The way our pack is playing we'll be fighting to keep them rather than wondering how to trim the numbers. Our forwards outmuscled Wigan and look a damned sight tougher than a good number of SL sides. After a season in the Championship building up their partnerships I think they'll be more than SL ready.

If we make S L the owner as said, if a player leaves it will not be because he is going for more money

With the signing of Rodwell meaning we have 8 Quota players and the rule being 7, is there any possibility of "pulling a Leigh" and try claim Isaiah Vagana played his junior rugby in Bradford whilst his dad was over here? Otherwise we're gonna be losing one of them. My money is on either Bain or Boothroyd though I wouldn't want to lose either.

There isn't a limit in Championship.

As PT says there’s no limit in championship. The club has a season to find out what’s best. No need to start thinking about such things now before barely any matches have been played.

I thought the poster was talking about if we return to SL, hence the doing a Leigh, as they returned with 8 quota players.

I think we will see a lot change in the squad towards the back end of the season anyway, alot of overseas players have been signed on 2 year deals but there could be all sorts of clauses when it comes to what league that is in. I would imagine we will see lots of comings and goings should we be promoted so they won't be worrying about been over the quota at this point.

Really looking forward to seeing how he gets on. Be interesting to see if we play him in the front row or back row/13.

I think Rodwell is the playerPowell has wanted from the start. Of our 80 minute forwards, Pitts and Ashurst have limited games left in them. I’m not sure about Cozza, Bain maybe, ditto Boothroyd.

Imo we deffo need an extra engine in the middle, a Kirmo style player. Think this guy will rip up the Chamionshp and will make the step up to SL.

Rodwell appears to have an engine on him. You have to find the balance between having forwards with an engine and having forwards with size and the ability to punch holes in lines and offload. Time will tell if we got it right for this season.

I do think the signing of Rodwell is due to the new rules next season. No tackling above chest means that larger less mobile forwards will hugely struggle next season imo.
