It could of course be a winger or two.

Reckon it could be one or both of the Senior brothers.....

On the subject of overseas players my son mentioned the name Kodi Nikorima who is off contract too I believe.

I dont watch loads of NRL so dont know if hes any good or not

He's come very good, but he basically has his pick of NRL clubs. He will probably end up at south Sydney with Bennet next year.

You'd be a bit wary if one of your ACL's (assuming he has only got 2) has gone twice.

And re Lino, I got the impression Powell has been quite complimentary where others haven't re our little halfback...do you really think they are thinking of showing him the door.

But one of Doueihi's has already failed. Either he has been unlucky or he needs to contact his surgeon for a refund.

Catalans have just announced TJ is leaving at the end of the season, they offered him a marquee player contract, but he turned it down.

I'm pretty concerned, more about his head knocks than his knees. Just hoping it's worth it. If he strings together form like he has done for Catalans...

If we sign Doueihi and he picks up another long term injury, who is going to be his back up? Presuming that we'll have released Lino to sign him and Gale will have retired, that leaves Lawford who is not ready for regular SL yet, so will we have to sign a backup to Doueihi. Given the amount his wages would be you'd be spending a fair chunk of the salary cap in that case

Lino is here for another 2 years

TJ turned down a contract extension with Catalans.

Exactly, which means any agreement to release him early is going to cost

Matty Russell who has previously been linked with us has gone on loan to Leeds for two months

Isn’t it a different player, Matty is the Warrington winger, the Russell we were linked with is from Huddersfield I thought.

There were rumours on a few SM platforms about both https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... r-29081530

Apparently Trinity are linked with Cam Scott from Hull FC?

Another one nailed on I would say.

Why nailed on?

Well hull coach said about 6 weeks ago that he was resigned to the fact he wouldn’t be signing for hull. Couple papers reported he was on his way to trinity. Tbh would say with Scott hall and Pratt we are covered in the centres, maybe non of them are big recognised names but all British

Think the Russel olly at Huddersfield very similar to Scott coach says he gone and linked to Wakefield

Matty Russel was more general paper talk

Storton is pretty much dead cert too and obviously TJ.

I think we are working on freeing up a quota spot too from one of our contracted players for next year however it means both parties coming to an agreement financially.

Your forgetting Thornley, easily got a year of SL in him and I think he signed a two year deal.

In the list the club put out it has Thornley currently as unconfirmed for next season, although I agree he's got another seasoning him if he wants it.

If we retain Thornley it has to be as backup.

His body has proven year after year it’s not up to playing in SL and at his age that isn’t going to change.

Don’t get me wrong he’s been and still is a good player but he can’t be relied on to give us value in SL.

Hopefully, he goes injury-free this year and that gives him the confidence and is also able to be honest about whether he's up to another SL campaign, that's probably one of the reasons he's still undetermined maybe and we're looking to bring a couple of guys in who are SL standard.

Tbh watching his interview a few weeks ago, he seems like he's had his head screwed on while playing & been clever with his cash. That's enabled him to have a life planned after he's stopped playing. He said he invested his money into a few properties that are now working for him financially. I also think he said something about being a qualified something or other (electrician?) that he can move into after he stops playing. Seems a bright grounded lad, who hasn't been afraid to make sure they are ready to step into something different when they stop playing, who's also used their money wisely.
