Lunt, Grix and Mason signed long term deals last week with Huddersfield, you'll have to look elsewhere, sorry!!



David Hodgson is available though and he would do a good job, is still a great finisher. Isn't he a Hull lad (and HKR fan)??

3 good re-signings for Hudds, the club over recent years has built such a strong squad.

Don't know if he's a Rovers fan but he is from East Hull, Longhill iirc.



I think we need two props, a hooker and a winger. No idea where they'll come from though.

I'd agree with that, though one prop would be enough if we promote and retain the right players. Hodgson would be an option for the wing, but is approaching 30. Ainscough only signed for one year at Bradford and would be a younger, more exciting (if certainly more erratic) choice.



1 visit to the polynesian prop factory, 1 Shaun Ainscough or David Hodgson, 1 Tommy Lee (ducks and covers).



The times they are a-changing - retention is the new recruitment, I reckon.

Should try target Harrisen Hansen from Wigan, failing that, audacious bids for Roby or Luke Robinson!!

I personally wouldn't touch Ainscough with a 10 foot pole ( I dont know any ten foot Poles before anyone starts!). His defence is appalling. I don't think he fits the Morgan template for a winger. Hodgson would be a much better bet in the short/medium term, although he would have to be sensible over his wage demands - I understand he is on a v.good deal at Hudds.



Big prop & new hooker are the 2 priorities for external recruitment. However, the priority should be to sign up some existing players in this order:



1. Taylor

2. Galea

3. Briscoe

4. Watts

5. Cook



After that, I would consider letting the rest leave, Vella is past it, Colbon is way too average and Cockayne embarrasses the club too often.

Hodgson wouldn't be a bad signing at all, still has a few good years left in him.

I would give Rob Worrincey a shot from Halifax, go for Jon Wilkin, we need to keep Scott Taylor and I would give James Green from the reserves a full time contract also. We need another hooker but cnt think of a suitable realistic replacement in the UK, I like Matty Smith, does he play hooker ? and would be good cover for the half backs, then there is the old chesnut, how about Andy Ellis ?

Worrincey isn't SL standard, just a decent Championship player. Wilkin is on a long term deal and won't be interested in leaving Saints. I like Matty Smith but he's more a 7 than a 9, and not fit to lace Dobson's boots. We need a specialist 9 to move us forward. Andy Ellis is a great kid, but I would hope we can do better than him, keeping Fisher would be a better move than bringing Ellis back, and I don't think Fish is the answer either.



We should have gone for Diskin when he became available.

I would be shocked and amazed if we even consider brining in Worrincy!



Get Allams money spent on Clark from Cas.

Briscoe going to Widnes Cockayne fullback



New Winger Utai



My Prop would be Cashmere from Salford



Hooker Keep Fisher and Hodgson his only problem is around play the ball needs to learn to pass off the floor at dummy half Morgan need to work on this weekness

Cockayne to fullback takes us backwards to 2007 standard. He's simply not good enough to be trusted with the No.1 shirt week in week out.



I like Cashmere, what's his contract situation at Salford?
