[quote="PopTart":2ez2jiy0]He'd be nice to have but Watkins wouldn't be first on my list.[/quote:2ez2jiy0] MacDonald inside Johnstone would be a terrifying prospect to be honest. Though I wouldn’t want to stunt Pratt’s development who I think could be special. He has future international capability written all over him imo. Just realised we are absolutely stacked with centres. Scott Hall Pratt Croft Roarke Myers Booth Gives us plenty of capable options already. I would be interested if McDonald did come to see Scott transition to second row. He’s got the physical presence for that imho.

Looking at the club ethics around the suitability players on and off the field I am not sure McDonald fits the bill. He doesn't seem to have much loyalty

Agree with everything above. It’s a tricky one isn’t it - and shows what a good place Mills and Powell have got our squad in. 100% on Pratt’s development. I want to see him play centre this year and MacDonald would essentially put a stop to that. He’s also a bit of an odd character by all accounts but loves playing rugby and can just turn it on. Don’t know if we want that kind of character, but him and TJ would score for fun. Scott’s also said he really wants to play centre and that’s one of the things that enticed him to join us. How about Marsters? Technically a centre but has played plenty of wing in the NRL, and plays in the halves for Cook Islands. Also comes across a much more hardworking professional than MacDonald. Til he got injured last year he was the top metre maker in SL. Top class cover for centres, very good cover for wing.

I’d rather us pick up a domestic prop from Salford and not rush to fill up our last quota spot, they need to be used wisely.

Which one of Hill, Singleton, Sangare, Bullock or Ormondroyd (off to Cas anyway) would you prefer? Aside from Hill I’m not sure any of them get into our starting 17

Any of the others would be squad players which personally I’m fine with, it’s a long season, we will get injuries, so capable replacements are important to make sure we don’t see a drop of in performance, especially in the pack where most games are won and lost.
