Now we don't just have to worry if our youngsters are good enough for SL, we have to worry if they are good enough for the NRL.

Where on Earth would Super League clubs get £5 million. Every club is in debt and I doubt even Saints, Wire or Huddersfield’s sugar daddies would contemplate spending that ridiculous amount. The cap works and will carry on working, once Rugby League gets over it’s present debt headaches, God knows where AP’s getting the dosh to pay back the government funded pandemic loan, never mind the debt incurred trying to operate during the last 2 seasons.

I think Truman is a good signing, just come back from a serious back injury and think he has played every game and has decent stats.

Very good defender too, think he will do well for us behind our pack.

Cheaper, younger, quicker and better than Reynolds (and non quota too) so certainly an upgrade.

Worth taking a punt on Parcell?

It is believed Parcell is considering all of his options, and has loved his time in the UK.

The 29-year-old is currently in talks with Hull KR over a new deal, but has not ruled out potentially joining another Super League side.
