With Douglas apparently confirmed that doesn't leave much scope for freshening up the squad - I'd be surprised if Mcomb doesn't resign. Would expect Larroyer to leave, would like Maizen to get another year, but if he does, it doesn't leave much scope for Finn to bring in any of his own players. Wouldn't be surprised if the club try to move on one or 2 contracted for next year to give Finn a bit more scope to bring players in, but that could well prove difficult. Maher would be the obvious one, as we seem overloaded with props, and based on this seasons performances he'd be unlikely to get a look in.

Looking at that,there'd be 5 at least of the re-signed that would go for me..a sad legacy for Finn to have to work with.

Re: Squad 2024 : Wed Sep 27, 2023 2:57 pm  

See that Keighley winger who trampled over Lachlan twice is being chased by Oldham.A different option to what we have currently ?

Re: Squad 2024 : Wed Sep 27, 2023 8:08 pm  

Even though it would upset one of our hookers I'd still definitely sign AOB if at all possible as I think he makes a massive difference to the team; on the basis of all his games bar one I'd also be pleased to see Sutcliffe sign on. Watched a replay of the Bradford Sheffield game and Douglas looked a very useful prop - bit frustrating seeing Doro and Gwaze both running in like trains. Unless we can shed some of those already contracted I'd be surprised if we could afford to do much more business. At the start of this last season most felt we had a belting squad, so while there's a temptation to call for massive changes after such a disappointing end to the season, with a fresh approach under a new coach weirdly I'd probably still start next season quite confident. While initially I was pleased when we tied down so many players early for next season, it may also actually help next season that a lot will be playing for their next contract.

At the moment there’s just 18 confirmed on Nat’s list, add 1 more to that with Brandon Douglas so there must be either some more retentions or new incomings as a squad of 19 is well short.

Likely come out one way or another when all the comps have finished.

Re: Squad 2024 : Thu Sep 28, 2023 3:14 pm  

Oakley and Forster depart...what an epic waste of time there...there isnt the money for project signings any more.Seems to be some truth in the Curtis Davies rumour...il say no more.

Re: Squad 2024 : Thu Sep 28, 2023 3:24 pm  

On the clubs facebook fans forum Matthew shaw as written a article that we are chasing our former player Curtis Davies. This for me would be a mistake he may come cheap as a squad filler but we need better quality signings than this to progress next year. As for Oakley and Forster i guess we will never know, but Forster did look handy in our preseason game with Wakefield and i would of liked at some point to see him given a go this season.

Re: Squad 2024 : Thu Sep 28, 2023 3:44 pm  

Connor Davies was with Finn at Dewsbury and it’s Liam who’s the one linked with him but as his first signing to be made directly can’t see why we need a 3rd 9 unless one of the others is being released or playing somewhere else?
