Still very much unproven at regular top division first team level though.
Id also say with Golding Keinhorst & now Newman in our squad i dont think wing is a position we need to be recruiting for just now.

I wasn’t actually suggesting anything, just that the way we use our wingers he would be a perfect signing for us. For what we use wingers for, he would probably be a better signing than Hall or Briscoe, let alone the fringe ones you talk about. Of course Hall and Briscoe have other qualities that are way above Lo, but for the front foot meterage we use wingers for, that is where this fella would be at his best.

I know a sponsor of Batley and he told me at the time that the Rhinos had Walmsley as a guest at one of our home games whilst he was still at Batley and was choosing his SL club in order to try and persuade him to join us,I was told at the time that it was a straight choice between us and the Saints.
We unfortunately lost out on a great player there and I would love to know his reasoning behind his eventual choice of clubs and why he rejected us.

Rhinos had been watching Bentley for quite a while and yet again a player that we were interested in signing chose the the Saints.
I like the look of Bentley and would have loved to see us sign him as he is a very talented player, albeit he was playing lower league RL at the Bulls at the time so it is not always easy to judge a players abilities whilst they are playing in the lower leagues.

It will be very interesting to see how he progresses at Saints and to see if he can full fill his undoubted potential

Maybe they went to Saints for the money which in many cases can be short sighted in the long run.
Like I said it`s a shame we missed out on both of these players.
I know some people will say we haven`t done too bad without them but we could have still improved our squad and won more trophies with them.

I've heard we're one of the club's in negotiations with Mitchell Pearce, not sure which season though. 2019 I'd have thought.

Moon, Delaney, Garbutt, Parcell, Peteru, Cuthbertson, Galloway on the quota. One of these would have to leave for this to be a 2018 season. I’d expect you are correct for 2019.

Would be a good signing and help to fill the “new” stands in 2019 but he currently earns c£200k+ so highly unlikely in my opinion!

Depends on the length of the offer & add ons etc he won't always be guarenteed that amount so it ciuld be an attractive offer.

Pearce to Manly - Green to Warriors.

Doubt we'd get someone of Pearce's callibre over here. He isn't old enough yet.

Read last night that Trent Hodkinson has been languishing in the Knights' NSW Cup side most of last season - worth a punt?

No, his knees are knackered, can't run.
