Well we have got rid of zak so we need to get someone in with the money we get back off him...problem is i dont think we have any quota spots left and there is no1 in uk worth taking on unless we take a player from another team like o'brian from salford and pay for them

If the rumours were true all along and Hardacre is signing up with wigan . With a bit of luck Morgan Escare might not be too happy :pray:

No club in super league are going to sell us their starting fb now weve started the season

Our best option is trying to entice a fringe nrl player/take a punt on a kid from they're lower league and release one of our non fed trained players to make space for them

How can we take a NRL full back, no quota spaces left I believe, they're all busy plying their trade at Championship clubs.

Powell will not sign Escare.

I said it pre season and I stand by it. We should've moved for Scott Grix for 2 years.

Now we will have to look at a relative unknown in Aus. Or a National League full back. If we want an out and out full back.

One player I think has great potential and I’d love us to try get him think under Powell he could be a top British full back is Alex walker.

Rhys Hanbury Widnes would sell for right price.

Only fullback available now is Kevin Locke who is as bad as Zak! the realistic option this year is someone on loan. Gives a full year to get the right man for the job in 2019.

Salford are in the brown stuff, Gareth O’Brian would do nicely.

I wouldn't bother with Jowett - he can't even get a gig in the Wakey side although would have been a better fringe addition than Clare. O'Brian fits the bill IMO. He's also had a stint with us before.

I'm at a bit of a loss to understand the thinking behind our current fb issues. Before Hardaker came along we were expecting Eden to be our fb.

"I am delighted to say we have signed Greg Eden for the next two years," coach Daryl Powell said.

"His athletic ability is exceptional which is key in order to play at full-back in our team."

However DP seems to have chosen Roberts to play fb in place of Hardaker making it appear signing Eden as our fb was a mistake. If there's no one available to buy will Eden be given another try at fb? :-k

I wonder how long David Mead will be happy at Catalan....
Grix too old and makes basic errors (see the Robert Lui try last week)
Eden hasn't the authority or brain
Clare - see Eden!
Escare possibly Wigan are also offloading FPN so space on the money front
O'brien an option.... But average
Evalds.... Possible
Locke.....out of the frying pan into the fire....

Fullback is such an integral part of modern rugby and a spine position. Not somewhere where you put square pegs in round holes.
