Quote jonh="jonh"Can’t see us going with more halves than we have. We currently have 3 front line halves in the squad. The duel reg agreement may also give us access to Rocky Hampshire and Jack Farrimond (who is a very special young player)

Props I’d like to see 1 more experienced older head sign, duel reg I am sure will see us get access to at least 3 or 4 props including Chan, Hill and Eseh all who have SL pedigree.

Fullback is a position I’d like to see us get cover. Wingers often cover fullback but Jerry isn’t a fullback and Walmsley has played there but I’m not convinced by him.

I expect us to have access to Ekerskey (very good young centre) abd also Douglas (winger) if we pick up knocks from Wigan but I don’t really see where they have a 1 coming through although Rocky has again showed he can play there very well if needed.'"

Came through Leeds academy I believe.

Yeah, as I said, I remember him playing for England Academy against the Aussies while a Leeds junior. I seem to remember quite a bit of hype about him when he was going through their Academy at that time, but he only lasted a year in their senior set-up before moving to Hudds, might have been down to the lack of chances he was getting. I also think he made his SL debut against Trinity for Leeds.

He'd be a good shout and seems to be coming into his prime, it also leaves that space open to look for someone that suits us from the NRL. But hasn't Trout still got another year on his contract for Leigh? He signed for 3 years for the 2024 season, so that takes us till the end of 2026 season. Not saying we couldn't move for him, but we'd have to pay a fee.
