Would rather we go after Jim Dymock to be fair.

That is shame so looks like we are stuck with an overpriced dud in Sullivan unless he can pull his finger out and start playing like he should.

Aidan Sezer will return to England to finish his career next season - after reportedly agreeing a deal to join Hull FC in 2025.www.loverugbyleague.com
Pretty sure this was a Marshall signing so not great from that POV. $500k per season in reserve grade.

Gotta say that the Michael Chammas stories has dulled my interest in the possible new signings

We do need an experienced head in the forwards to play the role Klemmer was supposed to.
We have no alpha in the pack.

That’d be a good look to win over the fans if he signs run out in ya first game with a black white and ginger hair do.

Thanks for that T_O.
What position did Turuva end up playing?

Skelton had an average performance, was playing busted for 30 minutes of the clash and still made nearly double the metres that any of our current backs make in a game.
All 3 will be good additions in 2025!
He played on the wing and was reliable/dangerous all night.

That’s good to hear.
Luai played 7 again didn’t he?

Skelton got injured in the first half, but played on injured, Turuva was really good, Luai was man of the match, Luai and Turuva linked up on the left quite a few times.
Even the FOX crew who love to kick us when we are down, said Benji was proven right, he said he wanted Luai to run the team, most didn't think he could, but has proven them all wrong. Hell even Ivan begrudgingly praised him at the press conference
Yes, and as champion @851 said above, was man of the match!

Skelton impressed me with a few things. What was obvious is his defence needs work. But his runs out of his own end and offloads are massive. Also he has a lot of skill for a big guy

Sezar was always a short term Band-Aid. The moment we signed Luai and Galvin stood up, he became irrelevant for ‘25.
Not sure why letting Sezer go means anything about Sullivan. We don't have to keep either of them.

I get that an experienced player may be valuable but that doesn't mean he has to be towards the end of his career. A younger player, better able to cope with the rigours and pace of the game is ideal. Experience can be obtained but aging cannot be reversed.

Speaking with a few people close to things, Kobe won’t be offered any deal until Horsborough has given a decision. It will only be one or the other.

Not bad at all
we will improve next year no doubt , just need to add the muscle up front
and some experience
Hunt , Bird , Red Nut would do the job along side our existing
then Add experienced coach beside Benj for 2 years

Can we reverse the order please! Hetherington is a tough no thrills style we need in our forwards.
