New for now....as in remainder of 2018.

He also said the same about Eden when he signed.

Powell has said they've signed X player for Y position then played them elsewhere fairly often, if memory serves.

He also said the same about Eden when he signed.

He signed Eden as a full-back but then Hardaker became available and so we put Eden on to the wing, as a replacement for Solomona, because, as the court case v DS advised, we couldn't find a direct replacement of the same calibre. Hardaker was DS's replacement.

He excelled there, hence why we've never put him back to full-back and why we've looked for someone else.

With Mata'utia, I think he's our full-back especially if the rumours about Q not staying are true.

The debate on Holmes is interesting though. I don't question his effort and in particular his defensive qualities are top end. However, for me there are far too many occasions when our renowned left side attack breaks down when he gets involved. Last year was the prime example; when he was out we set opposing teams aside but on his return we merely got by.

I'll continue to monitor with interest...
The reason the attack breaks down when it gets to Holmes is because hes the front runner running the ins line right at the line so he either goes through the gap or meets contract as soon as he receives the ball.

Hope not.

We either play PM at FB (which is what we signed him for didn't we ?) and look for a new centre

or

Play PM at centre and either play QLT at FB or find another.

Really going to depend on PM and DP as to where he see's him playing.

Casty just extended at Catalan. Can’t see Mead or Williame heading to Cas.

Why do we need Finn.
Gale
Ellis
Roberts
Trueman.

Could the rumours be true, Roberts to leave, not sure Finn is the answer.
Why have Wakefield released him?

So someone sees Powell talking to one of his ex players and that means we are signing him ? No wonder there's so many false rumours on this site.
