So, going off confirmed signings and rumoured departures, we're looking at...

1. New fullback (hopefully not McDonnell as I don't rate him!)
2. New winger (Crookes apparently)
3. Joe Arundel
4. Kirk Yeaman
5. Tom Briscoe
6. Brett Seymour
7. New half back (hopefully Brough, but doubt it!)
8. New prop (rumoured Olivier Elima, wouldn't be a bad signing)
9. Danny Houghton
10. Andy Lynch
11. Gareth Ellis
12. Joe Westerman
13. Richard Whiting

14. Adam Heremaia
15. Liam Watts
16. New prop (NRL impact prop, although people are thinking Paea)
17. Either a back rower or a utility back (Horne).

Depending on the signings, there's definitely the nucleus of a good team there. If Tickle does go, I hope they give Whiting a shot at loose finally. He deserves it after all these years.

1. McDonnell
2. Crookes
3. Arundel
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Holdsworth
7. Seymour
8. Lynch
9. Heremaia
10. Kite*
11. Tickle
12. Ellis
13. Westerman

14. Houghton
15. Whiting
16. Paea
17. Watts

18. Horne
19. ?
20. Lineham
21. Crooks
22. Briscoe Jack
23. Nicklas
24. ?
25. Bowden
26. Cunningham James
27. Green
28. Pitts
29. Kent
30. ?

*I can't see Kite coming but I think we'll sign that style of player.
? Young good players to cover key postions, could be from our own academy or we could move for other players (Brieley?)

1. McDonnell
2. Crookes
3. Arundel
4. Yeaman
5. Briscoe
6. Seymour
7. Brough
8. Lynch
9. Heremaia

11. Elima
12. Ellis
13. Westerman

14. Houghton
15. Whiting
16. Paea
17. Watts

I would be happy with that team, I think McDonnell would be a decent signing tbh, it is his first year in SL and like a few who play pivotal positions it can take a season for them to settle, his stats are very promising tbf. Also he would not be commanding top dollar so we could concentrate on throwing the big money at a new h/back, and like you say Brough hopefully

So Sharp? Have I missed some announcement?

So Sharp? Have I missed some announcement?

Holdsworth and brough for our new half back pairing next year??!!

Not really, he's ooc and were heavily linked with Crookes.

They're were rumours that Seymour was off at the end pf the year.

Now that would be good!

Ellis?

Yea been told gentle is looking to move seymore on and that's the partnership we want!!

Adam Heremaia?

Not doubting your info but imo Seymour is a better player than Holdsworth.

It could be financial.

Id rather have seymour aswell

I was told a month or so back that Sharp has been told he won't be required from next season.

Me three,I think seymore and brough would be a very good partnership,we'll see what happens

would love brough but cant see it they want a kings ransom for him.

Was thinking that myself when we've been linked with them both , because they was rumours on here a while ago about Seymour wanting out .

Thought was more Hull wanting him out

Just cant see Brough coming.

I wouldn't be to sure.

to much cash wanted

Do a deal including Tickle. He isn't signing a new contract, he wants away. So what is the point of keeping him for next season only for him to leave for free at the end of it. Their is a deal to be done if the club's put their heads together. IMO of course.

Well if we sell Tickle to Widnes for what is rumoured a large sum, we may have the cash available to bring him in. Not that I want us to offload Tickle, but Brough is far more needed.
