Just been announced by Toronto Wolfpack on twitter that Jack Bussey will be joining them next season.

So where do we now stand in terms of recruitment:

Naiqama ---> Purtell
Macani ---> Grant
Foster
Soward
Slyney
Thackray ---> Spencer
Harrison ---> Pitts
Magrin ---> Gee

League Express suggested Craven and Channing for Fev.

Solid signings but not the quality to get us into SL.

We've got any number of full backs and full backs who can double up as wingers or centres (poorly IMO), so light in 3/4.

We need an excellent half back, centre and prop.

I wish Eagles all the best and hope they sort themselves out, but if they were to off load players maybe consider Thorpe and Wheeldon, and if he is pushed out at Leigh, why not Hock ?

Harrison is staying. Think Slyney is likely to return home and it would appear that Bussey has signed for Toronto Wolfpack.

A few more thoughts on ins and outs.

I thought Eliab was very good on Saturday hope he can do another year with us. It’s taken time but he looked strong, quick and put in a decent effort. Some talk in the paper of Channing returning, I would go Eliab over Channing any day.

Whisper is that we’ve signed a former Warrington / Bradford prop.

League Express explained that Eorl Crabtree and Ryan Brierley (who I am sure was at Salford on Saturday) are on the outer from Giants, and in my opinion, would be two very good signings, the former would be a cult hero, adding valuable experience and the latter a born finisher, with added versatility.

Hopefully tonight at the Sponsors Buffet we will find out more about plans for next year.

Big Eorl on his game would be awesome in the Championship.
When we played at Huddersfield though, he looked like a white KarL Pryce. Which is why he may be on the way out.
May be a year or two in London might be what he needs.

Agree, think Eliab hasnt been given the opportunities he deserved, maybe a good pre-season and he will do a good job. He is quick and strong, certainly something to offer!

Thought eliab had a really good game up in Salford shows what he can do
