See Cas are splashing the cash again.

With the Fifita signing dead in the water it will be interesting to see who we can bring in. Obviously as stated before we will really struggle to attract players for next year due to our poor position at the minute and with it been up in the air who will be coaching us.

Just read Hull Live which stated several NRL players been offered to SL including 6 foot 3 17 stone prop Kaide Ellis who is ex Penrith and with Dragons until the end of the season….wonder if he’s being considered by Trinity?

Well we have the space and I assume some cash so I suppose we could sign them now if we wanted. It’s probably our only advantage.

Or we could wait and see if the WC throws up a gem.

Cas have confirmed that Holmes and Mata’utia have both opted not to renew their contracts.

I’d imagine Holmes to Warrington and Mata’utia to link up with his brother at Saints but would take either of them!

Think I read Lewis Bienek is OOC, burst onto the scene a few years back and looked a real propect but opportunities at Hull and Cas this year seem to have been limited.

Could be a typical Trinity signing.

He's a big useless lump and very lazy, apparently.

I'd rather go with our own products.

Fair enough, there must be a reason why he's not kicked on.

And who will Mata'utia push out at saints can't see that to be honest.

No chance Mata’utia ends up at Saints, unless they are after a new water boy, he just isn`t the calibre of player they go for, unless they are desperate which I don`t think they are.

You never know. Heard that Naiqama maybe leaving at the end of this season, and I don’t think anyone expected LMS to end up there either.

No but LMS came as a project.
Replacing the starting centre at Saints is never a project.

They'll either promote a rising star from within or go big from Oz.

Holmes & Mata’utia are both following Powell to Warrington.

To be honest vaste from what I’ve seen so far of both brother I’d say Peter is the better player out of the pair of them .Sione to be fair looks to be more of a sub than a starter ,so doesn’t get as much game time .

It’s all quiet on targets at the moment but here’s one maybe worth a look.

Adam Lawton - big second rower at Widnes. Scoring some try’s and is in his prime years. Can play SR and prop.

Probably wouldn’t break the bank but he’s 6ft 6 and seems to be hitting some form.

The new Wayne McDonald ???

That's a name from the past, FIL. A big lad (6ft 7in), but never quite made it at Trin. According to Wikipedia the tallest player ever to play rugby league. I thought that he payed a lot more than 27 games for us.

He’s played some SL before but he’s hitting his best years and the highlights look impressive this season. He seems to have an offload in him too.

I’m not saying he will be a superstar but he could certainly be worth a chance on his current form. He’s only signed a 1 yr deal at Widnes. Probably one of the best forward options in the championship.

I would suggest we sort out our out of contract players first because they are currently free to talk to other clubs.

We should be both talking to “some” of the OOC trinity players and looking for new signings. I don’t believe it is a case of one or the other scarlet.

While there’s still time to earn deals for next year In my opinion only a handful presently have earned a new deal.

Recruitment and retention should be given some kind of priority.
I would like to think that conversation s take place on a daily basis.
Cash will need to be made available and who gets to spend it.

So how are we looking for potential signings??

Rumoured..

Lee Gaskell
Adam Sidlow

Is there any other rumours of interest flying around?

It does seem there’s somewhat a shortage of quality props around but what about Akuola from Wire? Think he’s out of contract and always seems to have a good game against us. Certainly got some big impact.

I was thinking we could look at Powell from Wigan but he was poor yesterday and not sure he’s what we need.

Liam Hood seems like he could be a good option for us.

Adam Lawton seems to be the on form forward still in the Championship and has a huge frame.

Not sure what else is out there that could be potential good signings for 2022 and beyond.

The hooker at the dragons not agreed a contract and offered to SL clubs. He's played quite a few games and a regular on the bench.

I like the look of james bell at leigh to replace westerman wouldnt cos the earth to bring him over
