This is why Peats is surplus to requirements at Huddersfield!
This is the type of player we need !

Exactly. Someone with speed around the ruck.

Levi would've been great for us, but were coming to the party late. Hudds had him, Lolohea and Fages signed early.

We're playing catch up, but hopefully we can get somethings sorted out soon.

2 props, hooker and a half plus a few more would be ideal.

I wouldn't renew Ma'u, his wage plus overseas spot would give us some more wiggle room, throw in Fonua and it looks even better.

We can tweak the squad this off season, then go into 22/23 with a bucket load of cap space.

Ins: Wardle, Scurr, NFT Prop, Peats, Lovodua, Hampshire, McIntosh

Outs: Bowden, Masi, Ma'u, Fonua, JJ, Faraimo

Just me meandering, but with our recent linking up with the Whitehaven club, they have an Aussie winger full back, Lachclan Walmsley, who has apparently signed for a Super league club, a swap for Bureta maybe.

Oh ok, I read he’d signed for a super League club, just putting 2+2 and coming up with five,

I be fuming if we signed an overseas winger.

Think we are Ok for wingers, have 2 very good wingers coming through too.

I did see that some SL were sniffing around him, but like Dave K said, we don't need to be wasting Quota spots on a champ winger.

Mcintosh and Swift are good enough. Throw in Wynne, Shaul, Mitch plus some academy boys it would be a waste of a spot.

Actually his preferred position is full back, “he said” but he can cover the outside backs as well, but it was only thinking out loud, as we have forged links with the Whitehaven club.

Who knows what the mysterious recruitment lies ahead for us, I think we pretty much all agree a few speedsters wouldn’t go amiss.

Can only see us signing a 9 and a prop to fill our quota spots, that’s assuming we manage to offload Fonua, otherwise it will be a prop only
