It'll be interesting to see how Crosby goes next year. Overall, he's a solid player and could give us the bit of aggression we've been missing. Hopefully the injuries are behind him and a fresh season will bring out the best in him.

Comparing the outs in the last twelve months to the ins and you’d think we have a good amount of salary left.

Watkins > Martin
Lolohea > Lui
Parcell > Seumanufagai
Ormondroyd, Walters, Golding > Gale
JJB, Ablett > Mellor
Mullally > Donaldson

Unconfirmed:
Merrin?, Myler?, Singleton?, Ferres?

Reports in Aus saying Merrin is having difficulty finding a NRL club with enough cap space left to sign him.

I’m perfectly fine with him staying, he’s been brilliant for us. We just need more signings to compliment him

Interesting comments from Sinny in YEP today. Looking to bring a couple more in. It's not a direct quote, but suggestion from Peter Smith that a top class 9 is one of those 2 signings. Who's available in that department?

Seems like Cameron Smith is the only really high profile who's future is undecided, but if were already linked with Prior we'd need to get rid of additional quota players plus Merrin.

I'd be more than happy for Merrin to stay, I was hoping to see him in a side not battling against relegation as I think he would be even better for us in that situation.

it's not ideal unless his wife is totally on board aswel.If he does stay that will put an end to Prior and Greenwood signing.We still need a nine unless plan is to use Dwyer and Myler which I not convinced will be the best option.

Greenwood was never an option,Wigan won’t sell him.Does anyone honestly believe Cameron Smith would come over here?!! Apparently he’s signing a one year deal to finish his career at Storm,plus Luke has no interest in coming over here,hence him ready to take a pay cut to join the Para.The 9 at Featherstone is the likely one if they can fit him in plus Ferres resigning on a one year deal

Cameron smith already has another year contract with the storm.

I knew there was a year in it somehow.Heard elsewhere that Leeds were looking at Jake Friend,which unlikely as it is would be a cracking signing.

Ava Martin and Lui all on back loaded contracts so all three are on more this year.Unless HKR make a play for Myler then can’t see him going anywhere

Cameron Smith is pie in the sky talk.

Sinfield mentioned youth a lot maybe they are hoping corey Johnson steps ip next year - risky just going with him and dwyer though

Sinfield says in the YEP we are looking at least two more but could be more dependent on players leaving the club. By sound of it, Ferres, Singleton and Albert could leave the club. Mentions Matt Prior coming in too if the overseas quota spot can be found.

Wigan have said they are happy to listen to offers for him apparently.

Only played 6 games all last season due to injury

True but at least he's the right side of 30. I'd be very underwhelmed if we signed Prior - he'll be 33 early next year and isn't exactly a superstar.

Prior wants marquee money so only chance of him arriving is if Merrin leaves.The young outside from NRL sounds more optimistic,can cover 2/3 positions

These recruitment speculations and press releases will pick up speed as the season ticket deadline gets closer

True.

Also around new shirt release dates etc, media by numbers.

If we cant get the correct players in this year, I hope to god we are doing the shopping for 2021 now, getting them lined up.

More than likely we'll run with the "weve purposely left space under the cap for a potential mid season signing"

There isn’t a season ticket deadline date is there?

Renewal date is early November so yes.

9th November I think

Saw a nervous looking Singleton meeting Brian Mc at a coffee shop in Leeds last week. Looked like a job interview to me. Singleton to Toronto then?

Lol too late ...just seen the singleton to Toronto thing has hit the news as a potential. It's got legs though as that was def a 'business' meeting!

Hopefully Singleton is moved on, not good enough imo
