Hastings off to Wigan. We've signed 2 HBs already.

I reckon we'll at least make a play for Hastings. If we go for a British signing, who would you want and why? I'm genuinely asking - I think we've got so many holes across the squad (potentially more if Parcell goes) that its hard to know where to start. My gut feel is first priority should be as good a prop as we can get, and an impact second row. But who are the English options?

Love us to make a good offer for Mcgilvary or Greg Eden, or someone like Chris Hill, Mike Mcmeeken.Surely we can tempt someone of that ilk. And the reason I'd like a big British signing is that they will be more chance of them staying a good few years like JP did.

Not British but Junior Moors would be a good move also

Wouldn't like us to waste money on a winger tbh. Much prefer if if we signed a forward. Although I think McMeeken is absolutely sh-te

Mcmeekan looked good last year but looks a bit average this year, Greg eden is poop and body can look could playing on the Cas left edge

Eden isn't poop. Not great, but better than we have.

If we were looking for a winger and a big improvement, and spend money on our rivals, then Manfredi would be the man. Best winger in the comp before his injury, and if he can get that back, what a signing he would be.

Or Tom Johnstone.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Sep 12, 2018 11:36 am  

I'd go for Darnell McCintosh from Hudds. Manfredi hasn't played for 2 years, that'd be a huge gamble.

I agree forwards are the priority but the loss of Hall is huge both in terms of a game winner and the extra go forward he gives us. Don't underestimate a class winger.

I'd be tempted to look at putting some serious money on the table for Johnstone, Tupou and Ashurst. All very capable players in positions we are weak in and Trin are hardly rolling in cash.
