Very good player and the fact that he plays regular in the NRL and is at a good age shows how good a recruit is.

Just worry about the balance, seem to be heavy on props, including 3 quota props, leaving us light in the backrow.

Ashworth is a gamble as hardly played there.

Rather have Allick than Blore as he looks and sounds like a Willie Manu type player.

Need another backrower, would love Mcmeeken, but also happy with Bentley which seems to hard gone quiet.

Be intresting where they use the last quota spot, half or hooker.

Could have sworn Ashworth’s squad number is 11 and plays second row for Wakey

Ackers is the one, but doubt we would have the money for a fee that Salford would want.

What about McShane if Cas went down, worth a season?

Still a class act at nine and still has a bit of pace to his running game and even at 33 worth a punt for a season

Good question I would perhaps suspect that the Club hasn't leaked it at all as I was told that often in these circumstances the news comes from the agents network or even more likely from the Clubs that have missed out and have been told where a player they were after has ended up.The press are always tapped into both sources.

i said last week that if HKR win at Wembley then to expect a flurry of news so this was probably kept under wraps until today.
Not a flurry but good news which i expect has come from the club to HDM

Ashworth is supposed to be a second row but cant understand if he is not injured why he cant force his way into Huddersfields squad.
Dont like the idea of a player who has given up at his club knowing he is moving on particularly when they have lost Trout for the season and Jones due to injury

I think 7 is more important than 9, probably easier to sign a domestic SL quality hooker than a 7 and you also have Houghton, who has a new lease of life under Smith.

I'd like to see Balmforth get some minutes before this season is finished at the expense oof Dwyer.

Looks like an announcement tonight, the club just sent out a dolphin to black and white tweet

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Mon Aug 14, 2023 4:54 pm  

Would love us to sign Bentley then we'd be looking quite formidable
