I think personally we could go with what we have for next year in regards to options on the wing I know I've mentioned Arthur is keen to try Handley at Centre but I hope he stays on the wing for me as I think he is a top level Super League Winger and we may lose his strengths moving him to Centre and possibly expose some of his weaknesses if we went with Handley, Hall, Lumb & Edgell as Wingers for 2025 I'd be happy with that and then readdress the wings at the end of the 2025 season. As long as we made upgrading our pack the main priority.
Don't want to read too much into this but Parramatta beat West Tigers this morning in there final game of their season and for the Eels final try Campbell-Gillard took the conversion, now teams normally do that for a player who is retiring or leaving the club and as we know we have been linked with Campbell-Gillard as he's one of the names on Brad Arthur's wish list so with him taking that conversion maybe that is conformation he is leaving Parramatta but to where isn't 100% clear yet.

Not yet. There has been a sticking point over contract length, but it does appear that's where he'll end up. Sad to say that I just have no confidence we'd ever poach a player of his stature from the NRL. If Catalans or Wire had signed him I wouldn’t be surprised at all. I hope I"m proved wrong by this years recruitment.

The good news is that we just need to improve on this year and that won’t be too hard. Fans love Arthur and Blease so will give them a long rope. That’s probably good for the club. I don’t obsess over new players, more interested in playing styles, standards throughout the club……

Oh no, does this mean you won't be starting your yearly campaign for the signings of Segarayo and Hardaker?

If Gannon comes back successfully, a new prop frees up Bentley from his current sub prop role, plus Littlewood as back up it can be covered. Prop is where we need to spend.

Is it possible to imagine BA seeing ryan hall as a second rower (as he was signed before BA came) and that’s why he’s looking for an addition in the back field area of pitch ??
