Griff will never be the same player he was before his injury, he hasn’t recovered from the mental side . He winces and hates taking the ball in , expecting his Achilles to go again . Be best to ship him out if possible , shame really but his age doesn’t help too .

Heard we are interested in Raymond Faitala Mariner.
Can't see it personally but would be a fantastic replacement for Ma'u

Think thr rumour started from one of those ITK accounts on twitter. I'd take it with a massive pinch of salt.

Sutcliffe will be seen as Manus replacement. Wouldn't be surprised to see Longstaff here longer term too. Wire have signed Nicholson from Wigan and Josh McGuire, which will push Longstaff down the pecking order. Pete Riding must've had a whisper in his ear

Matt Shaw / Dan Tomlinson revealed we've got an option to sign Jack Walker permanently

I only saw the first half but Walker looked pretty good especially under the high ball .

Get him signed

On the assumption that Hoy will be here next season to replace Reynolds and Jake moves to 6 and Ma'u leaves as been speculated that opens up one quota spot. Where do we use it if at all? Lots of talented younger players on the periphery of the team maybe should be given an opportunity.

As things stand I would probably “bank” it and save it for during the season when the inevitable injuries and suspensions occur.

Decent overseas players become available during the season and with a quota spot available it gives us a chance to move quickly.

Depends on the squad make up when all deals are agreed and signed but that would be my current thinking.

You make some Interesting points. There could be one or two surprising exits which may have be filled with overseas signings. I don't really like to write off stalwarts but some of them are on the decline.
