Signed a contract extension with them this season so highly unlikely i would say

For the half back role it's Holdsworth and chase and if we cannot get them third choice Brough, looks like everyone knows Jason Crookes is signing for us and then i think that just leaves a spot for another big (NRL?) front rower. See Westerman and Ellis being our first choice second rower if tickle leaves, no disrespect to Westy but think you can really tell the difference when Richard Whiting is in at 13. Depending on how we end this campaign, would really like to see josh bowden given more of a role, see him as a perfect like for like replacement when Lynch retires. Although could seeing us maybe taking advantage of the Huddersfield exodus and maybe a few ore from Bradford.

Shannon McDonnell will be our fullback next year I reckon and think we will get Scott Taylor

Taylor defo

As for Shannon, there is better, besides, we've signed Widdup

As many people have said, Smailes has come out and said that we will NOT be signing Danny Brough. Where also signing Crabtree, Patrick, a top NRL prop and a top NRL fullback. According to rumours on here. Doesn't add up myself.

Imo I don't think we'll manage to sign Chase nor will we sign Patrick or Crabtree, and an NRL fullback won't be coming either. I do believe we will sign Holdsworth, NRL prop probably Kite and Taylor from KR.
All my opinion of course.

I hope we don't go anywhere near Crabtree

Crabs dont grow on trees

If he cut his hair he'd be seen for not running his weight, he goes missing too often for me as well, we near a tear up rough 4rse prop.

We do, an angry fit O'Meley would do

think we can do better

Crabtree would be a great signing as would Patrick (I'm a huge fan of his), but I can't see neither signing for us.

Hell yeah we do!!

TBH I just dont get all the fuss with Crabtree. Ok he's a big fella but for me he just doesn't use his size, another version of Paul McNicolas / Wayne McDonald. Can't say I've ever really seen Crabtree rip it up, certainly think Watts has more about him than Crabtree. We need a player like Moa who runs it in hard and fast and makes sure the opponents know when they've tackled or been tackled by him.

TBH a fit O'Meley wouldnt be a bad option when looking at available alternatives, although Paul Johnson has always looked pretty good when I've seen him.
