So we swap him for Dagger who ends up at York? Genius if so.....

Doesn't matter who we swapped him for - we got relegated, ending any real "ownership" of our players.

Really bored so just looking at potential signings for trinity who I think could do a good job. Maybe a hint of a wish list I guess but helps to pass the time.

Keven Appo - impact second rower from Bulls yet to sign a deal.

Lachlan Walmsley - we really could do with a finisher and some speed in the side. Walmsley is exactly that.

Judah Rimbu - PNG hooker who looks like a real live wire.

Ryan Hampshire - think he would be a good option for halfback. Think he’s been playing that in Wigan reserves all year and they won the final easily.

Luis Johnson - big unit from Hull KR. Could be worth a punt.

Ben Nakubawaii - think he’s available from Leigh. Been there and done it last season.

Joey Lovadua - perhaps one who can rekindle his form in the LF position with us. I remember been impressed with him last season but seems to have fallen out of form and favour at hull fc. Seems like he can play SR, 9, 13 so would offer good versitality.

One thing I can see is that there’s not very many props available again on the market.

Think Greg Miniikin would do a decent job at wing/centre and still only 28 and released by Warrington.

Had signed for Fev on a Super League Contract so is back to being a free agent again. Has history with Powell so I wouldn't be surprised if we are in for him but I know FEV are also trying to renegotiate with him.

I see Renouf Atoni wants to stay at the club.

He started slow but was actually playing quite well that second half of the season. The arrival of big Dave saw a big improvement in his performances.

He is a big unit and tbh if the salary is right I think he would go very strong in the championship with his sheer size.

As I say the salary would have to be negotiate accordingly which the club and player would be happy with.

Not that im a massive fan but jordan Schofield as signed for Keighley

Re: Rumours thread : Tue Oct 17, 2023 12:22 pm  

Keven Appo, Lachlan Walmsley and Ryan Hampshire. I'd look at all three, especially Rocky as we're under new ownership. Could finally get it right!

Judah Rimbu - Not heard of him so can't comment.

Would pass on the rest.

Appo has now re-signed with Bradford. Also not sure we'd sign another hooker with Kay & Smith here and Doyle due to sign so i'd deem Rimbu highly unlikely. Other might be worth a shout.

Just saw that. Shame.

Smith as yet hasn’t officially signed. Would be happy if he did as he looks the business.
Kay I’m still not convinced is a 9 personally.
Doyle presently is the only confirmed number 9 we have.

Hood signed for next season.
