It does have a better look, hopefully Briscoe will hang around for another year.

Is this confirmed?

Nope, but then is anything on here.

Bold are the ones I think could be potential signings and improve our squad.

Salter & Green have just signed 2 year extensions. Wheeldon signed for the Broncos last weekend.

Thats why I said it is little out of date (maybe 2 weeks) a few players on there have signed new deals.

Not sure why everyone seems to be assuming Johnson would be a direct replacement for O'Meley. We went into this season 1 prop short, so even if we did sign Johnson we should still be looking for replacements for both Moa and O'Meley if they do leave. Johnson also plays back row, so you could quite as easily say he might be a replacment for Aspinwall, in which case he's younger, has more potential, and I think has a better injury record, so would be an improvement.

Still think it's strange that people seem to be passing judgement with apparent certainty on our recruitment/retention for next year based on rumours, when the facts that remain are that it is only just May and the only official announcements are that we've effectively replaced Manu with Ellis.

We signed Pitts mid season, also Bowden looking good, I agree though it is an area we should be strengthening more if Moa & O'Meley go.

Id pick Rhys Williams from Wire above Crookes, not that i think they would let him go

Not convinced Pitts is a prop, personally, and he's effectively a replacement for Burnett IMO. Regardless of what Gentle says about mobility Pitts does need to bulk up a bit if he's going to play prop, the games against Hudds and Wigan showed how he'll be bumped off through the middle if he doesn't. If the Johnson rumour is true and we do indeed lose Moa and O'Meley, next year's props so far are Lynch, Johnson, O'Carroll and Bowden. We need at least one more there IMO, preferably 2.

After reading Gentle's comments I think we are going to be left a little underwhelmed by our signings for next year. The signings we have 'apparently' made are not about to land us in the top four (Arundel, Crookes, Johnson). Young players with potential but they will need time.

Think our overseas signing will be a prop.

Scott Dureau would be an awesome signing.

We turned him down once, and signed a much inferior halfback. Although 5 clubs in total failed to recognize his ability before Catalans snapped him up.
