According to YorkshireLive, who I have to say are normally pretty accurate in such matters, we are in for Owen Trout from Huddersfield. We are apparently 'billed as favourites' to land his signature.
23 year old prop, who appears to be much sought after. We definitely need some more British props in the team. Having practically avoided relegation already we can plan for the rest of the season and next season. Leigh appear to be a desirable destination for once, making Chezzy's job much easier. Certainly interesting times ahead.
Agreed, if he is the same beanpole that played against Leigh for Leeds in the pre-season 'friendly' then I thought he had a good game and either offloaded well in the tackle or threatened to do so. Thought he was a bit of a nuisance so, would not say no if, if, the club was in for him.
Another one out of contract, I believe, is Dan Norman at Saints. Although Saints say they rate him highly he cannot seem to get a game with them for love nor money and always seems to be out on loan in the Championship. I thought he showed real promise for the short time that he was with us early last season. He is a seriously big unit, British, relatively young and a good hard driving no nonsense prop. For me that is a tick, tick, tick and tick again in all the right boxes.
Cannot wait to see who we have landed. Lammy 'the Legend' seemed pretty chuffed with the club's transfer business in his last set of interviews last week.
Since I have mentioned him, I have to confess that I still have to pinch myself that we have someone as good and generally classy as Adrian Lam as our coach. The pies fans who wanted him out when he was with them clearly know nowt!
Sam Walters was very good in the Saints game, although he was lucky to stay on the field after putting in a shoulder charge. I would say very much a work in progress, but with bags of potential.
Frankie Halton inbound. Great signing which gives us more depth in a problem area for us. Not convinced we will see much of Hughes or Wardle this season.
