorrrow

I reckon trying to find a replacement for McDonnell and Miller will be virtually impossible.

With shaul been first choice and if McDonnell does go , maybe they is something in the lee smith rumour . At least he can cover from 1 to 5 . Not brilliant but not a bad squad player as back up .

We have Horne who could cover these positions. Even wing. I would rather us sign a forward with flair. Really should've tried harder to keep manu. Or may have to find a scrum half and pay top dollar. If rumours are true. Offer cash for dobbo. Good business by knights if doesnt play and they get money too.

He only signed a one year contract, which I thought odd at the time.

And told was third choice half back.

Can't see Miller leaving in all honesty.. People are just listening to all the hype. AP brought Miller here so can't see him letting him go early.

See this written a lot. What else could we have done exactly? We offered him by all accounts, more money and a longer deal than saints. He just wanted a change.

I heard it wasnt longer. And messed him around for a year up until he left. I think they matched saints offer at the end but already agreed to leave.

Indeed, it's a misconception that we "didn't try hard enough"

You mean the one trick pony who is easy to read and close down !

Anyone heard about a new signing announced in next few days ?

Kit launch?
