From the preview of tomorrow’s League Express:



Adam Pearson speaks exclusively with us, and gives an interesting insight into the club’s recruitment plans for 2020..

Beaten to it by a minute!

AP has previously said they are open to marquee signings, and they would review things

Think they’ve maybe realised last years recruitment and retention wasn’t a success.

Sounds like it’s not a case of who’s leaving, more who’s staying!

I think we need 3/4 signings, as long as we keep Scott, Faramino, Sneyd, Litten, Hadley and Westerman (Although still have doubts on him, due to injuries)



We need 1/2 backrowers, a prop and a winger.



2/3 overseas players and I'd try for a UK winger.



Joel Thompson is one name I've heard, would be good signing and replacement for Manu.

Don’t forget Radders Dave

I'd settle for Thompson, think he's our kind of player.

The way Pearson talks it that article I think it is a done deal

My preference would be Radders to continue, we know at times we’ve had results which frankly embarrass us, and last year it was a dire struggle at the end of the season, injuries although boring to talk about crippled us. I would think Radders is assigned to secure players for next year, so it does look like we are giving him a new deal.



It is a constant balancing act, keeping players happy, perhaps already knowing they will be leaving next year, but still wanting 100% from them this season.



And I suppose if you do go down the Warrington route paying Greg Austin wheelbarrow loads of dosh, how do other players like Hill or Ratchie feel about the pay structure, as a team game their value is just as great as Austin or Widdop.

5 or 6 players coming from Australia! Wow - Aubusson, Joel Thompson, Mahe Fonua??

100% correct, even marquee players need another 12 on the field with them.

Sneyd wants Marquee money and after saturday again proves how important he is for us, I'd personally like to tie him down first with Faraimo, Westerman and Scott our priorities.
