As said a couple of days ago, I'm ok not signing Sneyd, something didn't feel quite right and had a Fonua type feel about it.
Gives Balmforth a chance to show us what he can do and earn a new deal.
OK with Cust and Seizer, but any injury and we are in trouble, as both have had issues in the past, not confident with those two playing most of the season.
Could keep an eye on the market and see if anyone comes up, but not easy without a quota spot.
Was hoping we would make a play for Pryce, but nothing reported anywhere.
My gut says our 17 looks something like this with a rough back up for each position.
Definitely weak in front row and definitely a risk with Cust till we’ve seen if we’re getting Wigan or Salford cust. It’s an improvement on last year and a nice reliance on youth.

Feel the same to be honest Dave re Sneyd, it very rarely pans out well when going back particularly after doing well first time around. As you say it's not going to be easy to find a quality half at this time of year and thats non quota.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Moy and Martin are going to busy in that second team
