If we're talking Brit, I'd be looking at Sneyd rather than Gale. Although if we don't add firepower up front first there's no halfback pairing that'd be an unqualified success.

I could have seen that - the 2 SL clubs his agent is closest to are Cas and Warrington

If Cas are short of money tell them they can keep Gale and we will take Junior Moors and Millington off them because they are what we badly need in our pack.

More 32 year old forwards who are past their best and increasingly injury prone?

I think we've probably passed the point now where we're going to sign a young-ish, decent level prop on a 3 or 4 year contract, so I'd take Moors or Millington for a couple of years to tide us over until the less beneficial contracts run their course and we can get shot.

See Mullally has opened a vegan cafe in North Lane!start of a new career hopefully?

Surprised nobody has mentioned Merrin has arrived

I wonder if the fact he has appeared in 2 club / YEP media stories this week may be an indication that you won't get your wish and that he is on the "staying" list?

I,m sure you are right,I harbour the very faint hope that Furner can improve him beyond all recognition!

I don't think Mullally is as bad as some make out. He should be able to do more minutes on the field, and have a bit more impact for a man of his size, but I like his unorthodox style and ability to win penalties in the ruck. He's also not so bad at scoring the odd short-range try. If his attitude is good I've no problem with keeping him for another year. Let's see what Furner can do with him...

I have to agree. Certainly something was amiss last year especially after the potential of the year before. Good luck to him.

I have to agree with this also. I always thought he comes in for a bit of a bashing on here that i'm not sure he deserves. As far as i know he is quite young and Props always seem to bettter with age IMO

He's a bit Kirk-esque but occasionally picks a decent line to run and generally does ok. Attitude seems fine. He'd not be top of my list to get rid of though the fact he's been touted may be down to him being a player that other sides might actually want rather than a reflection of low ability.

I don't get the anti-Mullally stuff. He might not be a mega tackle buster but he makes as many metres per carry as any of the front rowers, doesn't miss many tackles & has a low error count. I think Furner will advance him further this next season. Send him to Cas if you don't want him.

I like Mullally. OK he's not world class but always seems to give of his best. I think that some of the WHINOS! just need a whipping boy and, since Kirke left, it's now Mullally.

I don't think the Mullalley comments have anything to do with putting him down. It was more a case of he appeared the one that needed to be released in order to sign the realy quality we need. On that basis the comments were fair and justified, as real quality is what is needed.

I thought that was Walters. Or Ferres. Or Sutcliffe. Or Ablett.

I don't think people dislike him as such but like many over the last three years he needs more consistency. One game he looks like he could be really good, the other he is bang average. If he can reach a level of consistently decent (doesn't have to be world class because he isn't and never will be) performances then he is a good squad member who probably isn't on mega bucks.

Load of Guff he's had plenty of gametime to improve & show his worth he hasn't done it simple as.
He like the other lummox you mention above is just taking up SC space we could use elsewhere & a squad spot we should be giving to another youngster.

lets hope he can sort his running style into contact out as he was very much on the radar of the disciplinary last season with a couple of bans and other warnings for his 'knees up' style.

I see your giving James Donaldson a trial

Do you ?

Yes

Can't see the harm for the club - but he wont play - if he does the likes of Cameron Smith wont

He's one of those players who will give everything & has all the core skills but is just not big enough. It's what frustrates me about players like Ferres who have it all, with the size, but just can't be assed half the time.
