He might of struggled but still managed to bag 11 tries in 24 games for them. If he signs on too, I'm struggling to agree with myself who our strongest line up would be :lol: :lol: :lol:

Overall the squad does look stronger, especially when you compare the original squad that started the 2024 season, with those who have come in (either mid-season or new for 2025):

1. Tom Holmes
2. Ben Blackmore Jayden Okunbor
3. Joe Arundel Guy Armitage
4. Kieron Gill
5. Jorge Tuafua
6. Lee Gaskell Joe Keyes
7. Jordan Lilley
8. Jordan Baldwinson Franklin Pele
9. George Flanagan Tyran Ott
10. Ebon Scurr
11. Brad England Emmanuel Waine
12. Chester Butler Matty Gee
13. Michael Lawrence
14. John Davies James Donaldson
15. Dan Smith
16. Mitch Souter
17. Eribe Doro Ronan Michael
18. Kevan Appo
19. Sam Hallas
20. Billy Jowitt
21. Jayden Myers
22. Will Oakes Waqa Blake???
23. Dan Okoro Nathan Mason
24. Aidan McGowan James Meadows
30 Eliot Peposhi

Jacob Bateman
Logan Bayliss Brow
Sam Ackroyd
Jamie Gill


I think the only argument you could have is that Doro is hard to replace (Michael is no doubt a good player, but not at the same standard of Doro) and Meadows doesn't really replace McGowan, but certainly adds depth and quality to the halves.

That back line does have an air of 2003 about it!

Does anybody think we may see Doro back on loan next season?

I’m optimistic that once he’s fully fit Bayliss Brow could fill Doro’s shoes. Fitness is key for Nathan Mason too, he looked really good when he was on his loan spell with us in 2023 but has looked well short of fitness when he re-joined in 2024. He needs a big pre-season. Meadows has apparently played a bit of fullback so could cover for Holmes there if needed. Think the signing of Donaldson is v important. We miss the leadership of the likes of Lawrence and Smith sometimes and with them missing a few games with injury we needed to address that. Donaldson is a leader and pretty durable so should be a lynchpin in the side. His display at Fax in 2023 was really good when he was the best forward on the field.

Mason Corbett signed. Leeds Academy hooker. Let go by Leeds at the end of the season.

I'm guessing that Myers/Armitage can slide to wing if needed, especially if the club sign Waqa Blake as is being touted.
