Cheers for that. It was the kind of game we were winning earlier in the season, getting back into it towards the end, so it's a bit worrying that we're struggling to do that at the moment.

I suppose you're not too confident next week then? could be season over if we lose again and saints have got to be favourites on current form.

No, I'm not at all. I think Saints have an unremarkable squad and an unremarkable coach, but at least they have sharpened up at the business end of the season, which is more than we have.

Would anyone sign Mason Caton-Brown to cover wing/centre/fullback next season with Dan Sarginson leaving?

I think he could really put pressure on the backs we have. Out of contract this season.

The lad can definitely play.

Re: Rumours and signings v9 : Wed Aug 17, 2016 9:18 pm  

He's definitely got pace and a decent swerve and likes to take people on the outside. I'm sure we could coach that out of him though and use him as an extra prop in our own quarter.

Caton-Brown has signed for Wakey according to rumour on Love Rugby League.

We certainly look like we need another outside back.

Steve Michaels : Wed Aug 31, 2016 11:22 pm  

With Manfredi out for 12 months give or take, I was thinking Steve Michaels could be a handy signing on a 1 year deal?

He's been a steady performer for Hull and seems to perform well in big games and with him being released at the end of the year, I imagine you could get him on a reasonable money.

I know a goal kicker is priority but I think Manfredi is a massive loss and I'm not convinced by either Tierney or Gildart on the wing. An experienced pro could be a shrewd signing.

What are people's thoughts?

Re: Steve Michaels : Thu Sep 01, 2016 7:32 am  

Had the same thoughts myself when I heard he was out of contract and leaving Hull.

He's a handy player. He isn't in the class of Manfredi or Burgess but he's certainly better then our alternative options and he's played a bit of Centre which could be very useful.

One worry I have currently is that I see the Burgess clan (including the mother) putting pressure on Joe Burgess to stay at South Sydney. That would be a huge blow if he did decide to change his mind. Fingers crossed its just banter.

I'd rather put Hampshire there.
