Shaul considering retiring at the end of 2023 season according to totalrl. To go bricklaying full time.

Just get the feeling he's hanging around go get his testimonial money (which he's entitled to do) then leave. Seems a massive waste of cap space for us

Rumours on the Leeds board that Sam Walters could be on the way out. He was a highly regarded SR but has played more recently at prop. I'd imagine we'd want someone more experienced though.

Also someone mentioned Leeds offered us a transfer fee for Griffin. We'd have snapped their hands off if that was the case

Maybe it was us paying the transfer fee?

We are interested in a SR from Bradford called AJ Wallace according to HDM.

He's had a good season in the Championship by all accounts. Still sounds like we'll have to get rid of one of the plodders though

We need a second row with some size and power.
We currently have too many small forwards.
People on here said Longstaff was too small but is taller and about the same weight as this guy

Bateman, Farrell and Smithies are 'small' but they are one of the best backrows in the comp. They back plenty of punch and eat metres for fun.

Would rather see Carlos given a run there but Griffin is done as a centre so second row is his only option now at the club.
If he ups his workrate and changes his lazy attitude he has he size to play second row.If Tony Smith can do that then i can accept giving him a chance in the second row.
That said if the rumour of his spat with Hodgson are true then in my opinion he should no longer be at the club.
