Seem to have gone quite at the club on recruitment at the moment. I still Reckon we need a half back, Prop, Centre and a hooker at least.

I'd say that the announcement of new signings has gone quiet at the club. I think that the recruitment process is still firmly underway.

Experienced prop - someone like Dowes, or even Fozzard as wouldn't need to be a starter.
Centre - Dean & Isa are pretty good signing sbut one more would be great, i'd still go for Gleeson tbh.
Stand off / Scrum Half - Hanbury can play the other, Tim Smith gone very quiet bar more Wakey talk so who knows.
Hooker / Back rower - If we get another half back we have Clarke, White & Coyle which wouldn't be too bad. If we do get Scott Moore i'd play him 13 in a fully fit side with the obvious option of him playing hooker should we lose someone their or at half back (White to cover).
Winger - We only really have Flynn and Ah Van so i'd like us to sign an option with real burning pace, someone like Amos Roberts should he recover from knee operation.

That would give us 24 first team players (excluding Owens & Gilmour who you'd only be looking at a handful of games at most) so probably still 2/3 short but wouldn't need to be considered SL starters as such or maybe someone like Glenn Morrison who would do a good job for a season as Haggerty & Leuluai develop physically a bit more.

Centre Wise maybe get Keith Senior on a 1 yr deal?

Potentially, though you could be hoping as long with Keith's fitness recovery as hoping Gleeson would get back right, Gleeson would also have a few more years at the top left and dominate on the right flank allowing Isa to be in his natural left rather than he or Dean shifted right for Senior.

Oh and Happy Birthday vikingsmurf

thanks guys. im on the case, currently drafting an e mail to the club inlcuding a shopping list of desired players on the subject of senior, lets bear in mind, in light of his recent salary cap coments he could be looking at some serious questions from HMRC, the rozzers and the RFL (in their case potentially for bringing the game into disrepute) He may not be an option even when fit.
