Free Agents/Who would your 1st team be? : Tue Jan 10, 2017 10:44 am  

Let's imagine a new club gets started

We sign all previous playing staff from the first team who are currently without clubs.

Who else is a free agent that we could bring in to beef up the squad?

Any names off the top of our heads?


Scott Moore
Ryan Bailey

I may have totally missed who these people have signed for, but I'm pretty sure they were released by previous clubs...

Jordan Tansey (Wakey Utility)
Josh Johnson (Huddersfield Prop)
Kevin Larroyer (KR Back Row)
Paddy Flynn (Widnes Wing)

If they haven't signed for other clubs, I think they'd improve our current options. Tansey admittedly as backup, but Johnson, Larroyer & Flynn would all be decent additions.

Hahaha some real characters on that list already!

Rohan (if he's still the coach in this scenario) would have his work cut out.

Wouldn't touch Scott Moore. More likely to be playing for HMR Prison for more of the season than us.

Stuart Howarth?
Danny Williams?

Indeed. But as I mentioned elsewhere, we're very much in the "beggars can't be choosers" category at the moment. Tansey is the only one on the list who I'm not sure is that much benefit, but that's if we keep Moss. If Moss goes, we could do with better fullback options now that Clare has gone too.

I'd say Howarth is very likely now that O'Brien has moved on. Rohan clearly saw something in him last season to pick him over AOB in the Fev game.
Not convinced I've seen the same, but I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him come in should we re-form.
