I make it we need another 7 players to complete the squad.

1 Prop

Betts has mentioned we'll be bringing in a top front rower from either Super League or the NRL

1 Hooker

Jon Clarke?

3 Half Backs

Tim Smith?
Scott Dureau?
Martin Ridyard?

1 Winger

Elliot Kear?

1 Second Row/Loose Forward

Matty Blythe - Great utility value

Lincoln Withers and Rhys Hanbury wouldnt be too bad of an addition IMO.

Withers an able 9/halfback, Hanbury a utility/scrum half.

Unsure if theyve been signed by other clubs though.

Don't forget we've still got to fit in Cameron Smith.

Re: Remaining positions to sign : Sat Sep 03, 2011 7:02 pm  

Jeremy Smith is OOC, worth a year at least

Do you think we need to sign another second rower VM?
How many do we have at the moment? Allen, Cahill, Winterstein, Haggerty, Leuluai
I supppose there is room for one more.

I would happily take two half backs but no more than that. GG should begin his full time training this year and I am hopeful that he will be used sparingly as back up. Plus White seems as though he might be a very handy acquisition.

Think we should be looking at a new coach with Nrl experiance or Superleague experiance at least to be perfectly honest !

Lincoln Withers has signed for Hull KR.

Hope we get Clarke and some decent halves. But the more and more I see of Lloyd White, the more his signing excites me. Reminds me of a (albeit poor man's) Braith Anasta or Trent Barrett in his running style from stand-off.

Re: Remaining positions to sign : Mon Sep 05, 2011 10:37 am  

After yesterday, I reckon we need a decent fullback, two decent fast wingers, 2 skillful centres and 2 hard running/tackling 2nd rowers, a loose forward, 2 big rough tough props, a smart hooker, a clever, nippy scrum half and a classy stand off.

If we manage to get those we shoud be ok!

Good to hear Rich as it does seem to take some doing to impress you at times. I'll take this as a very good thing.

Very good that.
