I wouldnt have thought you would be targetting backrowers, I would have thought a hooker and a prop would be the positions you where after.

And I would agree, especially a ball handling prop.

Have Kingy if you want. Although he doesnt do much ball handling these days, he keeps his hand speed well practised jugling pints

Can't see us signing two second rowers. Maybe one of them though.

Might work if as someone stated before, Galea goes to loose man and Scott plays a utility/replacement hooker role.

Actually, if Stan is released at the end of this season then it makes even more sense. Scott would then play the kind of role Stan has been i.e. a utility forward replacement off the bench.

We have been found wanting against big packs this season e.g. Huddersfield and Warrington so there could be some logic in this.

Luke Stuart was offered a 2 year deal by you before he signed a 1 year extension at Souths.

Can't see how Gilmour / Mannering would change this though. They're both lightweight mobile forwards.

Who are the likely departures then...Fitzy, Stan, Macca & Mills?

Fitzy...new hooker.

Stan...new outside back I reckon (Craig Hall?) with Chev moving full time into the pack, especially if Fitzys replacement is a hooker.

Macca...new prop.

Mills...not getting much game time, so don't think we'd bother with a new player tbh.

None of these 4 played on Saturday, so maybe a glimse of next season?

That nickname is quite tame compared to the names my mates refer to him as.

I'm sure Morgan would be tempted too, he played for GB once don't you know.
