Marquee signings please.

Cator, hoy, carlos, houghton, and try and move lane on.gives us some good cap to work with.

Bring in a hooker to compliment balmforth.

An organising halfback with a kicking game.

Either a loose forward or a second row then play sao loose forward, rather than fash.

Bullock maybe on a 1 year deal depending how he goes.

Were owed some.marquee level.signings now imo.

The fans have been more than loyal, and theres been alot of income.to the club

I'd be keeping an eye on Will Pryce at Newcastle. I'm not convinced he'll crack the NRL but he's an English half who could be available in the next 12/24 months

Lol I suppose if we kidnapped Leon and threatened him with sleeping with the fishes, we could get Will, but I’m afraid with the royal bank of AP exasperated we’ve more chance getting Vincent.

I'd definitely keep Litten, and probably Barron, won't be on hardly anything salary cap wise, both offer decent bank up and shouldn't be written off yet.

I’m sure we will be doing our due diligence and scouting the NSW & Q Cup with the change to visa rules…….

From SL a player I’d like to see us go for is Ben Davies from Saints

Barring his try vs Toulouse, yet to see anything in Barron. Looks a liability every time he’s under a high ball. Litten although he started bright with bags of enthusiasm, he looks too light, can’t defend and doesn’t have the passing game to be a full back. Just don’t see anything them ever being SL standard.

The main question for recruitment for next season is Pearson skint??…A few on here are saying effectively that he is but how do they know or is it a case of us being penny wise this season or him admit that the Covid loan has bit us harder than he thought and before anybody says other clubs had the loan…a few of the clubs owners are wealthier than AP so they rode it out better.Just be interesting to see other people’s thoughts on it and prepared for the usual arsey remarks off som.
