We shouldn’t be getting anywhere near the level Wakefield have reportedly offered him, it’s why we are in the mess we are now signing average players to inflated/long contract’s.

Well Jones and Fonua were good on paper...

Mau'u put a shift in and would have been better in a better team. Swift came good in the end. Sao and Satae ok but a bit inconsistent (Sao more due to frequent bans) why we decided Johnston was worth a 3 year deal ill never know.

But yes there was a lot of hype around our 'most expensive squad ever' and I suppose 6th and playoff semi final feels like paradise compared to now.

Looking at OOC lists, it’s a very limited market, think I’d consider:

- Broadbent
- Yaha
- Laguere
- Seguier
- Amone
- Jack Hughes
- Oli Holmes
- Bill Leyland
- Partington
- Sam Stone

Not very exciting is it, maybe some others will be made available too. Also depends on how many quota spots we have.

Catalans after Partrington , I reckon Broadbent will stay with Cas if their new wealthy owner is going to spend some cash on the team .

Realistically I’d look at

Broadbent to replace Scott, Sam Hall and Qaraqare too.
Hewitt and possibly Russell but would hope for a better starting 7.
Storton replacement for Jack Brown.
Stone and Bourouh always impress.
Leyland looked lively against us.

Really gotta use the quota spots a lot better.

I read somewhere that McMeeken had virtually agreed a deal with another S/L club until Wakey came in with a massive offer and longer contract.Not worth getting into a bidding war even if we did have the money as looks as though Wakey are chucking money at players and that never ends well.

I'd sign Parcell if we need a hooker, type of player we need and looks like won't be staying at Rovers

I’ve missed Bullock off as well, be a steady signing. Think it was Oli leyland that played against us. Bill is the younger better brother who’s a hooker. Be good to sign a another hooker and slot him in at 7

I’m sure we could sign at least another 7 hookers, they could then play any position any time.
