With potentially Ferres, JJB, Ablett and Donaldson leaving, that would leave us four 2nd rows down on this year, which has been a disaster season. I’d say signing a 2nd rower would be a good idea.

We've already signed Mellor, dont forget.
When everyones fit our back row, I think, would be Ward, Martin and Merrin + Mellor for next year. We have Cam Smith for another year, and Sutcliffe seems to be picked every week.
We definitely could do with an upgrade somewhere, but we've also got Trout, Mustapha, Alex Sutcliffe, McConnell and Walters who are coming through and arent getting games yet.
We seem big on numbers and low on quality

JJB and ablett out would make zero difference except to free up cap for someone who might play more than a handful of games.

When was the last time everyone was fit?
Liam Sutcliffe and Cam Smith have been playing most weeks this year and we’re joint bottom of the league, we need more strength in the back row than the players you’ve mentioned otherwise we are 1 injury away from looking weak.

Before Trout, Mustapha, Alex Sutcliffe, McConnell and Walters come into the first team they should be playing at Fev for a year, Super League is a big leap from the 19’s

Aye. Penrith have confirmed Maloney is leaving for SL on a 3 year deal - but where is he signing?

It looks like Catalan have won his signature.

99.9% its Catalan. Mega bucks deal apparently which is why we cant do it unless 3 marquee rule brought in. God help us if Myler is still our 7 next year...

am I the only one happy to miss out on him? top player yes but he eats up a huge amount of cap and he is no spring chicken

Re: Transfer Talk / Rumour Thread V2 : Wed Jul 24, 2019 5:26 am  

Yeah that's a fair point Tad. We could be better with someone like Sezer etc IF hes available

Why would you choose Leeds over the South Of France? We would have been stupid to try and win him, 3 year deal at 33? Happy for him, but 1 injury at that ages could define his next 3 years and then be a waste and we end up with Sutty in the halves again or Myler. I still think Gale is coming and now we might bid for Burgess.

Fantastic signing for Catalan
