At the minute, I have a feeling this is how we will look for R1 -2026  

1. Rapana
2. Martin
3. Briscoe 
4. Hardaker
5. Barron
6. Cust
7. Sezer 
8. Ese’ese
9. Borough
10. Aydin
11. Cartwright
12. Batchelor 
13. Asiata
14. Ashworth
15. Eseh
16. Bell
17. Balmforth 

I have heard that one of the cladding king sponsors suggested the club are in the process of trying to pay Ligi off so I’ll assume he won’t be here.



Addition of a centre - Hankinson (OOC), King (OOC) or pay a fee for Sam wood at Cas. Shame Pratt has a long deal at wakey.


Halfback - think Cust has done it tough having Chamberlain/Briscoe combination as BK row/Centre but if Will Pryce is available it’s a no brainer. 


Lock those two positions down and I’d be V happy going into 2025. Would be very happy to add Harrison and think it’s a shame that Knight has been written off as thought he looked V handy.

Yes hope fully Jed can get a run of games in make or break for him, Big John very close, Pryce close to, we won't bring anyone in now. 

Putting together a big pack is all well and done, but there is still a lack of quality to compliment it in the backs. Just hoping we can sign a good three-quarter and maybe another half back.
I don't mind Cust, but I think he's more suited as an interchange nine, but then I'd worry about Balmforth, who I rate highly. I'm sure the powers that be are doing all they can to move us forward recruitment wise.

First job in rugby get a good pack .. Without that you win nowt ....Am sure the powers to be will know we need some backs to ...But it is a rebuild ..... We are definitely going in the right direction..... All most of us asked this year was a team that gives it's all and didn't collapse...We have that... Yes we are struggling now but that was to be expected given the injuries to key players .....

Absolutely we're a re-build, I'm looking beyond next season before we hopefully start to reap any rewards. There's a new found fight in the side which is all we could have hoped for. In Cartwright and Co we trust..
