Hall was Hull KR's best player in the Grand Final. Things can taper off at his age but as of now he's a very good signing for at least a year and relatively cheap on the cap.

I think Hall was signed for his reliability and hard yards from deep.
It's only a one year deal so my guess is after that we will either move Handley back to wing and sign or promote a centre or sign a winger depending what's available

If BA sees him as a potential centre that'll do for me. If it doesn't work out we have other options.

Sangare to Salford

Interesting. You'd have to think we are in for another domestic prop.

Must be otherwise no sense in it… he’s under contract too so this is an interesting one

Liam Byrne perhaps?

Could just be a cap clearing exercise for Sivo

Don`t think many Wigan fans would be too unhappy.
Maybe Eseh?
Or Mulhern would be one of the best domestic signings we could make imo.

I don’t think he’ll be replaced, I reckon they’re hoping Holroyd is Sangare’s ‘replacement’

Think that`s a bit of a risk.
I reckon we need to replace him as it gives us options not to mention cover for injuries/bans.

Think it would be a very risky move to play the "practically a new signing card" in Holroyd's case. You'd think Momorovski departing would allow enough cap (utilising a marquee spot) to land Sivo. Getting rid of Sangare, who in fairness has been very poor, would once again leave us looking light in numbers in a position that almost everybody agreed needed significant strengthening. Cannot let that happen again.

I agree, just don’t think we’ll see a replacement.

I could be wrong, but we’re talking about replacing 5th or 6th placed prop, the options of any real quality will be very limited.

I think if Momo and Sangare go and Sivo' wage is half covered by his former team then we should have some cap free.

Oledski
Palasia
Holroyd
Lisone
Jenkins

Isn't bad. I'd be happier with another starting quality prop but I think just getting those two off the books is good work

Maybe we will see Gannon doing the odd spell at prop.

TNW is still here isn't he? I think he'll prove too small in the long term, but as sixth choice he'd be OK. The one that needs to improve massively (assuming Holroyd can get fit) is Lisone. He is way down on what we need from a quota player on last year's form, and needs to show he can cut out mistakes and have an impact against better teams, not just come on and batter everyone when we're already winning.

Great news - the French lump ( Sangare ) on his way to Salford - a total waste of space. Heres hoping , Momo next .

I think you need balance in the front row. We used to have two absolute beasts in Peacock and Leuleui who were the starters, with Bailey and Kirke who were simply there to hold the fort while the other two had a rest.

Our balance in FR can't be that heavily weighted on two players anymore. It looks like both Palasia and Jenkins are in the mould of bigger minute props. Palasia seems to have decent hands, and those three alongside Mik and Holroyd (if he can stay fit) could create good consistency across our interchange without loosing intensity.

I'm hopefully Lisone being limited to 15 minute high energy stints will free him up to do his role better. Sangare when he first joined also seemed like a decent enough, shorter minute impact player. I can't understand the desire to have ever made him into a starting FR.

Parra have announced Sivo is to leave the club. I wonder where he's off.

Hmm.. it's hoping Holroyd stays fit and Jenkins works out is that... TNW the same..

Totally agree. Also you never know with Sanagare with his age and a full pre season under Brad Arthur. He's still got the potential to mature yet..

One of the reasons I was optimistic last season was that a 'fit Holroyd' would feature regularly and be pushing alongside Oledski for an England place. It is all the more worrying if we're pinning our hopes on him again. A real Sangare replacement would be ideal, notwithstanding the two forward additions made so far. After all, Holroyd played less in 2024 and when he did play looked worse than Sangare, IMO.

I said after we announced Connor that if we could swap Mom for Sivo or a good quality NRL centre and then Sangare for Byrne or Eseh that I think that would be a decent off season.

I think Sivo and Eseh are the most likely to come in

I'd be happier if Eseh or Byrne came in to replace Sangare for sure but if not we are still in a better place than last year.

Just got to wait and see

I think releasing Sangare and not replacing him is asking for trouble. We need to be consistently fielding a large front row each week and if Holroyd's availability is as per normal, then this will be very difficult.
