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...

Came through the academy, still only young but played the majority of last season because of McNally being injured a lot of the time.
Very nearly joined Featherstone during the off season but decided to stay with us and go full time.
Not the biggest and not the quickest but is certainly a prospect and worth keeping.

He can't do it all on his own though and if Gregg leaves we'll need somebody else. The problem is, who?

Guess, you would prefer an experienced FB in the championship....with Pickersgill as back up. I've heard different rumours about McNally, 'having a break from the game/retiring to signing for Leigh.
If we don't sign him, we also have no recognized full back. I was hoping we would get Will Dagger back on loan from Hull KR....but nothing yet. And also we've still not announced any pre-season games !!!

It must be time for a clue
I keep looking over other teams squads, and cant find anyone that would pleasantly surprise and be let go by the current team

Well I’m going to put a name up
My guess is
Adam quinlan

Quinlan did his ACL in September.

Let's go for the old nugget Keiran Moss.

Signed for north Sydney Bears

Ile stick with my choice, I believe it will be someone from hulkr, only my own thoughts though

I think he signed a contract extension with KR during last season, then as someone else has mentioned he got a long term injury at the back end of the season. Can't see it.

My thoughts are that if they have signed josh drinkwater on some silly money, then they will need to balance the books, and as we all know, contracts mean nothing

But why would we sign someone who will probably miss most of season ?

As a direct and similar replacement for GM. Ahem.

I know who would be a nice surprise
Damian sironen
I know he ain’t no full back
But boy oh boy can he play

1. Hitchcox
2. Ryan
3. Webster
4. Gibson
5. Evans

Considerably? Realise im a bit late to the party
