Fair point, but surely better than the Halifax player, some have mentioned. I liked him, when he got in at Newcastle, he is a good kicker, too, and at 29, he's not a young player and could handle the pressure.

If he was an English player then yes, but would beca shocking use of our last quota spot, wouldn't get into our strongest 17 when all fit, be like Lovodua again.

Just been sent a message, says we after thinking of making an offer for Bailey Hodgson, wouldn't suprise me with his Hull connections

Bentley signed a new deal at Leeds, shame, but reckon we wouldn't pay the wages he wanted.

And maybe the club don’t want to commit to a multi year deal for a half back, if they have one eye on Clifford returning.

This is my take on the situation as well.
No NRL 7 , will come to SL on a 12 month contract, because
IF we signed a overseas 7 , on a 2 year deal, that would obviously end any hope of re-signing Clifford.
Also, there maybe is a better choice of 7s next year.
Also Tuimavave and Hoy are off contract next season, maybe a 7 & 9 are being lined up .

I thought that when the HDM article appeared today. Would have thought he'd merit a conversation, but he plays centre, doesn't he? Young and English backs must be worth a look , especially with his dad's Hull connection, you'd think.
Shame about Bentley, he'd have been an excellent addition to the pack and would have been a definite upgrade.

Walker has signed for 2024 Wonder if Walker is seen as our FB for next season and Hoy goes in to the halves leaving to door open for possibility of Clifford returning at some point?

Did not see jack walker signing coming, quite pleased with it....overseas 9?

Re: Shopping list for 2024 : Thu Sep 07, 2023 1:51 pm  

Happy with that, good player, proved that at Rovers, has injury issues but we have Litten as back up.

Puts the last quota spot on a FB to bed too, hopefully get a decent 7 (Probably someone like Watson who can play 9 too.)
