Hope he’s not like Fonou at Hull and more Big Les.

Agreed on the face of it, our squad for next year is looking as good as it has for fair few years.

I actually think Sezer and Austin will nail down the 6 and 7 positions, I like Austin and how he plays the game, I just think he's lost his way at Warrington a bit.

We've been crying out for some out and out pace, I think Fuitsa signing could be a fantastic one for us.

I agree mate.
I think Sezer and Austin start at 6 and 7.
Be interesting to see the squad numbers.
When do they get announced?

Great signing and fingers crossed he stays fit.
I reckon if the club does go 6 and 7 Sezer/Austin it shows intent to let Gale go.
Surely Austin will get the 14 shirt.
If we do let Gale go and an injury at HB we are back to playing Leeming there with Dwyer our 80 minute hooker

Yeh I think they'll give Sezer the 6 shirt and keep Gale with the 7.
But I think the combo of Sezer and Austin will be the main one at half back.
Johnson can cover HB as well if we get injuries. He did well there at York.

the only merit in letting Gale go is if someone offers to pay for him

Seen a lot of comments about his aerial threat and being a good finisher (uses the touch flag well). He looks like a great runner in space though with a good step too and appears to run good lines at great speed. He looks very comfortable at any of full back, winger and centre and could see him moving around dependent on who isn't playing well and/or injuries but suspect he will start at winger with Briscoe dropping out or moving to centre.

I suspect Gale, Sutcliffe, Myler and Dwyer will start the season (in the 17) but it could be Austin, Broadbent, Walker and Johnson who leapfrog them and finish the season.

Nobody is going to pay a fee for him - talk was Hull KR which would be result - he could be a blocker to changing the style of play. He plays one way and the team have to play that way to accommodate him.

What will happen if he doesn't get picked - another dummy spit?

Appreciate all the noise is Gale is staying but One additional hooker option next year is Bentley with dwyer off the bench.

Plus Johnson depending on how he is travelling.

Good signing if he stays fit.
Still would like to see us sign a big prop

Quality Strike Power something we have desperately lacking for quite some time. Really looking forward to next season and a top two or three finish and silverware is possible with these signings..big big improvement.
