Did we get him on a two year deal ? Is there an extension clause ? He's someone who I'd be happy to see tied to a long deal. But if he only decided to see his existing deal out and return to the NRL he'd go with my thanks & very best wishes. But that's a long way off yet, we've got plenty of bosh to look forward to first.
Cas - Gale, Roberts, Catalans - Walsh, Myler Hudds - Brough, Gaskell Hull - Sneyd, Kelly Leeds - McGuire, Sutcliffe/Burrow/Lilley? Leigh - Ridyard, Drinkwater Saints - Fages, Smith Salford - Lui, Dobson Wakefield - Williams, Miller Warry - Gidley, Patton Widnes - Brown, Mellor Wigan - Leuluai, Williams
Interesting list, that, thank you. As other have said, Cas, with Chase in reserve, probably the best, but not really a solid standout. Leuluai needed surgery on a jaw fracture I think, so might impact his pre season.
i would have us in the top 3 of those with cas and wigan, though leuluai will be injured for a while won't he?
I scribbled them down pretty quickly, not sure on the extent of his injury. Maybe Tomkins to drop into the halves and Escare/Tierney at FB? Or Shorrocks, as he got some game time and did alright last year.
I completely forgot about Chase at Cas as Wilde pointed out .
But yeh, providing 2015 Kelly turns up, it's a decent pairing.
Hardaker will play FB, reckons Roberts will play hooker off the bench.
On paper they look a real danger, Solomona will be a loss, but have Shenton back.
Hooker they've got Milner and McShane. I reckon we'll see Hardaker in the centres with Shenton, as Powell prefers a FB that can pass a ball. Some great options at Cas though, pity they're losing Solomona, but I think I'd have scored at least 20 on that wing given the great service he got
