Shame was hoping Tony could give him a croggy to training and games

Really pleased with Soa signing and will help in resigning Sataee which I think is vital. Dont think we need any wingers but if we do Tindall from Leeds and Kershaw from Wakey could come relatively cheap. Props come 2nd rowers which are our must signings Jai Whitbread Keloi Tanginua,Langi and maybe Jay Pitts. Hope we have got over whatever was causing the problems this season and finish with a bang. Inspite of whats happened I think we stared the season with a bloody good squad and I was expecting at least top 6 and even top 4 (maybe dreaming)

Agree about the wingers, we could do with one, but not a priority

No way should be using a quota spot on Langi, if we keep Satae and Sao, that leaves us with only two non fed spots, I'd hope for better than Whitbread, Tanginoa is a good player, but seems very injury prone. Pitts is very average.

Me too, but signing a backrower would make more sense than a Centre, unless Carlos would move to the backrow.

Real shame it looks like we are losing Savelio IMO.

Ben Currie is OOC but he's not the style of back row we need.

I'd have Currie, but not a chance he would come here.

Might be reading too much into this, but saw Balmforth change his profile pick into Hull one last night, hope that means he has signed a new deal.

Can see Luis Johnson coming over. Smith got the best out of him at Rovers. We'd still have a big Manu Ma'u shaped hole in the SR though. Which could be solved with Frizell

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Fri Apr 28, 2023 7:19 am  

Not overwhelmed with the SKD rumours as he will be 36 when next season starts, but he is a very experienced leader which might be what Tony is prioritising.
