We have a lot of squad players on our books that are quite young relatively do I don't think we're in too bad a position in the sense that 4-6 very good signings would make a massive difference rather than a complete 10-12 man turnaround (again).
Kevin Brown and possibly Danny Tickle are definitely 2 of that top calibre we can realistically achieve. Eamon O'Carroll would be an in-between of a good staved add SL regular but also a vey good age for a prop.
I see a gap for a quality centre allowing Dean / Isa and Phelps (if not covering FB) to fight it out for the other spot and covering the wings also.
The key spot really is 9 though. Lloyd White, cracking interchange player. Jon Clarke adds experience and will still 'do a job' IF required. McShane would fit the mould perfectly but that will depend on what happens at Leeds.
7 & 13 would be great but only if quality is out there. Hence If we don't (highly likely) get Matty Smith we don't just sign a 7 for the sake of it. Cahill and Allen can always play 13 (better in second row) too should an out and out loose not be available. Though another body for the back row spots is also essential.

I have no idea what the situation with Leeds is but from what i hear from the player is that he is having a very enjoyable time at Widnes so it could well happen if the player is given the option.
