I'm not a big wilkin fan as most know on here and I would never in million years give him a 4yd deal.

Im not sure on watts tho, if he can't get a game at hull KR then he's not good enough for us and I don't think Jon would go.

With the signing of manu who will play alongside sia in the backrow means wilkin will be fighting for the 13 spot with flanaghan, so maybe he will book his ideas up.

I wouldn't swap them.

If hull kr can't afford shenton wage doubt they afford Wilkins he must be on par with shenton 130k a season

Some posters on Redvee are saying Sia could move to centre.

Can't see it.

I think we might see josh Jones in the centre on a permanent basic next season also with gaskell at six

I think turner and jones will be our centres next year with someone other than hohaia at #6.

I also think wello will be our fullback.

You think or do you know

Obviously I don't know what team brown will pick but I know we are actively looking for a stand off.

I agree

Well you must know that wello going to sign a new deal and turner as signed be interesting who we bring in a 6 if anyone

Hells Bells, I hope not.

If we fail to bring a stand off in, I think Gaskell will play there.

If we bring a stand off in I can see lance or gaskell asking to be released from there contracts

+1
Brown's comments on the BBC still resonate in my ears. He seemed rather unimpressed with him.

Could well be, I've heard that he's already been told that he won't be needed at Hull next season. Hull to bring in Jason Crookes.

We should be playing Gaskell now, to allow Brown to assess him before he makes a signing at stand off (unless we're targeting a marquee signing, which I cannot see).

Gaskell could claim the shirt as his own given the chance and allow us to concentrate on other areas in recruitment.

Brown may well want some experience in at half back, which is fair enough.

I cant see anyone out there that we would get unless we payed a fee which won't happen

If he's actively looking for a quality, out of contract stand off, there's one at Warrington who may want a swansong at his boyhood club.

think he will sign new deal at wire

I really can't see Briers wanting to come back here

I just find that bizarre, I really do. With Gaskell there and Hohaia as cover, the player coming in would have to be one hell of a player to make it worth it. I really don't see how that player could come from Super League.

Maybe brown just doesn't want lance anywhere near the halfback postion

and i'd agree with him!

So it's potentially a backup stand off we're looking for? It doesn't necessarily mean a starting player that the team is going to be built around in terms of attacking moves etc?
