I thought we'd be in for Greenwood but he's Wigan bound. Josh Jones' name gets mentioned a lot. If we get an English backrow then where would we look to strengthen with a quota place?
Josh Jones looked very average last week, perhaps Salford struggle is telling who knows, but Mossop on the other hand was very good whilst on, Mini & Sika have been fantastic almost irreplaceable, part of me is glad Mini signed again, but do we hang on too long with our “greats” Wigan for example pretty ruthless, Hardaker in Sam out, Joel out “Wigan must have been rubbing there hands with glee after bargate” Greenwood in.

Personally would of rather kept Manu over Mini, sign a British back rower to replace him and use the quota spot on a big offloading prop, like Ikahihifo at Hudds. Suppose Mini staying is okay if Manu goes, hard to replace both in same off season. Still rate Jones, was his first game back against us so could of been rusty. We definitely need a signing (or 2) to come in and strengthen the 17.
A player like Ikahifo would be on very big money, not easy for us to accommodate while maintaining the right balance on salary cap, which you need to be a top half team.

I’m no expert but I imagine he’d be on similar money to Manu or Mini current wage. We donneed someone like him though, few knocking about the league, him, Cuthbertson, Moors, Sene Lefao, bounce out of tackles, get the offload away. Hopefully Masi can carry on and develop into this sort of player.
