Update on transfer market. They’re trying. Could be waiting some time though for a prop. Sounds like Ava’s decision was quite late in the day. https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/ ... ar-3089999

I can see us going with what we've got until season starts and we will continue to look for a middle man during the season is a bit of a risk just going with Oldezki, Prior, Tetevano & Holroyd because we all know injuries are part and parcel of our sport but there's also the risk of players possibly coming down with covid when season starts especially if the countries cases haven't rapidly lowered by March/ April when season starts and player may have to isolate we had it when 2020 season resumed track and trace forcing players to be missing we'd be stuffed if we had 2 or 3 of Oldezki, Prior, Tetevano & Holroyd missing at one time ( hopefully we don't). But sounds like Thompson will be our 5th prop and Donaldson and even Cam Smith will fill in at prop if they are needed too.

Yeah agree and good point re covid. It could cause problems in March still. In fact it’s certain. I’d like to see season pushed back to end of March at least personally.

It does sound like we've got a couple of irons in the fire though.

I’m going Harrison back from fev and one overseas who might already have been in the comp last year

Gavet?

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:28 am  

We have enough to put a team out and start the season and Tetevano is a great signing.
But unfortunately we are being left behind by the others who are doing good business early.
Saints, Wigan and Wire miles ahead.
Then Catalans and probably Huddersfield.
I think we’re in a battle for 6-8 with Cas and Hull.
At best unfortunately.
And without any injuries.
A few injuries and we are battling with Salford and KR.

Not sure why wire are so far ahead of us.I understand huddersfield have improved but they still dont look that amazing to me.

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V3 : Sat Jan 09, 2021 11:50 am  

I think Wire are deffo top 3.
Really hope I’m wrong.
But we’ve essentially let 2 front line overseas first 17 props leave and replaced them with one.
No matter how good Tetevano is, that’s a backwards step.
Tommy is a great prospect, but he’s now thrust into the frontline 17 every week at age 19!
Replacing Ava with similar is an absolute must for me.
Maybe the likes of Gavet could work.

Ava leaving has undoubtedly thrown a massive spanner in the works.
