1. Shaun Briscoe
2. Paddy Flynn
3. Willie Isa
4. Chris Dean
5. Patrick Ah Van
6. Rhys Hanbury
7. ................
8. Ben Cross
9. Lloyd White
10. ..............
11. Hep Cahill
12. Frank Winterstein
13. Ben Kavanagh

14. Ben Davies
15. Jon Clarke
16. Kurt Haggerty
17. Steve Pickersgill



That would be my first choice thus far with Clarke coming from the bench as rotation for Lloyd White, Another mean fooker up front and another utility forward should see the pack complete. A scrum Half and winger will see the backs complete with Steve Tyrer also signing as cover.


So i make that 4 signings still to come!

Elliot Kear/Amos Roberts?
Tim Smith?
Andy Lynch?
Matty Blythe?

Also at a glance (inc Cru excemptions) we have only used one quota spot with Ben Cross and 3 non fed trained spots Ah Van, Isa and including Cahill for now as signed pre Cru withdrawal so we have plenty of scope on signings too.

Correct that was pre Isa, Clarke & Hanbury. Tbh I still expect more than another 3 in as I think that was mostly where they hoped to be by now.

At least one half back (Tim Smith) another hooker (Scott Moore / Fisher) a big prop (Andy Lynch / Ewan Dowes). A talented high rated back row (Glen Morrison / Rob Purdham) and then yes maybe another wing but tbh I'd be happy with Penny there. Tyrer also.

Penny? Has he made any tackles yet?

No doubts but visa has to be virtually impossible as hasn't had a clean record since rejected one in 2009 especially of convicted for his current drink driving case.

heard you guys are close to signing Paleaaesina, and possibly Lauaki, Matty Blythe, Tim Smith and Tony Williams from Manly, he is off contact and is rumoured to be coming to Widnes.

Those sort of players are certainly heading in the right direction. Some of them might not be world beaters but certainly better than most if not all of the players anounced so far. Think it needs at least a couple of high profile signings to get the season ticket numbers moving again.
