I'm starting to change my mind on this signing a bit.
When you look at the other teams and who they are signing, we need to step up just to remain in that top 8 group.
Brough is obviously part of this....as is Kopczak
When you think that Salford will have Hastings on a permanent basis, Leeds will have Hurrell, Lolohea and Crosby, Huddersfield have started looking at names with their new coach who certainly picked them up last year, and of course Catalan have added Tomkins and Uate so they are going to be pushing us too.
Above us
Sts will have Naiqama, Paulo and Coote which I think will improve them further
Wigan have Hardaker if he ever get's on the field
Warrington have Blake Austin coming in
I think London and Hull KR will struggle across the season but in one off games they'll cause a stir and I'm sure they'll target us.
I don't think Cas have changed much and I think they'll need to up their game same as we do.
Hull haven't done anything yet but they'll be looking to improve by simply getting a fit team on the field.
Everybody except London and Hull KR have a decent shout at top 8 and most probably fancy a crack at the 5 as well.
I'm looking forward to it already.
Uate has signed for Hudds mate, not Catalans. Catalans have also brought in Smith but lost Drinkwater, big loss for them that.
I think Salford could do with some more forward power to make use of Hastings, Lui, and Sio IMO. They've let about 10 players go and just brought 4 in, their squad looks crazy thin. just looking 3 of the 4 new signings came in at the end of last season as well.
