Lino is sat at side of Gale in the team meeting at the beginning.

Fev are also talking to Olpherts agent.

Much rather have Kershaw than Olpherts.

Maybe we could do a swap, I`m sure he would go well in the Championship!!

Whether it be Kershaw or Olpherts, they would be back up for me, If both JM and Walmsley are fit they are both starters, then we have Franco that looked promising in SL and a number of other cover options if needed in the likes of Kay and Pratt, for me it would be a bit of a waste to have another quality winger sat in the stands.

I'm sure i read an article online sometime earlier this week that Kershaw is training with the Rhinos. Can't remember exactly which website, could have been Yorkshire Post or Yorkshire Live ,something like that, any body else see it?

I think you have a very good signing in Walmsley from what I`ve seen of him.

Big unit and has plenty of pace pretty much in the Johnstone mould but not as good yet of course.

There's some good teams in the Championship but I`m sure you will be back in SL the following year.

Hope we have some signings soon and some quality ones. I know we started a bit behind the 8 ball a bit late but we are still lacking in quality and depth if we are targeting that top spot and the two finals this season.

Think there be 1 or maybe 2 more, but after that we will be relying on the Duel Reg agreement to pad out the squad, with the possibility of mid season signings should the right players become available.

I agree. Looking at the likes of Fev, Bradford, York not to mention others, we need to add some quality to the forwards for sure.

2 players of the right calibre will make all the difference. Like you say if we’ll be getting players of Hill, Eseh and Chans calibre potentially that will be class in the Championship. But obviously need a strong enough squad not to rely on dual reg players or if Wigan hit an injury blip we’re snookered.

Joe Shorrocks has just left Wigan to go to Salford so thats one pack man they are down and Harvie Hill is rumoured to be joining him there on loan. Less options to go at.



I notice Joe Lovudua has signed for Doncaster as well. They are also getting a competitive team together there.

I see that Leigh have just managed to secure Matt Moylan on a 2 year deal, so there are still some quality players available to those with deep pockets

Quality signing that in my opinion. Spooks the forums Sharks expert, be interesting to get his opinion.

I agree, we’re not there yet with proven quality- lots of promise and potential but I think we need a bit more yet!

Maybe some to come yet although it’s gone a bit quiet I reckon things still going on in the background!

Well realistically we have a quad of 24? Bit of those 24 I think 3/4 are academy players stepping up.



That’s very wafer thin in depth imho.



The starting 17 is good enough for anywhere between 1-3 imho as it stands but if injuries kick in we are stuffed.



I’m sure Powell said in a recent interview usually it’s 31/32 players in a squad.



I’d be happy with 3/4 real good quality signings. I’m sure we aren’t being complacent but trying to get the right players and quality ones.

In the Radio Leeds interview last week, Powell said that he was looking at a squad of 34, so realistically there should be a good few more to come yet, so hopefully some proven quality amongst them ??

I've always admired Matty and was thrilled when he signed for the Sharkies ... honestly though, he has never really fired in a sharks shirt.. on occasion he can be brilliant... but those occasions have been few and far between for a couple of seasons now. He's been a player I've always been excited to see on the team sheet but usually a bit disappointed by his performance.



He's probably an upgrade for Leigh on Reynolds but (IMO) he's no longer a game changing star.



his signing also perpetuates that SL is an NRL retirement village.

Must have been 34 then. I think that’s a bit much with the dual reg but we are running way too light presently.

Informative as always Spook, Much appreciated

Must have been 34 then. I think that’s a bit much with the dual reg but we are running too light presently.

I think as an organising half he will go well. The issue is for me Leigh needed a 5/8th rather than a midfield general as they already have that in Lam.



For me it’s a panic buy with them missing out on Milford who fitted the bill as the strike style of player they needed to combine with Lam.

Hopefully Ramon Silva gets an opportunity at Trinity as his highlights are impressive…. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lvX6whYkP ... VyIA%3D%3D

Ahh… ok..

Hoping for some signings soon to boost the squad and strengthen.



A strong prop with heavy post contact metres is absolute must to replace Fifita and Whitbread.



A damaging right second row to replace Tanginoa is another must.



Even if we sign 2/3 players that’s fine if they are high quality.



News and rumours is very sp on the playing front. Haven’t seen or heard a player rumour in weeks.
