I wonder if it's someone already over here? From Salford maybe?

Where are our weaknesses? Thats where we would be looking - right now i'd say wing, 2nd row and stand-off?
MsDonald is a class act at centre

I don't think we have any glaring areas of weakness TBH , credit to the club on that.

Agree, were still good to go again this season. Hirst & Chan can cover Isa who was likely 4th choice SR.

Assess who's not doing the business over the season, then maybe do a mid season signing or leave it for 2026. It's a nice position to be in having a quota spot free if some top player becomes available.

For me, only Keighran & Miski have question marks over them for 2026 (In terms of upgrading).

Also maybe a prop upgrade to support Thompson & Havard, if Dupree, Hill & Mago aren't performing. (Byrne looks like he's off 2026)

Liam Byrne is going to Wire next season. There is a thread covering this topic 😊
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan
