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.

So if rumours are Salford are safe I can’t imagine us still signing Watkins if they don’t need to sell which is a shame but also happy for Salford

seems as sivo is out for season can't we get some salary dispensation?

[quote="Toblakai":ac7mclev]seems as sivo is out for season can't we get some salary dispensation?[/quote:ac7mclev] Looks that way, the question would be who is available to sign at this late stage?

Might be one where we go into the season and see if anyone becomes available.

I feel the club will 100% get Sivo dispensed from our 2025 cap he is also one of our marquee players so can’t see Blease & Hetherington just allowing Sivo’s salary and place being wasted. It’s so unfortunate for Sivo I think he would have been great for us hopefully he can recover as best as possible and his start with us is just delayed a year. Can’t see us rushing to replace him so late into pre season and don’t think it’ll be like for like as we do have plenty of cover for the wings at the moment. Handley, Hall, Edgell, Lumb, McCormack & Simpson can all be options on the wing. I can still see Miller possibly being used there as well this season. But we now effectively have a 25 man squad for the season and I don’t think it’ll stay that way so can definitely see Leeds putting Sivo’s place to use mid season.
