Probably best to be left in the kitty for a potential mid-season signing, might be able to bring someone non-quota in a few months earlier or you never know there might be a case (due to injuries or just not playing) that maybe Miski, Isa or Mago get released early so we can sign someone from the NRL.



Agree, look at last season's late boost in the pack where Dupree with Singleton going the other way.

Assuming that Dupree was on a bigger salary than Singleton...

Seperately, as a minimum we will have Powell and Shorrocks salary available which should be a decent amount, the question is where do you use it and when?

I think we could be potentially light in the backs if we get an injury. What cover do we have apart from Douglas, Eckersley and Hampshire should our 1-7 get injured?

Yes we look a little short obviously the utility value of Hampshire with French and Keigrhan covers a lot of stuff add Eckersley and Douglas for centre and wings At a push Leaming in halves and Isa centre

Eckersley looks a decent prospect to me and decent back up at centre or wing, Hampshire is a decent enough back up for halves and full back, Keighran can cover in the halves as can Leeming and we have Farrimond also coming through who lots have high hopes for. It would be tough to add someone much better without the promise of being in the 13 when everyone is fit. Think we can get away with the depth in the forwards as it’s easier and beneficial to rotate.

I think we need a season without too much experienced depth in the backs because opportunities need to start opening up for Eckersley and Douglas. That wouldn’t have necessarily happened with Thornley/Cust still here (I know Cust is a halfback but he gave us that option of moving French to the wing if Miski/Marshall went down). I really like the look of both of those lads and hope to see them get some opportunities before long.

No squad numbers yet despite the shirt being out.

Is it case Peet wants to see everyone in preseason before dishing out the numbers or are we awaiting a signing ?

Last years came out in late December, 2022 in late November

Well the Farrell story seems dead in the water,indeed if it was ever realistically alive of course,he's bigging up him playing in the next world cup at 36 he was speaking the launch of some cup or other,funnily enough if anyone can still be fit for union at 36 it's him.

I’d say the former.

Going to be a pretty competitive pre-season me thinks especially with the Penrith game.

The same source that confirmed Smithies was leaving a few weeks back told me last night that Harry Smith has an NRL offer on the table along with (as you'd expect) a contract extension offer from Wigan.

Huge decision for him and huge for us. I think it’ll need to be lucrative any offer from Wigan but I’ve got everything crossed we can get him sorted on a long term deal.
