Carlos quota place has gone, I defiantly move Sao on if possible, sign a domestic forward and sign a quota centre

Right. I obviously can’t count. Cheers

Now you don’t seem so proud

About having to be scrounging for your next meal

Maybe we're after a non quota half as abdul hasn't lost any weight yet

Hasn't he a clause that he needs to be at a goal weight come pre season?

Barron and Martin have to be first choice wings next season.
They have been the two standout younger players for me and have the frames to add a bit more body weight without losing pace
Briscoe can always fill in at centre if Walker leaves

There’s no chance Barron is a better winger than Briscoe. Briscoe is our best option getting out of our own 10, he’s the best at this since we lost Griffin. He’s strong and experienced and isn’t exactly a slouch even at his age. Barron is coming on, but Martin is also ahead.

Plenty of other SL clubs signing players well into their 30s. Catalans do it on the regular and Rovers not afraid to offer aging players a deal.

Catalans- Tommy Makinson, Elliott Whitehead, Luke Keary

Hudds - Tom Burgess

Rovers - Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Micky McIlorum, Rhyse Martin

Leeds - Ryan Hall

Saints - Kyle Feldt

There will always be some on here that try and make a case for the signing of any player
The next stage now will be im quite optimistic now for next season.
Wonder where we have heard that before
Put whatever spin on the clubs recruitment you want but its poor with no strategy.
Cust for example where will he play
Rapira coming as a full back or wing when we are equiped there unless has been said Walker is leaving.
Sezer a halfback who failed miserably whilst at Leeds yet is deemed good enough for Hull FC.
Chamberlain on a three year deal who may not make the squad
All hail Ritchie

Their will be others who whinge at everything too. All I've done is point out that plenty of other clubs recruit players aged 30 plus and no one bats an eyelid.
