I'm sure I read somewhere he's a Leeds lad, I'd imagine they would be his preference. We'll obviously face competition from a few clubs



Hopefully we can land him and it turns out better than Bienek. With Brown too we'd have 2 of the brightest front row talents.



Satae, Sao, Taylor, Quota Prop, Fash, Brown, Scurr looks a bit more balanced than what we have at the minute

Rumours of Masi getting a new deal too

.... don't forget the reserves are supposed to be back next year.

With Masi its a tough one, not fulfilling any of the potential he has so far doesn't help nor does his injury record over the last 2 seasons. For me I would be reluctant to give him another deal personally, though could possibly see a 1 year deal that reflects the fact he hasn't played much in 2 seasons as I wouldn't expect him to be a big hit in terms of cap space.

Masi might be worth a cheap one year deal, to give BH an opportunity to work with him and see if he can be developed.

He wasn't terrible last year just playing in a well beaten side and he came with big expectations, add to that , along with most overseas players landing last year, he came to England in a year of massive pandemic disruption and settling into the country with families etc mustve been a nightmare. The number of overseas player who hit the ground running are in the minority.

He was the scapegoat for a lot of fans last year and it was pretty unjustified in my view

I wouldn't be retaining Masi unfortunately. He's not progressed at the rate we all hoped he would. He's a big guy, but doesn't run his weight. See Wayne Mcdonald, David Mills, Ian Kirke...



I cant imagine Josh Eaves will be kept on by Saints. Young hooker but don't know too much about him

Scurr is the type of signing we should be making, worked out well with Storton, Bentley, Bateman and Whitehead, Bradford seem really good at producing players especially forwards.



Ability wise I like Joe Wardill, offers good cover at backrow and centre, but his injury reckon is a worry, averages about 14 games a season last few years. Although if it was to replace Fonua I'd be happy.

Surely retaining Matongo is the sort of sentimental recruitment decision we need to be moving away from?

with hopefully more teams participating this time....

If we're retaining Matongo it's a farce, you won't sell passes on the back of decisions like this, it's a drain on wages with no return



Let Burrell, brown etc get gametime in the reserves not players like Matongo who are always injured and pushing what 25/26 now

Its all well and good whinging about retaining players but there have to be players available of comparable quality to replace them.

We were short of forwards this year as it is with the general opinion that we need one more, so say we got rid of Bowden, Taylor and Masi as some are suggesting that would leave us needing to recruit 4 forwards. Can't see that happening, can you?
