Interesting, not the first time either. Generally we need to be active in the market this year so reckon there'll be plenty of links and rumours, and we have a track record for being proactive and getting business done early.
obviously back row a priority if Ellis and Mini retire, massive boots to fill.

Mini and Ellis are intriguing. Not sure how we could replace both at once. Was unsure about the signing of Mini originally, but he's been an amazing signing.
Widdop would be interesting. Always saw him back at Leeds, but maybe wouldn't fancy dropping down a division.

Widdop is poor. I used to rate him but it seems Cronk, Smith & Slater made him look better than he is. He should have stayed at full back too.

According to Widdop's management in LE no offers tabled or even expressed by SL clubs.

Not surprised he's average at best

I expect us to keep Kelly, so would be a pointless signing, I don't expect a lot of movement at Hull for 2018. Depends on what Ellis and Mini do.

I'd be quite tempted to make a bid for Briscoe as I think Leeds might be tempted to release him.

To replace who?

I'd rather we kept Kelly assuming his form holds for the season.

He offers something different which we need and I don't see the fuss regarding Widdop. Decent player but not worth the salary he would probably be looking for.
