The Alex walker thing was a bit of a cock up but this guy looks decent and it’s an area where we need to strengthen the squad - no not getting rid of max but we need cover at full back

Ah that’d be a quality signing. Didn’t even know he was British so that’s a bonus. Seen him a few times this season and thought he looked a natural, fully-developed player, which makes sense if he’s 24. And probably the perfect level to sit behind Jowitt without sulking. Because let’s be honest - we’ve got cover at full back this year (Walmsley or Booth), but we need more than that next year

I’ve watched Booth a few times and to me he looks best at Centre. He’s tall and rangy with a good step and decent speed. If he can put on a stone he could be a handful to say the least.

Walmesley looks like a play anywhere type, but predominantly the wing. I think virtually all our backs for next year with the exception of TJ are multi purpose, and imo good multi purpose rather than makeshift. This will be vital in our first few seasons back in SL.

For god sake move on, different club hugely different ambitions. Does Powell seem the kind of bloke who panics. He’s been coaching for 20 years now and whilst at Cas he produced one of the best attacking teams to ever Grace SL on a fairly limited budget. Warrington didn’t work out but that’s one glitch, all coaches have those, even Wayne Bennett.

The club is totally different now, we really do our research before we sign players. We won't get it right everything but I am sure we will get far more right than wrong. In the past we were to ready and gullible to believe the guff peddled by agents trying to off load their players. These days Steve Mills performs hours of research on all our signings which is a far more professional approach.

Yeah totally agree on Booth. He looks a great prospect, and some of the tries he’s scored in the reserves at centre have been top class. Just don’t think he’d be good enough cover at fullback in SL next year. Walmsley could potentially do it, but he still looks like a winger playing fullback to me.

If rumours are to be believed and we’ve already signed Trueman, Rourke, Storton and Matty Russell then I like how our squad’s shaping up for next year already. Would like to see one more worldie backrower sign, then I think we’d be good enough on paper to make a charge at top 8/6.

I'm giggling at the idea that Booth has "decent speed" - he's absolutely rapid!!

Also worthy of note - we aren't announcing our marquee signings until we are confirmed to be IN Superleague.

Any signing announced until then is a bonus.

I’m not sure how you get to that given we have already announced 2 of them.

ME's plan is a long term one, and not a short term one.

Those supporters who are expecting a Cleary, need to come back down to earth an be a little more realistic, we need to remember where we are right now, league wise, and as it stands, were not guaranteed super league just yet.

What we are bringing in mostly, is younger players, with a decent standard, which will hopefully make us a more competetive side for the future.

Going back to ME, what he is doing for the club in terms of players off the field, such as the facilities, ie recovery rooms etc, this can only abode well for the future, in terms attracting players from here and the NRL, that are of a higher calibre. Hopefully, this word will be spread among players, both here and over there. Also further development to the stadium will aid this.
