Phew!
George king to giants confirmed 4 year deal.
He was behind Jack brown in kr squad
Glad we didn’t get him on a 4yrs deal.

Litten potentially missing start of the season.

Got to be looking at another centre now.

Think the club have messed up not using a quota spot on a centre.

Will they be looking though? Chamberlain and Hardaker were always going to be the first choice centres this year. Litten was only ever going to be a backup. Throw in Briscoe, Rapana and young Westerman as other centre options and they might feel that they are covered. Particularly if they feel confident that they can handle players fitness better going forward and lessen the injuries.

As for the quota spots, I think they have used a lot of the free places to bring in players that Cartwright knows and trusts which I think is a going to be a crucial factor in helping to turn us around as a club. Was there a centre available that fit that mold? I'm not sure.

What's Connor Wynne up to

Chamberlain isn't good enough to be a starting centre, ge should be a squad player. I'm sure he played more games in the backrow than centre for us.

Surely not every signing we maje under Cartwright is a player he trusts, limits our options.

I'd be looking at bringing in someone like Connor Wrench or Jayden Myers, add some competition to that position

Unless we can do some deals for a couple of forwards and pay Sao off.

Is Wrench available?

Wrench did his ACL not much point in us signing him.

Not sure but they have King and Tai as first choice and Lindopp coming although, he is at an age where he will wa t to be more than a back up.

I didn't say sign him, someone like him, an up and coming centre, but more experienced than the likes of Westerman and Dawson.

Just dont see Ed C as a starting centre. We look weaker than the 2024 season at centre.

Pretty sure Myers is banned for the first 4-5 games of next season, not sure if there's anything else in the championship worth a look maybe Kieren Gill, the other option is to pay a fee but unsure who is realistic and how much cap we have.

I agree with that but the reality nobody gives a 29 Year old a 3 year deal that must be decent enough to be worth relocating from the North West just to be a back up or squad player. The club think he can do a job as the starting centre think that’s always been the plan, maybe he’ll surprise a few people.

I agree. Chamberlain should be a squad player or bench player at best. I've seen enough of him to suggest he is solid and will do a decent job but not good enough to start. As DSJ1983 stated he's been given a 3 year contract which would suggest he'll be more than a bit part player.

We really need a decent centre and another forward preferably a prop. Easier said then done.

said all along he will be a starting centre with Hardaker and giving him a three year deal is a joke.
We are really going places with that strike partnership which will send shivers through S/L opposition with their pace and power

Bet the comments about Chamberlin have made your day
