I've heard about a centre but that was Matthew Allwood from the warriors.

Not heard of him? I follow the warriors (loosely) too.

Allwood is a hull kr player according to the ever reliable Wikipedia. ... agree about the back row though Donaldson is tenacious but ultimately too small to play there at super league level....

A backrow of Greenwood and Blair is bigger than Farrell and Bateman. For me backrow is more about strength and speed than size alone.

Think you need a bit of both.Last time around in Superleague under various coaches we went with mobility over grunt. Even in Championship we had a few games with pack on back foot.We have the makings of a good side but like people are saying we need quality not quantity and I'd still like to see 1 or 2 6 foot plus
Hefty types to compliment our medium sized players who certainly have big hearts. It's a nice problem to have I guess between now and new season?

Do we have any quota spots available? Wouldn't expect zdc to stay so that obviously clear up one but imagine we would sign more then one overseas player....

I'd release Clark and Quinlan

I thought clark was exempt? Raised in pontefract?

Not fed trained Iirc Doesn't matter where you were born and raised. Its where you were trained apparently

Sorry I am confused (suffering from man flu ) so is clark on the quota? I agree about quinlan although I have a feeling Tim trusts him to regain his form.

Forget the quota as its all about Fed and Non fed. You are allowed 7 non fed iirc. A fed trained player can be born and grow up anywhere in the world but if he came through the ranks of a club (amateur or Pro) in the RLEF(Europe) region then he is classed as fed trained. If the player was trained elsewhere in the world(Aus, NZ PNG etc.) then he is classed as non fed. Mitch Clark iirc was trained down under so he is classed as non fed.

Thanks for clearing that up chief, then I would definitely offload clark, he's obviously not favored by Tim and he's not going to get a good run of games at sl level to prove him otherwise.
