With only 1 signing announced, looks like we still have some business to do for 2016. Current state of play I think is:

[uIns[/u

Taylor
NRL 2nd row
NRL Centre

[uOuts?[/u

Yeaman - OOC
Michaels - OOC
Sa - OOC
HTW - OOC
Paea - NRL
BTW - OOC
Feka - OOC
Cunningham - OOC
Rankin - OOC
Howarth - OOC

Have I missed any? Not a massive amount of salary cap thee I wouldn't have thought (other than paea who's cap I presume we still have to spend as we made the 3 signings believing he was staying) so maybe more to leave who are not OOC. Lineham?

Where do we need strengthening? With Sa, Michaels and Yeaman all OOC and only 1 centre reportedly coming in I presume at least one of those 3 will be retained

Depending on injury/medical status I'd prioritise Sa of the centres and if he's going to play back row we need another in addition to the rumoured NRL one, too early for Logan next year. Of the others I'd keep the TWs.

Just because signings haven't been announced doesn't mean they haven't been made. PR timing is a major factor in announcement timing.

No way? Didn;t realise that.

Agree about sa but can see him going and yeaman staying

We've failed to prioritise centre for years. Hope the NRL player has some size and experience. Yeaman has had a fantastic career but whether he's a first choice SL centre for 2016 is certainly debatable.

Isn't Rankin ooc too?

I saw somewhere (i think on Virtual Terrace) that Sa was already gone to Rugby Union for 2016, but if so passed me by.............

I don't think its debatable at all. We all know the answer.

Sa offers so much more than Yeaman; the only question mark over him is his injury record.

Is Feka off contract? m.hulldailymail.co.uk/Scott-Tayl ... story.html Taylor's arrival means Radford will be well stocked in the front row for next year, with Iafeta Paleaaesina, Liam Watts and Chris Green all under contract.

Think if tonight and magic go badly we could see a few announcements.

I don't see why that follows? We announced the Taylor signing in the week after a good win.

I didnt think Sa had a great experience with Union last time which is why he came to Hull and back to league so would be disappointed to see him go unless we have asuitable replacement coming in.

Yeaman for me is now only a bit part player and not what we need in a first choice centre if we want to progress.

The Tyson-Wilsons I'd resign and probably Cunningham but not too bothered about the others. Feka again is ok if the price is right as does not offer enough due to still only doing very limited minutes, only other question mark is Rankin.

I'd like to think we will replace Paea with a like for like replacement at the very least and possibly a new quality centre.

I think that was a tactical move with the Paea announcement on the same day.

Or alternatively if you win tonight and win at magic (God as a rovers fan I hope not) then you will be flying and a announcement of a top signing will have the fans flying through the turnstiles

I reckon signings are Pritchard and Inu.

Sa has to play games n is then automatically offered a new deal I think. So someone told me.

I can see something in the Pritchard rumour. Was some hints a while ago on social media when bantering with tuli motu n Sa
Totally my own guess work but if we was in for a centre I'd guess Matai could be a shout. About the right time to come over if he is & he'll know motu personally.
A prop would be on the radar with Paea off
I saw a story in oz press about Galloway maybe coming over here and 2 SL teams being interested. Maybe us? Good buds with Ellis from west's times.

It's an absolute must that we tie down HTW, his brother wouldn't be such a big loss imo, but would still be disappointed if he left. I'd also offer Cunningham a new deal, but Radford doesn't seem to be his biggest fan, so who knows?

Sa only has a question mark over him because of his injuries. On playing ability he'd get a gig almost anywhere, either at centre or back row. His return has been a big part of our revival from what I've seen. Hope he gets an offer, but I could understand if we pass on him should someone else come knocking. He is terribly injury prone.

The rest should be released.

True, I still reckon a loss would mean an announcement on Saturday morning whereas a win would probably mean it's mid week.

midweek it is then

Yeah I would go with all of this.

Would deffo sign Rankin but reckon he is going

I think (although not sure the right decision) Cunningham will be released.

I suspect HTW is also going. But I really hope not

Re-signed with Manly I believe. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hodges come over now he's retired from Aus duty

Injuries would be a concern, but if could stay fit, yes please!

I would like Rankin to stay but it depends if he gets offered anything in the NRL. He may prefer to play SL here than reserve grade there.

If Cunningham is released we need another hooker and there are not many good ones about.

To release HTW would go against everything Pearson and Radford say they are trying to build. He hasn't really had a chance yet and he can't be paid much. Pryce won't be around forever and we need to plan to replace him.

hope we dont let cunningham go, the kids not had a chance and when he has come on as sub hasnt done to bad,

Howath holding him back?
