This may be a bit out there but.............. so they could sign the contract?

Maybe it would be a bit more dramatic than announcing new signings in front of Platt Bridge Job Centre.

I can't see us stopping at the Taylor signing if that comes off simply because we look very thin in the backs and we've let players that would have been ideal back up in Marsh and Mellor leave the club.

Hand on heart I think we'll see at least one prop come in (probably Taylor) and possibly two and I can't see us not signing another outside back now that Russell has followed those 2 that have been allowed to leave through the door.

Shame Crocker can't get a visa

He'd be an excellent squad player and leader for a season.

Russell Packer would be a nice addition to our front row, or Poore if he can remain fit and get back to what he once was.

Travis Waddell has always impressed me he's a good little hooker and would be a strong addition to any super league side.

Anthony Quinn is a seasoned professional has state of origin experience and has been big part of a great Melbourne side, if we where struggling for winger he's definitely be worth a punt but we aren't.

Russell Packer has mentioned above has great potential if he get's his conditioning sorted.

Jaiman Lowe has finished at the Storm to head back to Queensland. He’s going to work in the mines. He could be worth trying to tempt out of retirement.

Waddell defo. Pretty surprised his not been signed up already. Would offer a different style of 9 to McM, still in his early 20s as well.
