I guess we're preparing for life in the Championship in 2021.

Matty Gee probably outplayed our two back rowers this season, young enough for Smith to develop too and i doubt he'll be on the same wage as Tomkins

Sammut may be being released from Wigan. I realise he's not top drawer in terms of HB, but at least that is his dedicated position rather than us trying to 'manufacture one' in NH words.

What is he classed as, overseas wise, these days?

Rovers signing strapline “young and hungry” read into cheap and available.
They say it’s the hope that kills you, well I won’t be dying next year

The problem that I see with this is that he's cackamallababshit.

Still need at least 1 hb and 2 props (aswell as Parcell and Minikin) and the squad will be pretty decent, not a play off challenging squad but hopefully a younger hungrier one

Would you class Salford as cheap and available?

They spent about half the amount FC did on their squad. Their respective positions in the league makes interesting reading.

Rumor Mill stating Sammut may end up in Championship as all Super League clubs searching for a half back are all in negotiations with others?

My point being that Salford would be classed as cheap and available yet look how they played and where they finished. If Smith can get us playing like that ill certainly be happy

Slightly OT, I had a look at the 2018 squad list earlier... https://www.hullkr.co.uk/hull-kr-reveal ... d-numbers/ Striking that only six of the 32 are expected to be with Rovers at the start of 2020. Quinlan, Masoe, Lawler, Mulhern, Oakes and Dagger. When you think also of those that have come and gone since, like Vaivai, Drinkwater, Tomkins and maybe Lannon, Minns going, returning and going again, plus the loan deals, the turnover has been pretty remarkable, even for a promoted club.
