So, with the 2020 season now finally over for us, the time has once again come for us to speculate on the in's and out's going into next season. Obviously all clubs finances have taken a huge battering, but from what MC and JM have said, we seem to have come through this better than some, so could potentially pick up one or two bargains before next season ??
Whilst the below list of Toronto players is obviously well out of date, not all of them have found new clubs yet, so with us potentially looking to off-load Green and maybe Kopczak as well (??), then are there any suitable candidates in the list ??

TORONTO WOLFPACK 2020 SUPER LEAGUE SQUAD

Sonny Bill Williams
Greg Worthington
Hakim Miloudi.

Was impressed with Mullally last time around but not so sure he is still at that same level ??

Big fan of Mullally but he’s landed in France Elite 1 league recently and maybe happy with life there. Always felt he offered something a bit different due to his erratic running and stepping techniques. Massive contribution when he was here on loan in 2015 but that’s now 6 years ago

He completely destroyed us playing for Leeds once, we couldn’t deal with him at all that night. Big impact in other matches too.

I’ve gone the long way round saying I think he’d be a decent signing and an improvement on several I think we should be cutting loose.

Apart from Sonny Bill, none of them jump out as someone we should sign.
Some have already gone but the ones that aren't bad are in positions in which we are strong.

Quite interesting to see Leeds forum discussing our players mainly Taginoa and Fifita. Am sure they were one of the first clubs with hands out for a loan. My guess bodene Thompson and other retentions will be their limit so not sure why fans suddenly think a crock of gold is going to appear out of nowhere.

Leeds have always taken too much interest in our better players, something which is unlikely to ever change.

Luke Gale anyone ????

Always rated Joe Mellor.

Leeds don't have that kind of money like they used to.
They'll be developing younger players to fill those gaps.

Joe Mellor for me out of that lot.

A few like Singleton and Thompson are already at new clubs. I would take Olbison if we weren’t stacked with back towers.

Wish we did have some "towers" at the back, Willzay....they would certainly shore up our defence !!

Joe Mellor for me too

Darcy lussick for me somtimes our forwards can lack a bit of agression somthing he has

Apart from o brien who is already spoken for and in a position we dont need any extra cover for i dont fancy any of their team remember where they were before covid and those players responsible for it all listed there

Just because the team performed poorly it doesn't mean they are poor players, I think we have had this point time after time but there are some quality players in that squad.

Despite the endless lessons that we’ve seen some fans persist in this belief. I’ve said it a thousand times, a player can be a nobody at one club, even a laughing stock in some cases, then for no obvious reason a star at his new club. Ditto the other way, a high profile, high reputation flop.

Look at Fifita, you won’t find many Cronulla fans who didn’t think of Dave as Andrew’s amusing but generally useless brother.

You have to buy the player not the reputation to fit the job you wish them to do. Obviously past reputation counts but it has to be weighed against circumstances. One of those has to be the state of the players previous club. So long as there are good reasons why said player underperformed then if Chester or whoever is satisfied that those issues won’t be repeated the it’s a coaches call as to whether the player can do a job.

My belief is that with about 90% of players if they had the potential to get signed as kids then it’s still there somewhere, it just needs to right catalyst.

That said it’s a gamble but all signings are even the very best can fail if it’s not right.

Think Mellor looks to have joined Leigh with what looks like a hopeful SL entry squad. Lussick going home isn’t he?

Chase Stanley? Big 6ft 2 tall 15 stone centre with lots of NRL experience. Relative of Tim Cahill who is a close friend of Tanginoa?

MC said that we are looking at strengthening the back line and we could certainly do a lot worse than Chase Stanley

Slightly related to th3 thread, but it’s great to see the majority of our sponsors signing on for next year considering these precarious financial times we find ourselves in. Say what you want about our on field performances, but the club seem to be doing a pretty damn good job off it.

He said other than half back he looking into forwards hoefully battye and yhen a back rower said we have enough backs esp if bishop agrees

Would be a great signing but it’s not really the area we are weak in imho.
I’d rather a HB and a prop or two.

I’m told the second row signing is almost done. Played in the NRL this year.

My worry is another second row means Tanginoa will be at prop!

Any more clues SC

I could tell you but i’d have to kill you!!

Comes with a good rugby pedigree though from a family member who played in both hemispheres.
