We looked good on paper last season (barring being a big prop short), should have been good enough for top 6 anyway.. nothing guaranteed, but you can only judge on paper at this stage and if Sivo comes in it certainly looks much better than last year no doubt.

We now have 6 props over 17 stone in weight allied to guaranteed metres out of backfield .I know they don't all necessarily play to their size or for enough minutes!
Despite the above we should have enough to give us a completely different platform for our hooker and halves.
In theory on paper we should be finishing sowhere between 4th and 6th as a minimum and the gap to the top 3 should be closer.

Onwards and upwards for sure.

I think our weakest position(s) are half back/7 and centre given Newmans past injuries and Frawleys average ish performances.

Guessing that's why we signed Jake Connor.

If we can keep Holroyd / Gannon and Newman fit/ playable then we really should be pushing top 6 hard.

So are we assuming Handley can learn how to defend as a Centre and learn when to pass if he is centre material how come he's played on the wing for most of his career up to now?

He has a full preseason to pick it up.
It's not the best plan but if Momo is leaving and Hall was already signed it might be the best plan we have.

If it doesn't work we JC who plays best at centre and the academy kid

Whilst I`ve always been a massive fan of Ryan Hall (decent bloke off the pitch too having met him a few times now)
I do wonder if it was a panic buy to appease the fans.
Don`t get me wrong he still has something to offer but Sivo and Handley wouldn`t be a bad couple of wingers had Hall not signed.
Then again we would have 2 whingers inside our 2 wingers in Newman and Connor :?

Hall was Hull KR's best player in the Grand Final. Things can taper off at his age but as of now he's a very good signing for at least a year and relatively cheap on the cap.






Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.

We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.

But you’ve got to keep believing.

I think Hall was signed for his reliability and hard yards from deep.
It's only a one year deal so my guess is after that we will either move Handley back to wing and sign or promote a centre or sign a winger depending what's available

If BA sees him as a potential centre that'll do for me. If it doesn't work out we have other options.
