John Davidson linked us with Wakeham months ago.

Obvious Fiji links with us I guess.

In the unlikely event we offload Griffin or Taylor, it must all come down to what happens with Jake, to create some room.

The team would be more balanced losing Jake, and bringing in a half and Longstaff. Just we lose the assists, although I still believe it was as high as it was last year as we looked to Jake to provide all the creativity.
Smith might spread it around the rest of the team?

Think Jake will stay, don't see a club with the cap space and the need to sign him right now, also has to deal that benefits us.

He seems to have been mentioned a few times and photos of him used in a few social media posts and season ticket campaigns recently too.

Only realistic signing I can see is Longstaff on loan.
Jake and Taylor will still be here and possibly Griffin too.
Still may move Shaul on.

We may see some movement after the World Cup.

I think Shaul would have defiantly gone, but a change in coach maybe has changed that, think he will end up going out on loan, as just cant see anyway he gets close to the 17 and he will want to play with it being his last year of contract.

I wouldn't be surprised to see us save some cap and non fed place for a mid season signing, see who gets injured.

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Wed Oct 12, 2022 7:16 am  

Heard Connor has 'definitely" signed for Hudds, from the usual chap who's been right about most things.

Connor for Longstaff + 7 is what sounds like will happen.

Hoping it's all BS still, apart from the Longstaff bit

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Wed Oct 12, 2022 7:30 am  

I think they would be more in the media if he was going, apart from a few people on Twitter (the ones who told us French was signing) and HDM (who probably got it from here or Twitter there has been very little said, none of the mainstream journalists have picked up on it and nothing from Hudds.
Looking at their recruitment I don't see why Hudds need him or could afford him, unless they offload a few players.

Why we would use him in promoting season passes too, unless we are being a bit sneaky and deceiving fans.

If I was betting, i think he will stay and sign for another club next season, my guess would be Leeds to replace Austin.

Re: Shopping List 2023 : Wed Oct 12, 2022 8:11 am  

He'd slot in at 6 next to Fages. They've lost Levi so will have some wiggle room you'd think.

Maybe they release Pryce early too?
