Came through the academy, still only young but played the majority of last season because of McNally being injured a lot of the time.
Very nearly joined Featherstone during the off season but decided to stay with us and go full time.
Not the biggest and not the quickest but is certainly a prospect and worth keeping.

He can't do it all on his own though and if Gregg leaves we'll need somebody else. The problem is, who?

Guess, you would prefer an experienced FB in the championship....with Pickersgill as back up. I've heard different rumours about McNally, 'having a break from the game/retiring to signing for Leigh.
If we don't sign him, we also have no recognized full back. I was hoping we would get Will Dagger back on loan from Hull KR....but nothing yet. And also we've still not announced any pre-season games !!!

It must be time for a clue
I keep looking over other teams squads, and cant find anyone that would pleasantly surprise and be let go by the current team

Well I’m going to put a name up
My guess is
Adam quinlan

Quinlan did his ACL in September.

Let's go for the old nugget Keiran Moss.

Signed for north Sydney Bears

Ile stick with my choice, I believe it will be someone from hulkr, only my own thoughts though

I think he signed a contract extension with KR during last season, then as someone else has mentioned he got a long term injury at the back end of the season. Can't see it.

My thoughts are that if they have signed josh drinkwater on some silly money, then they will need to balance the books, and as we all know, contracts mean nothing

But why would we sign someone who will probably miss most of season ?

As a direct and similar replacement for GM. Ahem.

I know who would be a nice surprise
Damian sironen
I know he ain’t no full back
But boy oh boy can he play

1. Hitchcox
2. Ryan
3. Webster
4. Gibson
5. Evans

Considerably? Realise im a bit late to the party

As for replacement, people saying played for Leigh and Cas earlier in the thread I would love Clare back. He seemed to love his time here, plus hes studying so PT may suit too

I see Evans more as a centre judging from comments so does kear

Some speculation on the Leeds board that Golding could be on his way to us?
No idea if there's even a hint of truth to it but he wouldn't be the first Leeds youngster to make the short trip over to us.

Never rated him - that said, I'd have him at this level.

Tbf it’s only one fan saying he wouldn’t be surprised if he came

Was myself. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. He’s got big competition at full back with Walker, then we have cover with Lolohea and Sutcliffe. He has competition at wing with Briscoe x2, Handley and Newman. Also his best friend and coaching colleague is at Bradford too.

Seems to want to stay and fight for a place at Leeds from what I hear.

To be fair, everything Golding says is the normal, anodyne sort of stuff which all, well nearly all, players usually say in these circumstances; I'll play where I'm picked, I'll fight for my place, I love this club and I'll do anything for the badge etc. When it comes down to it, joining another club on loan (I'm assuming there is no chance we could be 'signing' him, his wages alone would probably scupper that) is just part of doing what I'm told?

I'd take Golding at this level. While I think Pickers deserves the no.1 spot to continue to develop, this league is a massive step up from L1. To expect him to play 30+ games when it's the likes of Fev/Fax/Batley/Widnes every week, it will take its toll. Plus if he gets injured we don't really have a natural replacement. Putting Hytchcox or Ryan there takes away our real strike weapons out wide.
