Versatile and certainly an upgrade on Hurrell on form. Hopefully good to see the new halves combination have a good finisher at last.

Agreed, hope you’re well Seth.

Broadbent has that intercept in his game, if you want to pass flat across the line with him in D you’ve got to nail it or he’s away.

Tindall is quicker than Jack I think, wouldn’t be too many catch him in open space.

Agree with comments re. availability of props now. I’m disappointed we couldn’t find someone, but I’m glad we haven’t gone for a makeweight again. We could have a significant amount of cap and more than one quota spot free for the end of next season.

I feel the club is going in the right direction now after some panic buys.

We’ve recruited very very well. Just missing that one prop but they don’t need to rush

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sun Oct 17, 2021 11:28 pm  

If Fustiui can stay fit he should be a very good signing.He covers several positions and is an up grade of our wing options.It will be interesting whether he plays wing or centre.
We still need a prop but doubt we are now going to get a decent one so maybe best go with what we have.
Prior
Oledzki
Tetevano
Holroyd
Thompson(can do job when needed will surely be replaced next season)
Muizz( not big for mine but may have some impact off the bench)

Think you're right mate.
We need another prop, but looks like availability over here is a problem.
I think the club will go with Thompson as the fifth prop and look to upgrade on him in 2023.
And Muizz will probably get some minutes too.
Just hope we can keep the main 4 fit.

Interesting to see where Fusitua fits in.
Does he go straight on the wing and either Handley or Briscoe misses out?
Does he go full back and Myler misses out?
Does he go left centre and Sutcliffe stays as utility?
But he definitely starts, that's for sure!

I think he plays on the wing outside Newman, Sutcliffe and Handley the other side. Briscoe as back up wing and can also play centre, however we have Broadbent, Edwards and even Austin who could cover Centre as well.

We rarely have a fully fit side, something we have learned this year is we need ample cover for every position, But if everyone is fit Briscoe misses out, whether he wants to be back up is up to him, out of contract next year, he may choose to look for a 2-3 year deal and starting spot elsewhere.

If Briscoe is offered a new deal that it will be on reduced terms so i would think there's a good chance he'll move on.I knew we had a lot off contract come the end of 2022 but didnt realise it was 14 players!
