So that will open 2 quota spots then, I imagine they will be filled with a fullback and hopefully a centre but I’ve got a sneaky feeling they will look for another forward

If another forward…maybe a 2nd rower but we could have 4 with Cartwright,Holmes,Lane and staveley.Another centre would make sense with Hardacker and Chamberlain with only Dawson as back up and Litten.

I suppose full back depends on Walker, centre is the main one, but yeah could do with another forward too, was hoping Whitehead might happen, but gone too quiet.

Surely Lane isn’t good enough for a spot
Please

Luke Keary is an unbelievable signing for Catalans.

They do pull a big signing out of the bag don’t they…just a pity when McNamara gets hold of them.
