One signing so far is poor, need at least two new forwards befor xmas.

We've signed Hurrell, Lolohea and McLelland haven't we?

Stop panicking. We will add players to the squad.

McLelland won't get near the first team this season unless we have a injury ridden season. He'll play more games for Fev. We can add players to the squad but will they be the quality we desire and need?

Only time will tell but to be saying we've only added 1 player isn't true. Add Crosby to the list and we've signed 4 players.

Referring to the off season really, only Hurrel signed,(Crosby confirmed full deal) think people were expecting a bit more coming and going.

Agreed. Cant complain that we'vr leaving it Late to sign players, but then discount signings we made really early.

We'v signed 4 players, 2 exciting players from the NRL who are miles better quality than what we'v been bringing over recently. One of the best young talents in the British game, in the opinion of Warringtons Head of youth, Pete Riding, THE best young talent in the British game, and a good, solid, superleague prop with lots of big game experience.

By all accounts theres going to be another couple of quality signings coming in, the type that will take a bit more negotiating than the likes of Mullally, Achurch or Ormndroyd. For a new regime coming in, with a lot of rubbish to clear up, im happy with what theyr doing so far.

Garbutt gone to Hull KR announced in Hull daily Mail

Re: 2019 | Squad : Mon Nov 12, 2018 11:28 am  

OK so we now definitely have some cap space and a quota spot free. The next couple of signings could make the difference from 2019 being bang average / troubled again, or us challenging for silverware. Garbutt was one of the few signings the old guard managed to get right overall.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Mon Nov 12, 2018 12:31 pm  

Definitely needs another player in if Garbutt has gone, maybe 2. Still reckon Greenwood from KR would do a job.
Props: Cuthbertson, Singleton, Crosby, Mullally, Peteru and Oledzki
Second row: Ward, Ferres, JJB, Ablett
Loose: Smith

I'm guessing Sutcliffe will be moved in to second row or loose forward. A lot depends what type of player Furner wants to play at loose. The injury record and age must be a concern in the back row.

Re: 2019 | Squad : Mon Nov 12, 2018 1:07 pm  

With Garbutt going how many overseas quota does that leave us with is it 2? I've lost track ...
