Fully expecting SL clubs to be after Myers if he kicks on next season.
Wakefield are paying him over twice what he was on last year and a good chunk more than we offered him and paid a fee to sign Lawford. He'll be training full time but it lacks ambition IMO. He had offers from Superleague clubs just on less money.

That makes 8 very decent signings (alongside Craig Hall, Alex Sutcliffe, Reece Lyne, Suaia Matagi, Pauli Pauli, Josh Guzdek and Luke Briscoe).
Are Donny a team to be genuinely concerned about in terms of securing a top 4 position again?
Most of the players signed are in their twilight years but sill decent players who pose a threat.

If they can keep all of them fit and on the field they'll be a real handful next year.
Matagai I think he was at fax for a game or 2 and was awful and I’m never convinced on pauli Pauli maybe good for a couple of good runs and then vanishes Lovodua could be okay depending on attitude strongest signings for me are Hall, briscoe and sutcliffe

I think Doncaster will be focussed, rightly in my view, on not getting sucked into a relegation battle.
The last time they came up, they went straight back down. They'll be keen to consolidate this year - hence lots of one-year deals for older players. Smart move, in my view. Although they'll need to bring in some younger players later.
I suspect they'll be happy to be mid-table next year.
