He should easily get another contract in the NRL (Not Shaul), probably go back to the Storm.

If we are signing someone for this season, might need to move fast Warrington about to release/sack, so will have another quota spot to fill.

Cant see us signing somebody, at best we may sign somebody in the latter stages should we suffer injuries and have a chance of being in the 6. Other then that now we appear to be safe I reckon we will go with what we got. If we are not going to win anything which appears highly likely that we wont then no point spending for the sake of it. Reckon Smith would rather mould some youngsters.

Not bothered about Nofoaluma. He's good out of yardage but has had question marks over his attitude, plus he'd use a quota spot.

Behave he'd walk in every super league team and would be a class above

As someone else said he won't be short of offers in nrl anyway

Would agree, TS has said a few times now that they are looking and are always looking but he isn't just going to bring someone in short term for the sake of it and if anyone were to come in this season it would also be with next year in mind. So sounds very much like there is and has been a real plan of action in terms of recruitment/retention which they aren't going to deviate from.

Think the fact our current crop of players seem to have turned a corner for the better helps us in not feeling the need to 'panic buy' mid-season if you'd like, i feel if we was still struggling like we was around easter time we would have seen some changes. Think it is still worth been weary of what our current squad can be capable of like the seven game losing streak. Improvements made? absolutely, forgiven and forgotten? not quite yet for me.

I think we all hide behind the seats when we go 6 or 12 nil down at the moment!

Wakefield obviously going down. Will a player like Reece Lynne become available?

He's a Hull lad who started here. Now matured into a good Super league three-quarter. I think he'd offer us a bit more than Mcintosh.

With Carlos getting more injury prone in his latter years I think Lynne could be a useful signing that could play wing or centre.

Hasn’t had a good game for a couple of seasons according to their fans.

Injured so far this.

Stay well clear.

Would be a terrible signing.
