yes, essential. he's our most most improved player this season. hope the trio of green bowden and hadley all have long term futures with us

Agreed. Bowden showing his abilities now he's had an injury free run. I thought hadley was good when he got a few games at the back end of last season and green is starting to improve but needs to up his workrate. I reckon bowden will have plenty of clubs interested so hopefully we can get him signed up

fullback and running 6 really not that much different these days.

Indeed.

Rankin is no wear near good enough to play 1 or 6 for a team looking to challenge. We need better.

Bowden should be the next on a 3 year deal.

Like him or not Yeaman is fighting hard for a new deal and is well on the way to changing my mind and others about him, looks like a new player, dropping him has really given him a kick up the backside.

He was at the game yesterday, so doubt that he only went for a few days. However, Pearson did say that he was going over there in a few weeks. Probably some wires crossed with Smurthwaite somewhere.

Based on talent then yes, based on other factors, injuries, attitude and cost then no.

Don't think Radford or Pearson would touch him.

Reckon he is after an NRL deal, probably the main reason he has started to play.

He's had a few good games, but nothing that would have me thinking he was the answer. We're doing OK at the moment, so any new signings need to be significant upgrades in talent. (Other than Pryce, who is a similarly bad signing as Long was)

according to todays Rugby leaguer Bowden is interesting Wigan

Not surprised.

Would imagine we're looking to get him on a long team deal, hope so.
