Agree with PopTart, Booth isn't going to shift any of the incumbents and we have a relatively young back line.

I'm not saying its not the right thing to do... I just thought Booth had the x factor and I was looking forward to seeing him fulfil his potential at Belle Vue.. That said Tchamambe is an outstanding prospect.. A huge human (nearly 6' 5") and very fast... An academy international and still only 19

Personally don’t mind this, Booth is behind Jowitt and Rourke at full back and Pratt, Scott and Hall at centre. Bringing in a talented young British winger is a smart move. Johnstone has had previous injury issues, Walmsley is unproven at SL and Russel has also had injury issues. It provides competition for places and cover should we have injuries.

Agree with this , add myers into the equation as well. We may also get the best deal out of this but only time will tell.wing is the position slightly down on so I quite like it.

Do we need another winger?

Another winger? Maybe
A 6 foot 5 inch academy international? Well ...probably yes.

You could argue potentially, we need a high-class one more than a centre or FB. We have Johnstone who's world-class, then we have Walmsley who's quota and never played SL level and many people doubt whether he's good enough to be a quota wing. Then we have Russell who's towards the back end of his career but will do a decent job. This kid's a 6ft 5 age group international, his ceiling seems massive. If it happens it doesn't appear we're getting the rough end of any deal IMO and tbf Powell and Mills recruitment hasn't gone wrong so far.
Tbh Powell's mates with Noah's dad, it's part of why he brought him over from Wire, so there must be a good reason he'd be willing to let him him go after steadily bringing him on since he arrived and has talked highly of him.
Hull KR were making moves for him anyway and seemed to value him more than we do, given our relative strength in his position. He's still going to be out on loan at Hunslet even if he goes according to the article so Hull KR see him the same as we did, someone for 2026.

I think a few of you are trying to justify the move, which is fine if it makes you feel better, but I can't help feeling that if Carter had done this deal some of you justifiers would be in the very least slightly perturbed. Maybe I'm wrong. Don't get me wrong, lets maintain the positivity, but lets not think that Mills and Powell's poop don't stink. I think Booth had an X factor and we know little about the new bloke. If he turns out to be Dom Young in 2 years (if we still have him) then you are welcome to re-birth this message.

Probably best to get the facts behind it first. I trust the management team
