I think if Momo and Sangare go and Sivo' wage is half covered by his former team then we should have some cap free.

Oledski
Palasia
Holroyd
Lisone
Jenkins

Isn't bad. I'd be happier with another starting quality prop but I think just getting those two off the books is good work

Maybe we will see Gannon doing the odd spell at prop.

TNW is still here isn't he? I think he'll prove too small in the long term, but as sixth choice he'd be OK. The one that needs to improve massively (assuming Holroyd can get fit) is Lisone. He is way down on what we need from a quota player on last year's form, and needs to show he can cut out mistakes and have an impact against better teams, not just come on and batter everyone when we're already winning.

Great news - the French lump ( Sangare ) on his way to Salford - a total waste of space. Heres hoping , Momo next .

I think you need balance in the front row. We used to have two absolute beasts in Peacock and Leuleui who were the starters, with Bailey and Kirke who were simply there to hold the fort while the other two had a rest.

Our balance in FR can't be that heavily weighted on two players anymore. It looks like both Palasia and Jenkins are in the mould of bigger minute props. Palasia seems to have decent hands, and those three alongside Mik and Holroyd (if he can stay fit) could create good consistency across our interchange without loosing intensity.

I'm hopefully Lisone being limited to 15 minute high energy stints will free him up to do his role better. Sangare when he first joined also seemed like a decent enough, shorter minute impact player. I can't understand the desire to have ever made him into a starting FR.

Parra have announced Sivo is to leave the club. I wonder where he's off.

Hmm.. it's hoping Holroyd stays fit and Jenkins works out is that... TNW the same..

Totally agree. Also you never know with Sanagare with his age and a full pre season under Brad Arthur. He's still got the potential to mature yet..

One of the reasons I was optimistic last season was that a 'fit Holroyd' would feature regularly and be pushing alongside Oledski for an England place. It is all the more worrying if we're pinning our hopes on him again. A real Sangare replacement would be ideal, notwithstanding the two forward additions made so far. After all, Holroyd played less in 2024 and when he did play looked worse than Sangare, IMO.

I said after we announced Connor that if we could swap Mom for Sivo or a good quality NRL centre and then Sangare for Byrne or Eseh that I think that would be a decent off season.

I think Sivo and Eseh are the most likely to come in
