Hope the new coach likes him https://www.totalrl.com/castleford-tigers-swoop-for-sydney-roosters-forward/

Hope he’s a good one. Would have loved a half back or mean prop. But if the best halfback Leeds can get is frawley, then there can’t be many good ones around or available.

RaoulDuke Ben Reynolds at Leigh is not sorted for next season , younger and a million miles better than Miller But he has been on Beaumonts secret pay scale (allegedly) so I doubt we could afford him

From some of the lists I’ve seen being bandied about we’re signing everyone and his brother. Wishful thinking on most of the names. But fairly sure you’ll be getting your prop and half back👍

Who is in and definetely confirmed?

No-one, only the players leaving have been confirmed by the club.

I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we spend the full cap although having said that, we need quality and not so much quantity,

I think we need to tie Westy down to a new contract, Watts and Widdop still being courted by other clubs dependant on who comes up from the championship. Two fighting over Vete’s signature,unfortunately they’re Weight Watchers and Slimming World.

Have no issues with us doing a proper clean out as it was needed. Too many players were signed which offered nothing and it will have cost the club a small fortune, if we’re planning on sticking around in SL then a rethink on how we recruit has to be a good thing. During the time with Powell our younger players never got a real look in and Radford’s recruitment was nothing short of terrible. Hopefully a new focus under Ward will see all of that change.

Matt Has Danny Ward been Confirmed as head coach?

I don’t believe so, he may well know his position,or it may still be under dicussion but like the incoming players nothing concrete. I get it with the players,that’s a changing situation given some of our players are still talking to clubs and there are championship teams whose recruitment criteria may change if they get promoted but when it comes to the coach I would have thought that would have been an easy one to settle.

incoming

RaoulDuke

yorky I would certainly try for him. He’s done wonders over there with little money. Some people say Watson was the good part over there, but it seems Rowley was the important one.

Hepworth

Hull Live reporting Maguire has turned down the coaches role with us but that we are in advanced talks to bring in Milnes, so he could be our incoming half. The prop situation more complex, if we can free up a quota spot apparently Rhys Kennedy is an option,otherwise two championship props are still under consideration. As for our new coach……..any bodies guess.

TheFirm

Hepworth Unless it was McGuire who was bringing those two Hull KR players with him.

Maturecasfan

TheFirm

Can’t be.
Looks like McGuire was never coming.

Hepworth

I believe the discussions between us and Milnes are unrelated to anything that happened (or not) between us and Maguire while Kennedy is being released,which is when our interest began.

Maturecasfan

It’s official.

Luke hooley is a tiger.

Matt

So that’s our fullback then. I’m liking the average ages so far, one thing we needed to do was bring youth back to the team.

Believe that’s 7 signings now, catching up on the 16 that left the club.

mucky1978

So team so far
Hooley
Wood
Sims
Broadbent
QQ
Widdop
Richardson
Watts
Mcshane
Namo
Putt
El-Zakem
Westerman

Horne
Charbelle
?
?

looks stronger but not sure defensively strong.

Hepworth

mucky1978 Looks pretty decent,more pace and a decent blend of youth and experience. Defensively couldn’t be much worse than last year,for me no Miller and Edwards improves that no end,plenty of options to fill those spots on your bench depending on how you want to play and still some decent cover outside the first 17 when the injuries bite. A couple of decent youngsters who look like they could be gradually introduced rather than just be chucked in the deep end. Smaller squad can work as Leigh and Salford have shown if you can keep the guys on the field which has been a weak spot for us. I’ll assume your omission of Vete was just an oversight 😂

stuey

mucky1978

Have your forgotten Mellor & Lawler (two good second rowers).

stuey

mucky1978

Who is Charbelle?

TheFirm

If you chucked Milnes & Kennedy and one more decent prop into that 17 it starts to look pretty sound. Lets hope the deals get done.

yorky

stuey Have your forgotten Mellor & Lawler (two good second rowers).

to be honest with all the comings & goings it will be interesting to see the new full squad when the shirt launch takes place as there may be yet more changes.

mucky1978

stuey

Wouldn’t make my side mate apart from maybe Lawler on bench

TheFirm

stuey Lawler isn’t signed up for next year yet is he?

yorky

mucky1978 Wouldn’t make my side mate apart from maybe Lawler on bench

yes Mellor has been very disappointing either at centre of 2nd row.

Matt

Can the players all have bigger names on the back next season, with all the changes I’ll struggle to work out who’s who!

Hepworth

TheFirm Signed a 2 year contract in 2022, there’s an option for a 3rd year but I haven’t heard we’ve excercised it. Same goes for Mustapha

Hepworth

stuey Tasipale.

Maturecasfan

Announcement today sometime.

Matt

Maturecasfan

Coach announcement or another player?
