If we are looking for a dominant forward I would love for us to go after Liam Watts. Massive fan of his and defiant lye worth a transfer fee.

I think Green at hull KR is better than watts. Green looks like he could be a very good prop.

After 2 years of consistently naming Hampshire on the bench, you must have realised it's not going to happen! Decent team other than that, but I think Lockers will go round again for one more season at least. The only area I'd be looking to improve is a genuine bench hooker who offers a completely different style to McIlorum.

Not claiming to be a prophet but I did the same thing with Sam Tomkins when the Coyle brothers were getting gametime and with Gelling when Hughes/Thornley were playing centre. That seemed to work out eventually!

It may not have happened and maybe it never will be Hampshire from the bench would offer us more impact and more options then having Sam Powell or Logan Tomkins in there would.

He eats up metres but he's loose in a lot of other aspects of his play. He's improved great though recently and you sense there's more to come.

A big off season and he could come on bundles.

Eloi Pelissier is being frozen out at Catalans, could be an option.

Wasn't he on trial at Wigan once? Would definitely take Pelissier.

Yeah, he played at centre according to a report I saw.

I love the reaction of opposing fans if we signed a little turd like him!!

I know she someone posted on another thread that there's an exciting hooker in the U19s.

If that's the case could someone like Nathan Friend be an option for 12 months? Always respected him as a player.
