You beat me to it:



Glad to hear they're prioritising the right positions. Also, is there a hint there that Aspinwall may not be kept on, or is he now seen as a prop option?

Still can't see us getting Finch or Chase. Only half I can see in SL is Holdsworth. Either him or someone from NRL. Still think we will get Johnson and Watts along with Crookes and maybe a NRL prop, Galloway/Kite.

Maybe but he mentions Green so hopefully he's done enough to be kept on.

I could take or leave Aspinwall, looked pretty good, but has had a few knocks and we have a few young players coming through in that area. the backrow looks pretty good with a mix of experience and youth.

Ellis
Tickle
Westerman
Whiting
Pitts
Kent

Also Pearce and Cunningham OOC,

From what I hear Lewis Brown could be next one to make the step up also.

Turns out Watts isn't ooc and I dont see what Johnson will bring, he's gone backwards.

Holdsworth would be much better with a more dominant pack also.

Anyone heard anything more about Walmsley from Batley, last I read we were the favorites to sign him.

Be suprised if Watts is at Rovers next year, contract or not.

Agree on Johnson.

We should be targetting one of the 3 Bradford props, OOC Manuokafoa and Burgess (although looking like he is going to the NRL) and pay fee for Kopczak.

We can get better value than Manuokafoa, I can see Gentle staying away from the Polynesian impact player.

Only issue with Holdsworth is whether or not he is the right partner for Seymour. I think Seymour needs more of a runner personally. Not heard anymore on Walmsley, last I heard was Hull and Leeds both looking.

We need more than one ball handler in the side, we'll have a runner at fb.

Agree with that, Seymour needs partnering with someone who is a runner IMO

TBF to Johnson, consider who his coach now is. How many of our players went backwards?

a runner, thought Horne was goimng to fb?

am i wrong or didnt Gentle say that himself??

Don't know if its been mentioned but the Chase wanting away rumour seems to be correct as his agent has been sounding out other clubs.

Cas are not willing to make it easy for him though they want 1/2 mill for him.

I'd stop at £100k

Totally, can't see anybody touching him at 1/2 mill and if the player wants to leave they'd be stupid to dig their heels in on the asking price.

They aren't going to get that for him and they know it. However I would be disappointed if we didn't explore any and every opportunity to get him on board.

nobody would pay £1/2m for golden boy Tomkins, and he's not a bad lad like Chase (supposedly) is.

Didn't we pay over that for Westerman?

that was the figure banded around, don't think anyone other than club people really know.

Was close to the clubs biggest fee, which was £250,000? I'm sure it wasn't that much for Westy, but if it was I'd say Chase warrants a bit more then £100k, being the current MoS and having a fair few years left on his deal?

not if he wants away, he's hardly captured the form of last season thus far this, either.

I would say to sign the current Man of Steel for £100k is a very good deal for us.

Given their situation squad wise maybe throw sharp or ellis and Omeley at them plus a couple of quid then jobs a gud un
