Pretty much agree,not sure if Craven has been brought in to cover halfback or fullback.

I've heard G.Moore to Toronto so we would maybe need to replace both him and Murrell for next season.

We also need at least 2 quality centres, a winger and a prop.

Apparently we are after Greg Worthington who would be a good signing.

G moore was rm best signing.i would keep heaton to cover second row.why is murrell leaving?Worthington is not the quickest centre according to Leigh's forum.

I think Scott is great and controls the game like no other player we have however his speed really lets him down. A permanent move to 13 is where I see him but who knows.

Also - Can't see Miles being at the club next year but would be more than happy with Saltonstall at fullback.

2 have signed from Leigh think johno may be off.

Gaz more is staying so looks like craven to full back but he also plays centre

I would go for a fullback, only because I would have Moore and Johnston at half back. Craven signing not definite yet but I would guess long term he would be to replace Murrell. Murrell has to be in the team somewhere for me just not at half back. Hooker or 13 I would be happy with. Wingers are not really going to mater unless we sign a wingers centre so I would stick with the few we have. Grady strengthens us at Centre and should keep Heaton and Tyrer on their toes. No problems at the back of our pack and happy with Kaye and Moore at hooker so a big nasty prop is a must for me as our pack is far too nice. God knows what happened to the best pack in the league from last year, we look really soft this season.

The problem we have for the coming season is fev are going to be splashing the cash again so Im not sure if we can compete with the money they are willing to risk so it was bad for us them making the top 4 as they would be a broken club next season if they didnt and we are not competing with the full time teams for players just teams like Fev, Batley and Dewsbury 2 of which ended up with a lot of money to spend.

Yes a big prop and Mitch back to form.
Grady will add some size in the centres with medium pace.
In addition to what has been posted I'm hearing Craven may be at Fax but could be heading to London.

Yep pretty much agree with that. We need some pace in the backs though as the better teams skin us there everytime.
A centre that can draw a man and pass would be great. Need some grunt up front. Losing likes of Tonks,Bracek and Richard Moore has left us with a soft underbelly I'm afraid.
Hope we keep Johno and Gaz Moore.
Time will tell.

A pivot with pace- think Craven would be a good signing
A centre- Grady is a solid player (liked him from his Widnes days)
A prop- Boyle been ok but doesn't put enough minutes in.
Second row- Not replaced Divorty down the right. Not sure Sarsfield is the answer (heard he is off to Toronto in any case).
