Probably not him then if any.

It is Barrow he's signed for this season.




And called Guzdek.




Massively overrated IMO. Not surprising Jack Walker has taken over him as Walker looks top class and Golding is out of his depth at that level.

Has he played for both Leigh and Castleford??

It won’t be Clare he’s at cas another 2 years

Sorry I was a bit vague. Mata'utia?

Now that would be a good signing.

I don’t think Mata’utia qualifies as a signing we’d be ‘pleasantly surprised’ with! Plus I think he’s Cas first choice FB.

Unless raging bull is just guessing like all of us are

Not a a chance. He's Cas's first choice FB.

What about that lad that Wigan robbed from us? Brown?

Ben Roberts?

or that Simpson that Giants poached?

Thought he’d retired due to injuries?

He retired at end of season just gone.

Suppose GM does leave, does any replacement have to be a like for like replacement? What about another 3/4?

Who might we be realistical "pleasently surprised about" in a position other than FB?

With Peltier missing start of season suppose we might look at another Prop.

Is this a serious post?
Lose a full back sign a prop?

With Ross missing we still have
Crossley
Green
Kirk
Bustin
Magrin
Wilson
And even Wood

Hardly think we need another one do u?

Fine for props. Should be a like for like replacement if McNally is actually going. Keep the balance of the squad which at the moment I think is perfect.

If McNally isn't in the squad for next week I would assume that's him gone. Wait and see.

Surprised nobody has mentioned Ryan Bailey - he usually crops up at this time of year



Apparently he is on trial at Fev - came on as sub this afternoon, sin binned five minutes later and wasn't seen again.



BTW Fev got whipped 56-0 by a largely second string Castleford team, it looked like their team was a bunch of loanees and trialists. Let's hope they don't get sorted out until after we play them in the season opener



Seriously though, we need a full back more than a prop!

Unfortunately there will always be people who would prefer to sign Bailey and Hock than bring through Wilson and Storton.use them or lose them.

Looking like Gregg McNally is returning to Leigh. Talks are ongoing between the clubs. He still lives in Leigh, and his wife is suffering from AVN/avascular necrosis. Guess he needs to spend more time with Rose & his kids.

I’ve heard that his wife was very ill. No one can knock the lad if he needs to be at Leigh so he can spend more time at home. He’d be part time at Leigh wouldn’t he? Which makes sense. That’s why I’d want a like for like replacement. Get another great Fullback in for Pickersgill to learn from at this level. Brandon will get his chance anyway this year due to the number of games (with the introduction of 1895 Cup).

I think at the moment the squad is balanced perfectly so a straight replacement for McNally makes sense to me.

Having read the story on Gregg's wife's just giving page it sounds like him being based over there makes sense for his family. Hopefully the clubs can come to some arrangement.

I'm happy for us to sign a replacement fullback provided it's someone of quality, otherwise let's give Pickersgill the shirt and wait and see who becomes available.

How good is this Pickersgill ? Didn't he get selected ahead of McNally quite often. Local lad I'm guessing...
