Decent signing for you guys

If true, reasonable player.



Also due to my reckoning it would mean no Fifita or hopefully tupou, unless he has a Eurpean passport.

It would mean Fifita imo, it doesn't matter if he has a European passport, he's non fed trained and counts on quota.

Just looking at the comings and going



Forwards



Looks like fifita, anderson, yates and scruton out replaced by allgood and hurst



moore out williams in making finn a forward



utilities



hall, tansy out grix in



frankly am a bit underwhelmed at moment and if this is right can't see much other than us getting smashed in forwards which was our fundamental problem most of last season



Guess we have one more to sign probably a second rower

If this is correct I personally think they'll be another Prop to arrive, a English one and maybe second row. Also with what's happened to Moore and his contract potentially ripped up, with money from that I see no reason why can't find a proper Hooker to replace him, but we'll see.



Although it would have been great to add Fifita to the pack next year, essentially though he was brought in because England got injured and was out for the season. So in reality we have potentially replaced Anderson for Allgood and Hirst for Scruton/Yates.

Also, are Annakin and Kirmond both going to be fit for next season ?

Haven't heard about Annakin but Kirmond's meant to be I believe.



Also we had that bit of a strange loan from Warrington, Harrison who came for 3 games. I know he's in his testimonial next season but I still wonder about that, is their any favor owed? Like the previous year with Grix.

Chester said only Jowitt and Finn would not be in from start of Pre season on 31st October

Looks an ok signing to me but will be hitting YouTube before giving a more considered opinion. Normal HKR suspects telling us how crap he is so if he's half as bad and past it as Fox, cockayne and Mariano were then he should be pretty good

He also said we made 5 new signings, so far we've had Williams and maybe Allgood and also the Moore situation recently cropped up.



I'd be surprised if we went into the season with England, , Allgood, Hirst, Simon, Walker as out and out Props, with Arona as back up if injuries occur. It seems risky and little bit lacking in go forward, obviously just imo. I think If we signed someone like Cox, I'd be happier that we could seriously lay a platform for our backs.

I'm the same, I saw him a few times during the year but apart from stats couldn't tell you a great deal tbh.

Correct me if I'm wrong bur as far as I understand it you can have 7 players that are quota/non-fed. Kolpak players (Tongan and Samoans etc) don't count.



Quotas/Non-Fed (5 - still room for 2 more)

- Bill Tupou

- Jacob Miller

- Sam Williams

- Tinirau Arona?

- Mitchell Allgood (if we sign him)



Kolpak (2)

- Anthony Tupou (Tongan)

- Michael Sio (Samoan)



And as far as I know both Andrew Fifita and David Fifita can count as Tongan as they come from a Tongan decent. There for we'd be more than eligible to sign them both.



However. I personally think we will only sign Dave (and that's at a push)
