So with Sivo confirmed I reckon our squad is pretty much set for 2025.

Like I've stated previously I've been told Arthur does want to try Handley at Centre so I'd imagine we could see him playing there in the pre season games, if it doesn't quite work out Connor will be our Centre I'd imagine this is the reason he was signed to cover our backline but can see him getting the 4 shirt.

Sivo & Handley will then be our wingers, Ryan Hall will probably be retiring after this season so he's at back up for us hence why I think he'll get the 25 shirt (he's debut number for us)

I've left the 20 shirt vacant because the last update I had we we're still looking at bringing in another middle/ Prop Liam Byrne was the only name I was given last time I'm hoping for another update in the next couple of weeks regarding this.

Mik is set to sign a contract extension, apparently

Good, best Prop we have produced in years has decided to remain with the club. Now time to take his game up a level under a much better coach than he has been used to for most if not all of his career so far.

Yup. Big year needed from all the props this year I think. Mik has been steady for the most part,Holroyd has been allover the place or injured and Lisone just hasn't done enough. Hoping Palasia and Jenkins along with a fit/ full preseason for the other three will make a big difference. If Miller/Hall/Handley can keep making the ground early on to help out and Newman / Sivo adding more strike it might finally be back to the play offs. Still worried about Frawley/7 our kicking game and leadership hasn't really changed and was very sub par at points in the last few years. At least we have Connor as a back up. Sinfield should be on a long loan with recall from game 1.

The rest of the out of contract players, for differing reasons, are harder to make a retain/let go decision on. I do feel that Frawley and Lisone would both have to play out of their respective skins in order to make a case for staying given the shortage of quota spots. Here's hoping both Holroyd and Gannon come back firing on all cylinders and make it an easy decision to make.
