There seems to be a few very good NRL centres up for grabs at the moment, whether we could land them is another question, but at the moment there are James Roberts, Peter Hiku and Tim Lafai all looking for clubs, hope some enquiries are being drafted.



Thought some announcements would have been made by now in all honesty with regards to the squad, ferres etc.

A top quality centre would be great as currently i don't think Connor is good enough as first choice.

That would allow Wardle to move to second row and along with Lawrence,Taai,Patrick and Roberts we should have enough cover in this area.

I would also expect Hinchcliffe is an 80 minute player so during games if Robinson or Leeming come on from the bench he could move into the back row for this part of the game.

Pomeroy also without a club...

looks like hinchcliffe will be given the number 9 shirt and playing hooker for next season, good news

ferres given the number 11 squad number for 2016.

ferres has to have a sq. the legal in and out. the key is who can we get to replace him the squad even with ferres looks light in the back row and backs

yeh does look abit light



we are relying alot on hinchcliffe this year i think



some of the youngsters are going to have to step up too i feel which is no bad thing. roberts could be the one



wardles brother even brought in we are that light in the backs

huby broken his wrist





out for first 6 weeks of sl season



rapira, crabtree, smith with maybe taai filling in at prop now? anderson might go with josh johnson too

You would think we might be trying to bring someone else in now, second rower perhaps, otherwise we will be expecting BIG seasons from one or two of the young forwards.

Huby. broken wrist or is it hand.? What is it Coach Anderson and how did it happen????????

Ferres saga???? Going to be lightweight thinks.

I'm really worried about our strength in depth particularly now Huby's out for 6 weeks.

A lot will depend on Rapira and his fitness and I wouldn't want to put my mortgage on Rapira's fitness, I'm afraid.

Suspect the club are happy to take Ferres' contract off the cap as - unfortunately, as usual, season ticket sales have been nothing to write home about and we're skint.

Not all that optimistic for the season (can you tell?)



Oh, and whilst I'm on my high-horse, In my opinion, once again the club (Thewlis) has been appalling in it's communication with the fans since the end of last season which does nothing whatsoever to foster any spirit of 'togetherness'.

I've been of the quiet opinion for a while that Thewlis is the weak link in the giants chain



I wasn't optimistic last season either, but I'll wait to see how we run before I make judgement
