I have watched Holdsworth a couple of times this season and he is good imo, he may actually fit into Gentles plans of a mobile pack, I would like us to find a f/back to compliment the h/backs and I reckon our recruitment looks pretty good tbh

He's going to be a fantastic player but another centre for 2013?

He has some quality about him but I'd be a little underwhelmed tbh. He doesn't have that real pace or X factor that we badly lack in the halves.

I would be very pleased if we could sign Bateman, especially if Tickle is to leave to go back over the pennines.

A backrow of Ellis, Bateman, Westerman, Whiting, with Pitts and Kent as cover isn't too shabby.

Holdsworth would be decent too, and he's a good kicker. Salford have played some fantastic attacking rugby this year so some of that (with a tighter defence) wouldn't be bad.

John Bateman is a backrower.

TBh in a decent side could do a job very similar to finch imo

You could be right there the lad certainly has talent and a good boot on him, things are looking really good for next season!

I thought that I'd only seen him play centre. Stand-out player though without a doubt. Him and Whitehead would be very nice indeed.

So is he one of the Unnamed Six or another one

Are you talking about his on field performances??
......or because he finished 5th in 'sexiest man in league 2006'
